Obituary: Bruce H. Jensen

Bruce H. Jensen 1953 ~ 2005 Bruce H. Jensen, age 52, passed away December 13, 2005. He was born on July 20, 1953 to Harold M. and Faye W. Jensen in Logan, Utah. Bruce graduated from Logan High School in 1971. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Korea from 1972 to 1974. He was a loyal Aggie and active in the Sigma Chi Fraternity while attending Utah State University, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1976. He graduated from the J. Reuben Clark School of Law in 1979. After completing his legal education and being admitted to the Utah State Bar, Bruce joined the firm of Snow, Christensen & Martineau in Salt Lake City where he eventually focused his law practice on the representation of healthcare professionals in medical malpractice cases. In 1991, he was a founding member of the firm of Williams & Hunt where he continued his law practice until his death. Bruce was the consummate professional, meticulous and thorough in his preparation; articulate and persuasive in both written and oral presentations; sharing generously of his talents and experience as a mentor to younger lawyers; and, perhaps most impressively, a model of civility, treating everyone he encountered with dignity and respect. He was fittingly recognized by his peers as one of the best lawyers in America. Among his many interests and reflective of his passion for life, Bruce was an avid golfer, honing his youthful skills at the Logan Golf & Country Club, representing both Logan High School and Utah State University on their respective golf teams and continuing his love for the sport more recently as a member of the Willow Creek Country Club, serving as a board member and president. Bruce is survived by his mother Faye W. Jensen, his brother S. Wayne Jensen, D.D.S., sister-in-law Laurel G. Jensen, nephews Bryant Jensen and Garrett Jensen, niece Camille Jensen and Godsons Kenzo Okazaki and Bauer Anderson.
