my brother joshua...

as many of you already know, my younger brother joshua, passed away april 11th at the age of 33. this was very unexpected. he had not been feeling well for a couple of weeks, visited the doctor, received an antibiotic and was sent on his way. he continued to not feel well, and finally went to the emergency room where he had a heart attack. they were able to shock him and get his heart back to a normal rhythm, but for some reason he continued to decline, and eventually his heart gave out and he could not be revived. so many unanswered questions.

he left behind two beautiful daughters (ages 4 &6), 3 brothers, 2 sisters, and his mother and father. he is missed greatly.

josh was such a wonderful kid (since he is younger than me, i always think of him as a kid:)) he had a big heart. he loved everyone, and everyone loved him. he was a devoted father, brother, son, and friend. although, he loved to argue, and could drive you crazy with this, you couldn't help but laugh and love him for it anyway! he received his bs in finance, and managed a bank in sacramento.
when i think of josh, i think of star wars, super heroes, and math! it is because of him that i absolutely love star wars and super heroes (these are always my movies of choice.)

josh loved to dress up as star wars characters, super heroes, and a business man. josh loved to wear a tie and carry a briefcase and calculator. these are the images that go through my mind when i think of him.

josh loved his girls, in fact josh loved all kids. as we sat back and looked through the pictures of him, we noticed that they almost always consisted of him playing or holding kids. the nieces and nephews love him. we all love him!

here are just a few pictures of my wonderful brother joshua michael jensen!














i wish i could share some of the photos flying around on fb...i just don't have them yet:)
i just want to thank everyone for their kind words, acts of kindness, and love. it is all very much appreciated.
