Mark Jensen Obituary
January 24, 1965 -
June 14, 2012
Mark Jensen lost his battle with cancer and started his next journey on June 14, 2012. Mark was met by his parents George and Beverly Jensen. Mark was born in Tracy, CA, settled in Modesto, was raised working on the family egg ranch and attended Davis High School. He became a master carpenter and had the skills to build anything with the philosophy "it has to hold a can of pennies." Anyone that knew Mark knew and loved his laugh and knew how much he loved his dogs. He was a gentle, kind hearted man that loved his family very much. RV'ing was his passion and loved exploring new places with his family and meeting new people. How do you say goodbye to someone you love so much? There are no words that can express how much he will be missed.
Mark is survived by his wife and best friend, Janet Jensen, children David Harleman and wife Sherrie of Ripon, Dawn Harleman of Modesto and his four legged son Beau, grandchildren Kain Harleman, Jesse Hamrick and Jason Van Horn.
A celebration of Mark's life will be held July 7, 2012 at the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church, 2766 N. Dakota Rd., Modesto @ 11:00 am.
We can't thank Hospice House and their staff enough for their love, support and professionalism in making Mark's last days with us as comfortable as possible. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Mark's name to Community Hospice, 4368 Spyres Way, Modesto CA. 95356.

Your laugh made me smile, no matter what. All the trips to the cabin (and hearing all your sleeping conversations!), catching cows, being chased by Mr. Mooster and the geese... good times! Miss you Mark!
