Todd Jensen Obituary

Todd Dean Jensen Jr. 1990 - 2011 Todd Dean Jensen Jr., known as simply TJ to most, was born into this world July 5, 1990, in Porterville, CA to Todd Dean Jensen and Vivian "Rennie" Jensen. He passed away September 3, 2011. TJ was a fun, active, lively person. He had a wide array of friends from all different walks of life. No person was too good or too bad for TJ to befriend and care about them. Some of his favorite hobbies were riding motorcycles and snowboarding with his fiance. He loved being around people. He would often show up at his brother's house just to talk, and would always have one friend or another looking to spend time with him. TJ never hesitated to help somebody. TJ spent a large amount of his life, ever since early childhood, working with his dad and grandpa and brother at the family farms. TJ loved being outside, loved working, and was good at any task he set his mind to. He loved driving tractors and was very good at it. TJ had many different experiences during his life. He wanted to fly a plane, so he got into flight school and he flew that plane. He recently completed schooling for being a welder, another activity he really loved. TJ is survived by his dad and step mom, Todd and Cindy Jensen. His mother Vivian "Rennie" Jensen. His fiance Brittany Graham. Grandparents Alfred and Rosemary Giumarra. Brother and sister in law Aaron and Jessica Jensen, and children. Sister Tarrah Wilson and children. Sister and brother in law Tracy and Brian Yeomans and children. As well as his little dog Hurley. He leaves behind many nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and especially friends. He is preceded in death by many family members, and his 2 dogs Princess and Chevy, who were the closest things he ever had to babies of his own. There were many people waiting to great him in heaven. TJ will be truly missed by all who knew him, and that was an exceptionally lucky, and quite large, amount of people. Viewing on Thursday, September 8 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Hillcrest Memorial in Bakersfield. Funeral on Friday, September 9 at 2:00 pm. www.bakersfield.com/obits

There are so many memories watching you grow up, always smiling, always laughing and always just being content when with friends. I loved you as one of my own and trusted you more then you knew. I always knew you had Justines back, that you would not let harm come to her. You were a great friend to her and helped her through things that I couldn't and I thank you so much for being that friend to her. My prayers will continue for your family, friends and Britney. Rest in peace and know you will live in our hearts forever.

T.J., I never got the opportunity to meet you, but after looking at your picture and reading what your loved ones had written about your life in today's paper I felt a deep connection to you. Maybe you caught my eye because you are only a few years younger than I am and I'm also a "ginger." Did you ever get called that? just looking at your picture I can tell your heart is open and full of light.My dogs are my babies too :) Many people go through longer lifespans never knowing the true love that you experienced with your fiance. I am confident that the world is a better place because of your contribution to it.May you dwell in God's house forever!

TJ, You will be greatly missed by everyone who knew you. You were always smiling and laughing and always wanting to have a good time. Could never sit still, always wanted to be a busy bee.

Britt loves you deeply and needs you to watch over her. Always be beside her wherever she goes, protecting her, guiding her, and loving her, even if its from far. This is one of many comments to come. Xoxo Lovey. Give 'em hell in heaven, Show 'em how its done TJ. Love you.
