Dylan Michael Jenson
August 5, 2003-July 16, 2017
Dylan Michael Jenson,
13, Norwich, died Sun-
day, July 16, 2017 in a
Minot hospital.
Dylan was born August
5, 2003, in Grand Forks,
ND to Kendra Thom and
Kenneth Jenson. He be-
gan his education at Ben
Franklin Elementary
School in Grand Forks.
Dylan continued his ele-
mentary education in Vel-
va, ND and currently was
going to Dakota Memorial
School in Minot, where
he was gearing up to enter
his freshman year of high
school.
Dylan fit a lifetime of
memories with his family
into his thirteen years.
Grandparents Camp at
Lake Metigoshe cultivated
his deep faith and love for
God. Dylan loved to help
everyone, no matter the
task. He was an assistant
soundman at Oak Valley
Lutheran Church in Velva
and the number one
helper on the farm. He
loved the tasks of taking
samples and reading
gauges, but if the task in-
volved driving, Dylan was
certainly your man. At
age seven, his legs grew
long enough for his feet to
hit the pedals and in the
grain cart he went operat-ing it with ease. He ad-
ded drone operating and
semi driving to his list of
driving abilities last year
too.
His pellet gun was nev-
er too far out of reach,
mastering the art of shoot-
ing with his father and
stepfather. He managed
to tag his first deer last
year during the youth sea-
son. His collection of
NERF guns and ammo
was second to none. He
was known to send a
warning shot past his
mother as she entered the
room. He shared a pas-
sion for racing with his
family, enjoying the
World of Outlaws when
they came to town and al-
ways managed to take the
go-cart for a spin. He
loved to golf and was a
member of the Chess
Club, although his
toughest competition was
his friend, Travis and of
course his mom. Ski trips
to Big Sky, Montana or
NDSU football games
may have been number
one on his list of favorite
things he enjoyed with his
family or maybe it was his
love of Freal
shakesÃ-mint flavored, of
course, from the service
station.
Dylan was an enter-
tainer. He dazzled many
with his magic shows and
was known to share a few
jokes. Dylan loved the
fourth of July and as a
member of the MUM Py-
rotechnics team based out
of Sawyer, ND he assisted
in the construction of
many shells for all to en-
joy on the holiday. He
loved to build, fix and
tinker but one of his most
amazing talents was his
ability to bring his family
together.
Dylan’s love of music
was immeasurable. He
loved to sing every chance
he was given in the car or
as a member of his church
group ‘Sonrise.’ He will be
forever missed to all who
knew him as a son, grand-
son, brother, nephew,
cousin and friend but will
forever be the music of
our hearts cherished with
the many memories we
will have forever.
