David was born on Oct. 13, 1948 to Jens & Doris Jensen. He grew up in Milner and started his work career at a very early age, helping out in the family business at Milner Garage. He worked at various jobs before settling into the fencing business, Progressive Fence Installations Ltd. He attended school in Milner and 91原创 High School (LSS) where he met and maintained many lifelong friendships. David was a very kind, loving and generous person. He loved life and was always willing to give of himself without expecting anything in return. He loved his family and always looked forward to a day around the pool or watching a game of ball hockey. He loved to holiday with the grandchildren and to spend time at the lake with the whole family. He loved the stories around the fire pit. He wanted to pass on the joy and love of life he felt and the importance of hard work.
David had a passion for hot rods which he shared with his son Doug and many friends. Drags in Mission or the Cruise In of 91原创. Over the years David was active in snow and water skiing, racketball, squash, bowling, fishing and lastly golf. The Golf Course in Cabo San Lucas became his love. The sun shining on his smiling face and surrounded by his loving friends. Never to be forgotten, always in our hearts and loved by all....
