It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Burton Christopher Jensen. He was born on February 14, 1982 in Media, PA at Riddle Memorial Hospital. He passed away on June 14 at the age of 44.
Burton graduated from Conestoga High School and earned a B.S. in Psychology and an MBA from Drexel University.
He resided in West Chester, PA and worked for eight years as the managing director at Another Door Opens, a treatment facility in New Jersey.
Burton had such an amicable personality. He was gifted with the natural ability to engage with anyone, and had many friends. He loved sports and music but his greatest passion was for helping others in his vocation and personal life. His family meant everything to him. He loved the beach and especially Cape May, NJ where he spent many summers during his childhood. He loved dogs and leaves behind his most recent one, Buzbee.
Burton is preceded in death by his beloved brother, Andrew David “Dave” Jensen (1984-2005), grandparents and many aunts and uncles.
He is survived by his father and stepmother, George and Julie Jensen (Hazleton PA) and mother, Patricia Jill Smith (Downingtown PA). He will also be sadly missed by his brother, Ron (Hazleton PA) and stepsisters, Jenn Wallman (Andy) and niece Claire (Hazleton PA), Kelly Prokesch (Matt) and niece and nephew Lily and Brooks (Malvern PA).
A viewing will be held at Alleva Funeral Home in Paoli, PA on July 2nd from 9-11am for friends and family. It will be followed by a private burial at Arlington Cemetery in Drexel Hill.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Safe Harbor of Chester County (safeharborofgwc.org) and Act in Faith (actinfaithgwc.org).
