My condolences to the entire family.. I happened to stumble across this devastating news. I remember the family when they dinned at Redlands Dos and through Earl, Luke and Holli.

I wish I could have known David better.  We shared a love of beautiful pens, Colorado and our Jenkel heritage.  God bless him and be with you all.

I met David on his recent trip to Lake Chapala Mexico.  Due to my faulty hearing during introductions, I called him Sundance.  I did not know him for long, but my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends.

I never met Dave face to face. We spoke on the phone mostly after his retirement. That man knew mining and was always willing to share that knowledge when I called on him.  Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

I had the luck to work with Dave 3 years ago.
His knowledge and his friendly collegial kind have impressed me very deep.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memorize to forever hold in your hearts.

Dave always sat behind me in high school because we mostly sat in alphabetical order. I came to know Dave really well. He was a great guy back then also. Kellie and family you have my deepest sympathy. May God comfort all if you during this time of loss of a good husband, father, and grandpa.

I have fond memories of Uncle David being a kind man who loved his family very much.  Praying for you all - Aunt Kelli, Lucas, Earl, and Holli

Lit a candle in memory of David Allan JENKEL

Dave and I were co-workers.  I live and work near the Appalachian  Mountains of SW Virginia so we didn't see each other often.  We communicated mostly via phone and emails.  As he traveled from mine to mine he would send me a picture of the snow, a plant or just the beautiful mountains. I always appreciated him sharing them with me.
While working at DSI Underground, he was my go to.  He could answer any questions
I had about mining.  He will be a sweet memory.

Dave was the most positive man I've known. No matter what the weather or situation he ended on a positive note. I'll never forget the very first thing he spoke to me. ""You need to meet my wife, she's the nicest person you will ever meet."" I've always remembered this because, how many guys when introducing themselves just talk about their wife? He loved his family dearly and I pray they feel surrounded by love during this difficult time. 
Rich,my husband, was always so jealous of him taking advantage of riding even in cold weather. He squeezed in as many rides he could and didn't come up with silly excuses like ""It's too cold"". He was young again when he rode. Richard and Cynthia-neighbors.

My sincere condolences. Dave was a true mentor, I will always remember his collegial spirit and our profound discussions - both in private and professional. May he rest in peace!

SOOO SORRY FOR THE  FAMILY AND WILL BE SENDING PRAYERS !!!!!! R.I.P.DAVE !!!!!!

You have left a lot of us behind and hopefully for a better place. Till we can get together for another coffee. RI my friend

Tim and I got to visit Kelli and Dave when we stopped through grand junction last year . It was a joy to see them and one of their granddaughters . Dave shared some stories and we could tell how they loved Colorado and their kids being in the same area . We send our condolences

Dave, just saw you at SME last year, and enjoyed sharing your retirement on FB. Thanks so much for you sending me the old mining stickers. Had a lot of good times during your sales visits in Green River, WY and working with you at the mine. Class act and gem of a guy. RIP!! Sympathy to the wonderful family. Chris Pritchard, Spokane, WA

So sorry.  David was a nice classmate, and it sounds like he has had a good life. My sympathy to his family.

The Jenkel family became our IL neighbors years ago. Our girls became best friends. We moms and daughters vacationed together for many years. The last few years our husbands joined us. We have explored the beauty of CO with Dave as our guide. Always ready to share his knowledge, with many laughs along the way. Dave stopped by a few weeks ago. As we reminisced he commented on summer projects (Kelli's 4 door potting shed) and motorcycle riding the mountains of CO. Dave, Kelli, Holli, Earl, and Luke will forever be our neighbors. Our lives are brighter from knowing this wise and kind man.

I worked with Dave at the Camp mines in Wesern Kentucky. He was a good friend and was in general a very nice man. 

My wife Jamye, worked with Dave and Kelly in buying and selling their home here in Newburgh, Indiana. 

Our thoughts go out the family.

David was a high school classmate of mine.  For many years, other than class reunions, I did not stay in touch with David, and I consider it my loss.  But through Facebook, I loved reading his posts and his pictures. He truly was a wonderful person.  My sympathy to the family.  You are in my prayers.  Angie Bruns
