Thomas Jensen Obituary
Thomas Alexander Jensen, beloved son and brother, passed away on Sunday, December 13, 2020. He was the son of Alexander and Monica Jensen of Portland, and brother to Sarah and her husband, Nathan Grover of Portland and to Rose Jensen and her husband, Warren Amidon of Southington. He dearly loved his nephew and niece, Jack and Vivian Grover, and was looking forward to meeting his new nephew in the spring. He also leaves his grandmother, Joan Richard of South Bend, Indiana, and aunts, uncles, and cousins across the country. Tom was born June 27, 1987 and grew up in Portland. He was a Cub Scout, played Little League and CYO Basketball and was a member of the Portland High School golf team. He graduated Portland High School in 2005 and Central Connecticut State University in 2010. He worked for many years in landscaping and golf course maintenance. He loved cars, was an avid Patriots fan, and seemingly, seemingly had a Seinfeld reference for any occasion. He had many dear and lifelong friends who have been lifelines for him. We will miss his sense of humor and golden heart.
Services will be private. For those wishing to make a memorial contribution please consider giving to Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities at ecad1.org , an organization that has been important for his niece, Vivian.

That he had a ‘golden heart’ is a perfect description of Tom .....

My heart is broken. We have all lost a a truly gentle soul, possessed of the ability to show love during even the darkest days. I have lost one of my dearest friends. Jensen Family, you have lost a beloved son, brother, and uncle; you are all in my heart.

My heart goes out to you on the passing of Tom. We were all fortunate to experience Tom’s playful, sweet, caring spirit in Portland Little League. Baseball wasn’t Tom’s natural talent, but as we all witnessed, there was no one who worked harder for the good of the team and had more fun than Tom. Tom was always prepared. We could always count on Tom to fill so many roles on our team and always with a ready smile and a joyful gleam. May joyful loving memories of Tom sustain and strengthen you always.
