Our grandson



Christian Jensen, infant son of Logan native Benjamin Paul ("BJ") Jensen and his wife, Marica Johanna Jensen of Jyvaskyla, Finland, was born on April 16, 2010 in Kuopio, Finland. Christian lived for a few brief but precious minutes and died in his father’s arms from respiratory failure due to premature birth.



He is survived by his parents; his twin sister Melinda Jensen; maternal grandparents Riitta and Reijo Rasanen; aunts Hanalee Valipakka and Anamarie Valipakka; and uncle Jani Valipakka, all of Jyvaskyla, Finland.

He is also survived by his paternal grandparents Miles and Janet Jensen of Logan, Utah; uncles Kevin Jensen (Dayton, Ohio), and Jeff Jensen (Austin, Texas).

Funeral and burial services will be held in Jyvaskyla, Finland.

Doctrine and Covenants 50: 41-44 Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given me; And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost. . . . Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am the good shepherd . . .

Janet, that is beautiful and sad but I like the reference at the end. I'm sure little Christian is in good hands.

I'm trying to imagine the reunion . . .

In a lighthearted moment the boys joked that Grandma Ann would be telling him all about baseball, especially Dale Murphy.

This is beautiful, Janet, a sweet, perfect tribute. Your family has another guardian angel.
