Arnold Joseph Jensen

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Arnold ‘Arnie’ Joseph Jensen, affectionately known as Little Bro or Cowboy, on June 17, 2024. Arnie was a beacon of kindness and generosity, a gentle soul whose compassion knew no bounds. His willingness to help others was as natural to him as breathing, often going as far as giving the shirt off his back to someone in need. Arnie’s love for his family and dear friends was immeasurable. He cherished every moment spent with them, Arnie was predeceased by his loving parents, Howard and Cindy Jensen, and his brother, Robert Jensen. His passion for NASCAR racing and building classic models was a joy that he shared generously. His radiant smile was a source of light and warmth, capable of brightening even the darkest of rooms. He lived each day with zest and an unwavering commitment to making the most of every moment. Arnie’s early years were spent at Cloverly Elementary and Sutherland School, where he formed lasting friendships and memories. Arnie’s work ethic was unparalleled. He dedicated many years to Oasis Car Wash, Sanderson Concrete, Landrock Construction Drainage with P. Murray Contractors, and Trinetti Construction, where his hard work and dedication were evident to all who knew him. Arnie’s departure leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him. We take solace in the memories and the legacy of love and kindness he leaves behind. He is lovingly remembered by his brother, Howard Danny Jensen, and his sister, Denise Jensen and special brothers Richard Ellison, Richard Sherwood, Larry Lynn and Darren Moffitt.Family would like everyone to know friends and family are invited to share stories and honor the memory of a man who lived life to the fullest.
