For the Jenson Family. I'm so sorry for your loss, Dana was to young to pass.. I haven't known Dana for long but when I was introduced to Dana it had been one of the sadest times of my life. My Mom and shortly after my dog Sanders of 9 years had just past away. Dana was the first person to make me laugh. He came into my life as a stranger but that day when he left he felt like I had gained a brother. Dana generally cared about people and how they felt.. He was gentle and caring and he knew when he needed to be those things. He was also gangster when he had to be. These were the times he made me laugh the hardest. Because he was certainly funny at being a gangster. During some of our conversations he talked about his family and his daughters. He always wanted to do better and be better for those girls. When Dana came to visit there was always a level of excitement I was always looking for to the things that were certain. Good conversation Good Food Hours of laughing. Dana was a good man, friend, and father.
For his parents Dana would speak of his family how much he loved you for you were his life.
For his daughters he loved you like no other you were his heart.
He always wanted to do better be better for his girls and he also loved his job..
Just know that he will be missed and this is so sad it's knocked the wind from my sails.
I will continue to pray for the family and his friends..
That some how you may find peace at this time of great sadness.
If he were here he'd be the first one to make you laugh and thatsba fact..

My deepest sympathy
May God be with you all.
