He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend who accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. Jens enjoyed laughing and making jokes, and was always cheering on his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys. He loved when they won, and you could hear him from a mile away when they lost.
He enjoyed playing pool for many years at the Sherwood Rec Center and was once titled #2 in the nation in QB1. In his spare time, you could also find him visiting flea markets with his longtime friend Ron.
Jens ran a successful lawn care and landscaping business and was a hard worker. He was very kind and compassionate, and he loved the opportunity to spoil and spend time with any animal he came across.
Jens is preceded in death by his grandparents, Oscar Espejo, Guillermo and Bertha Espejo from Florida, Karl and Theresa Gonnemann from Germany, and aunt, Heidi Erban from Germany.
He is survived by his parents, Javier and Christel Espejo; siblings and in-laws, Susanne Espejo Martin, Patrick and Kim Espejo, Pancho and Lynn Espejo; aunt, Gabriella Porter (Fritz); cousins Dawn Dally and Oscar David Espejo (Mary); and many nieces and nephews, Amanda, Alissa, Christin, Austin and Carly, Ryan, Joseph, Ally, JT, and Timothy.
A memorial gathering for Jens will be held Wednesday, July 19, 2023, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Griffin Leggett Rest Hills Funeral Home, 7724 Landers Rd, North Little Rock, AR. A private family burial will be held at Rest Hills Memorial Park.
