It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of John Christian Jensen, Jr. Known as Chris by family and friends, he was born on June 11,1958 in New York City and lost his battle to leukemia on October 26th, at the age of 68. He was a fighter and lived a life full of passion and dedication.

Chris was preceded in death by his beloved wife Marilyn of 30 years, who passed away in 2011. He leaves behind his daughter, Meagan, and his brother Steve, along with all those whose lives he touched throughout the years.

A graduate of Mount Union College, where he also played football, Chris carried his love of sports throughout his life. After retiring from the Cavaliers, he continued his love of sports by pouring it into his work at Valleaire Golf Club, where he worked part-time. Through golf, he continued to forge many memories and friendships in his later years.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those who knew and loved him.
