Gary E. Jensen

Gary E. Jensen, 64, of Millville passed away Thursday, March 14th, 2024, at his home after a brief period of illness. 
  
 Gary was born in Wilmington, Delaware, but lived in Millville, New Jersey, his whole life.  Shortly after graduating from Millville Senior High School, Gary served his country in 3 branches of the military (US Air Force, US Navy and US Army).  Gary worked as an Event and Freight specialist for Atlantic Exposition Services.  He was well known, in multiple states, as being the best at what he did.  Gary loved working with his friends Tim and Chris.  They were the three guys everyone wanted to work with and were the definition of a trifecta.

  Gary was a proud member of the Millville Elks Lodge.  Gary was also a regular at the OVT on Mays Landing Road.  He was known as “Jukebox Gary.”  Gary has had a love and passion for music since he was a young child.  Gary enjoyed drinking Coors Light and watching movies.  Gary could make anyone laugh with his incredible sense of humor.  Gary will forever be known as the man who would genuinely give a stranger the shirt off his back and never expect anything in return. 

  Gary is predeceased by his mother, Irene (nee Parrish); his father Richard Jensen; his brother David Jensen; his best friends Rick Moser and Jerry Robbins; and ex-wife Margaret Sandt.  Gary is survived by his daughters, Melissa Jensen and husband Tyler Bordley, and Amanda Jensen and fiancé Ken Wilson; his third daughter, Rachel Mangine; his grandchildren, Meadow, Cyrus and Kyro; and his bonus family, William Sandt.

  Gary will be remembered in a small celebration of life with his closest friends and family.
