Joshua James Jensen, age 23, of Vancouver, Washington passed away on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Josh had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and bravely endured many challenges throughout his life, but he was not defined by his diagnosis. He was a brilliant and witty young man: a true conversationalist, critical thinker, and loving individual. His brash sense of humor always caught you off guard and kept you in anticipation of what he would say next.
In his blessed life, Josh was able to go on a “Make -A- Wish” trip to see the premiere of the movie “Transformers” in Los Angeles and had fifteen minutes of fame as an extra in the movie “Extraordinary Measures” with Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser. He loved politics, video games, movies, current events, all kinds of animals, watching YouTube videos, and most of all, he loved having long discussions about everything from black holes to superheroes. His inquisitive and creative mind allowed him to go all the places his body couldn’t.
He is survived by his mother and father, Jerry and Heather Jensen, and brother, Luke of Vancouver, Washington, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends and caregivers. He will be greatly missed by all those who loved and adored him.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, July 28, 2024, 2:00pm at Mt. View High School in Vancouver, Washington.
Donations can be made to https://www.gofundme.com/f/send-josh-to-space so that Josh’s remains can be sent into space where he will orbit the Earth for decades and then return to the atmosphere, vaporizing like a shooting star.
A graveside service for Joshua will be held Monday, July 29, 2024 from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM at Finley Sunset Hills Mortuary, 6801 SW SUNSET HWY, PORTLAND, OR 97225.
