Eric Jensen, package handler and driver for UPS, passed in Mesa, Arizona on September 2nd, 2016.
Eric is survived by his loving wife, Andrea; his mother Donna Allender; His father and step-mother David and Debbie Jensen; sisters Kristy (Aaron) Clark and Deann Jensen; brother Darren Jensen, step-children Julien and Maddie Heinzel; and many other beloved family members.
Eric was born in Phoenix, Arizona on December 22nd, 1970. He graduated from Paradise Valley High School in 1988. Eric moved to Mesa, Arizona shortly after graduation and began his 27 year career with UPS. Eric was highly loved by his customers; several of whom he got to know over the years.
Eric enjoyed many things. He was an avid Jeeper in his 20's and loved to weld and woodwork. His home boasts many of his own personal upgrades and designs. Eric also had a great passion for dogs. Over the years he was an owner to countless different breeds of all shapes and sizes. He often carried treats in his UPS truck to give out to the pets of owners who he delivered to. He loved super hero action movies and could often be found on his days off enjoying one of many in his Blu-ray collection.
Eric was a fun-loving joker who found humor in many things and had the knack for making others laugh. He was sincere and kind-hearted and never met a stranger. He will be highly missed by all that knew and loved him. Our world will be less full of life and love without him.
A Memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM Friday, September 9, 2016 at Hansen Chapel, 8314 N. 7th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85020.

"I will miss you Eric, my heart is very sad that you are no longer with us. My earliest memories in life are filled with you and I will cherish those memories forever. I will always remember how kind and generous you were with your family and the fun we had as kids. I remember when you had your first paper route and you saved all of your money to buy everyone in the family a Christmas present. You could have blown it all on video games like most kids, but that was not who you were. We were 10 and 11 and remember being so impressed and amazed by your generosity at that age. I am sorry we did not stay as close as we became adults, but I could always count on a good laugh looking at your FB posts, I will miss your hilarious sense of humor. I will miss my cousin. My heart breaks for Aunt Donna, Uncle David, Kristy and Andrea. Eric, I hope you have found peace. You are loved, you will be missed more than you could know. I will save all the green m&m's for you."
