Jake Tyler Jensen was born on July 7, 1991, in Cresco, Iowa, the son of Eric and Monica (Owen) Jensen. Jake was an active, strong young man who liked being outdoors. He spent his time shooting clays and deer and coon hunting, with his friend, Cole and cousin, Grant. He also spent time riding his bike, snowmobiling and going for walks with his dog, Elle. He enjoyed baling hay in the summer, caring for the farm animals and all aspects of farm life. He also liked helping his Grandpa Bill with his cousin, Christopher. 
Jake had a passion for driving truck, which stemmed from riding over the road with his dad. He liked working with his hands, tinkering with and building things. He was thought of as the “spark plug” of the group with his quick wit and contagious smile and laugh. He had the ability to hold a conversation with anyone and always made time to stop for Dairy Queen ice cream. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
Jake is survived by his parents, Eric and Monica Jensen of Riceville; sister, Brooke (Levi) Sprung of Osage, Iowa; brother, Jesse Jensen of Riceville; paternal grandmother, Lucille Jensen of Riceville; maternal grandparents, Bill and Karen Owen of Riceville; and numerous uncles, aunts and cousins.
Jake was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Donald Jensen.
