Obituary of Harold Lee Jensen
“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave
footprints in your heart.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
Beloved Husband, Father, and Friend, Harold Lee Jensen, 62, of Post Falls Idaho, passed away on
November 16th, 2019. Harold was born on February 20th 1957 in Santa Maria, California; the son of Carl
and Shirley (Douglas) Jensen.
Harold left Santa Maria in 1992 for God’s Country in Post Falls, Idaho. He continued his trade of
being an appliance tech in the area, fixing machines, helping people, and building long-lasting friendships
in the process, learning that machines are much easier to troubleshoot and fix than people.
Harold had faith that grew more inspired with the helping hands of Tad Rolls and his family.
Harold attended services at Real Life Ministries, and although a quite figure in the church community was
never one to let another person down and be a saving grace in time of need.
Harold spent his free time in his shop doing what he loved and enjoyed to do the most, tinkering.
Ask anyone where he was and you could expect to hear that he was out working on an appliance or
vehicle, busted or not, especially his VW bug. Harold was known for having the knowledge and tools to
fix just about anything, had the patience only God would understand, to do it right the first time. He
would never offer a repair back to anyone if he thought there was a chance of failure, and never did he
charge a full price for his time and expertise. This is just the caliber of the man he was.
This world is far off worse without him. Above all Harold was a quite person who expressed his
love in his time he spent doing things in order to make sure you had running vehicles, and a warm house,
food, and clean water.
Harold was an easy man to like and love with too many friends to list but Milli and Moe were
some of his newest friends, a couple of yellow labs who followed him around everywhere and gave us
early warning signs to his failing health.
He is now survived by his crazy, chaotic, loud, still growing, and loving family, his loving partner
in life, Crystal Jensen of Post Falls, ID; his daughter and son-in-Law; Jeanna Rush-Babcock and Quentin
Babcock of Billings, MT; his daughter, Bridget Jensen of Post Falls, ID; his daughter, Magen Jensen of
Spirit Lake, ID; his seven grandchildren: Tanner Rush, Shania Guy, Mason Babcock, Rylee Lotton,
Bentlee Jensen, Owen Babcock, Kason Foote, and the newest addition not yet arrived: Baby Foote joining
us in July of 2020. Harold was preceded in death by, Grandma and Grandpa Jensen, Grandma and
Grandpa Douglas; his father, Carl Jensen Sr.; his mother, Shirley Lee; his step-father, Jim Lee; his
brothers, Carl Jensen Jr., Raymond Jensen, and Jimmy Jensen; Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Earl.
