In Loving Memory

Steve Edward Jensen, age 68, passed away April 29th, 2021 at St Thomas Rutherford Hospital. He was a native of New Jersey, married in Ann Arbor Michigan, and lived in Rutherford County the past 30 years. Steve has impacted many people in his community through his life, his ministry, and through his business. Steve started Jensen Quality Homes with his wife Shirley and his son Chris continues it forward. He took pride in building not only houses, but homes.

Steve's life displayed his faith in his Lord Jesus Christ and as a man believing in actions over words he walked this faith by holding the following priorities: First, devotion to sharing the love of his Savior; Second, his deep love for his family; Third, service and fellowship with the men in his discipleship; and finally outreach and service to those most hurting in his community. He will be deeply missed yet will live on through many.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel Edward Jensen and Lois Eubank Jensen; and wife, Shirley Ann Thomas Jensen. He is survived by his sons Jeffrey (Anady) Jensen, Chris (Christa) Jensen, Isaiah (Amanda) Jensen, Joshua (Haley) Jensen, Jonathan (Brooke) Jensen; daughters Marybeth Jensen, Rebecca Jensen; sister, Gail Farley; and five grandchildren.
