November 10, 1955 ~ December 9, 2014

Paul M. Jensen was born Nov. 10, 1955, in Omaha, to Ronald and Gloria (Thompson) Jensen. He was one of six brothers raised on the family farm.

He attended March school and later graduated from Blair High School.

On March 20, 1993, he was united in marriage to Shelly Siggins in Blair. They were blessed with a son, Josh, and a daughter, Jennifer.

He was employed with Huntel for 20 years and later with Brakken Trucking. He also worked as an auctioneer's assistant for Jensen Brothers Auctioneers for more than 20 years.

Paul was a genuine and talented handyman. He could repair nearly anything to work like new. He enjoyed working on and riding motorcycles, jeeps and snowmobiles, and taking road trips with his friends. He especially enjoyed his annual trip to Yankton with his brothers, a trip they have been taking since 1986. There are countless memories and stories that will continue to be shared between Paul's family and friends for many years.

When I got the news today
I didn't know what to say.
So I just hung up the phone.

I took a walk to clear my head,
This is where the walking led
Can't believe you're really gone
Don't feel like going home

So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer

Funny how the good ones go
Too soon, but the good Lord knows
The reasons why, I guess

Sometimes the greater plan
Is kinda hard to understand
Right now it don't make sense
I can't make it all make sense

So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer

So long my friend
Until we meet again
I'll remember you
And all the times that we used to...

... sit right here on the edge of this pier
And watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
Drink a beer,
Drink a beer.
Yeah
