Warner William Jensen
Warner William Jensen, 70, passed away
suddenly and much unexpected Oct. 31, 2011 in Kalispell from a
massive brain hemorrhage.
He was born March 7, 1941 in Great
Falls to David Jensen and Wilma Warner, the second of two sons.
Warner served in the U.S. Army from 1959-1962 as an electronics
specialist and was honorably discharged. He then attended the
University of Salt Lake with a major in the sciences.
Warner, or “Dub Dub” as he was
affectionately known, held many, many jobs throughout his life,
including owning a bar, training dogs for field trails, river
rafting guide, woodworking and performing various maintenance
tasks. He was a jack-of-all- trades and master of many, doing
beautiful woodwork and extensively remodeling his home. He met his
wife Jerri in 1994 and they were married in 1997. This was his
first and only marriage.
Warner was exceedingly proud of the
family he “inherited” when marrying Jerri, and took great delight
in his little granddaughters. Family was very important to him, as
was his Catholic faith. He was always ready to lend a helping hand
to anyone who needed it. He loved travel, good food and wine,
taking long walks with Boone, and getting together with family.
Warner had a quirky sense of humor, was quick with a laugh, and
loved telling stories from his colorful past.
He was preceded in death by his father,
David and his nephew, Craig Jensen. He is survived by his wife,
Jerri at their home in Whitefish; stepdaughter, Anne Armstrong and
her husband Jason; twin granddaughters, Malia and Jaela; mother,
Wilma Jensen; brother, Hank Jensen and his wife Judy; nephew, Scott
Jensen and his wife Linda, their twins Eric and Caitlin; niece,
Lisa King and her husband Frank, their children Cassandra and
Frankie; “grand puppy” Boone, and many, many friends.
Dub Dub, we made a good life together,
however short it was. You took good care of me and made my life
much easier. You were a good man and will be sorely missed.
Cremation has taken place, and no
services are pending at this time per his wishes. There may be a
memorial service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions
may be made to North Valley Hospital Foundation in Whitefish in
Warner’s name. He would enjoy looking down on all of us, have us
raise a glass in a toast to his memory, and be happy that he is in
a better place.
