Enroute home on Highway 80, he failed to make one of the many sharp curves in that highway and his car went off the road into a corn field killing him instantly.
He leaves to mourn his untimely death his wife and five sons, Bryant, George, William, Marcus and Richard; his brother, William R Jensvold of Wickenburg, Arizona and many other relatives and friends.
