Thomas Jansen Obituary

Thomas E. Jansen Burnt HillsTommy Jansen, 19, passed away suddenly from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on July 2, 2013. Born in Niskayuna, NY, the beloved son of Elizabeth Malizia and James Jansen. Tommy was a graduate of Burnt Hills Ballston Lake High School, currently a student at HVCC, studying auto mechanics, and working at Kulak's Nursery. His passion was riding motorcycles and racing quads (613). If he wasn't working or in school he was on his motorcycle. He was a member of the 2005 Burnt Hills Baseball 11 year old state championship team. Tommy's compassion, sense of humor and wisecracks brought a smile to all he encountered. He will be remembered for his incredible work ethic. He was happiest when his hands were dirty and he was busy. He will always be remembered for his hand-written, Tommy Original Birthday Cards. Tommy loved his dogs Max, Champ and Spike. He is survived by his mother, Lisa Malizia and stepfather, Tony Malizia; and dad, Jim Jansen and stepmother, Lisa Jansen. He is also survived by his beloved siblings Haley Jansen, Lauren Knightes, Kevin Knightes, Robbie Knightes, Anthony Malizia (Jenna) and Robert Malizia (Kristen); grandparents, JoAnn and Tom Friess, Jean and Hank Jansen, and Michael and Barbara Fasciglione; several aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, teammates and riding buddies. Funeral service Saturday morning, 9 a.m. at St. Luke's Church where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated. Interment St. Anthony's Cemetery, Glenville.

Dear Jim and family....I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know there are really no words that will help, but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I found out Friday night about Tommy but was at hospice with my younger sister, who died on Saturday morning. So my brain has been a bit frazzled, but I wanted to let you know I was thinking of you.

Jimmy (and family/friends), I can't tell you how truly saddened I was when I heard about Tommy's accident. I never met him but you were one of my best friends growing up so this really hurts. Such a great picture of him, what a smile he had. No words will make it feel better but please know that you are in my thoughts and I can only hope and pray that the passage of time will help a little each day.

God has a plan for Tommy and there are reasons for his passing that no one can understand at this point but just understand you have an awesome guardian angel, which; I can understand that it is not comforting at this time.
