Derek Jensen

May 28, 1991 — October 14, 2012

Derek A. Jensen, 21, of Walkersville, Maryland, departed this life on October 14, 2012.  He is survived by his parents, Michael and April Jensen, his sister, Chantel Jensen, grandmothers Jean Wynn and Helen Jensen, grandfather Albert Jensen, aunts Pat, Belinda, Betty Jane, Nancy, Rosemary, Peggy, and Dawn, uncles Albert, Bill, Tom, Alan, and Jim, numerous cousins, best friends Thomas, Tarah, and many other friends.

Derek lived in Walkersville all his life. He worked at the family’s Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop in downtown Frederick. Derek played youth baseball, basketball, and soccer, and for a time was proficient at skateboarding. He spent many hours gaming on his Xbox and Playstation machines, (his favorite Call of Duty), enjoyed watching Pittsburgh Steeler football with his mom, and just hanging out with his dear friends. Derek loved his annual treks to Long island, New York for fishing, swimming in the bay and ocean, playing badminton, whiffleball, board games, and visiting with his extended family. Derek loved to make people laugh. He showed compassion towards animals and others less fortunate. He would always share what he could. He will be dearly missed. He will be forever loved.
