Jeff lived in Utah, Washington State, California, Kentucky, Texas and Oklahoma. He visited with his family and friends in Utah and Idaho as often as possible. His positive outlook on life and his ability to find humor in almost any situation made him many friends throughout his life. He was easy to get along with and was always willing to help anyone. Jeff had a great outlook on life and will be greatly missed.

An avid outdoorsman, Jeff was most at home in his travel trailer near a river with his fishing rod or camping underneath an evergreen in the crisp mountain air.  He had many adventures in the last decade with his dachshund L.D. aka Lethal Dose, Long Dog, Little Dog or Lazy Dog.

Jeff married Connie Child on June 26, 1970 in North Ogden, Utah, they later divorced.

Jeff was preceded in death by his dedicated and loving parents Eli and Annabelle Jensen of Willard, UT.

He is also survived by a half-brother Gary (Gayla) Jensen of Tennessee, his son Brad Jensen, daughter and son in-law SueAnn and Joe Reese of Boise, ID.  He was a proud father and friend to both of his children. Jeff was fortunate to have the love of four smart and beautiful granddaughters; Jessica (Tyler) Peterson of Shelley, ID; Megan (Alex) Pena of Idaho Falls, Morgan Reese from Moscow, ID, and Lizzy Reese of Boise, ID. He also had the honor of being great grandpa to Oakley Peterson and the soon to be baby Pena. Never forget how much Grandpa Jeff loves.
