Many of you here knew Jack Jensen. His daughter Kayla provided the following information for me to share:
“Jack Jensen, beloved father and friend, passed away in his Glenwood home on April 22, 2025. Jack leaves behind his daughters Kayla Jensen and Alexis Marshall, siblings Mike and Judy Jensen, and his grandchildren. He moved to Glenwood in 2004 after living in Portland, where he was born and raised.
“Jack retired from Portland Public Schools after 30 years and decided to live out his dream as a ‘woodman.’ He was loved by many and is deeply missed. We have yet to set a date for a service for Jack, but will provide an update soon for those who would like to attend.”
I would like to add to Kayla’s tribute, our deepest condolences go to her, her children, her sister, and her aunt and uncle.

Peyton Sanchey is soaring again in high school rodeo for the final half of her senior year of competing on the high school level. The weekend of April 25, she traveled to Othello, where she won the barrels on Saturday, placed second on Sunday, and won the average. She recently competed in Grand Coulee and I’ll share results when I receive them. Way to go, Peyton.
