Nathan Jensen

1993 - 2010

Nathan K. Jensen, 17, of Island Park, died Sunday, Jan. 10, 2010, at his home. He was born Jan. 6, 1993, in Idaho Falls to Jackie Cameron Jensen and Kelly Ray Jensen. He lived in Island Park his entire life and attended school in Ashton. He was a junior at North Fremont High School.
He was very passionate about life, his interests and the people that were close to him. He enjoyed playing his guitars and was very talented. His ability allowed him to play just about anything. He rode snowmobiles, dirt bikes and snowboarded. By the time he was 16, he had broken all of his limbs doing the things he enjoyed.
Nate worked in the kitchen at Phillips Lodge and touched everyone that he worked with. His wit and sense of humor were incredible.
He is survived by his mother, Jackie Jensen, his father, Kelly Jensen, and sister Riley Jensen, all of Island Park; his grandparents, Paul and Judy Deffinger of Pocatello, Roger Cameron of Pocatello and LaRay Scroggins of Ririe; great-grandmother Donna Scroggins of Ririe; and his aunt Christie Cameron of Island Park. He was preceded in death by his great-grandfather Ray Scroggins and great-grandmother Mina Cameron.
