Curtis Lee Jensen

Curtis Lee Jensen, 56, of Milltown, Wisconsin passed away on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at the University of Minnesota Medical Center.  Curt was born on September 30, 1958 in Stillwater, Minnesota       the son of Ronnie and Marlene (Buberl) Jensen.

Curt attended Unity High School and graduated in 1976. In 1986 he married Allison (Route) Jensen and in 1987 his daughter Jodi (Jensen) Reed was born. When Curt decided to become a bus driver for Unity, no one thought he would last 2 weeks, let alone 20+ years. Curt not only drove bus but was involved with all aspects of grounds keeping, became the Bus Garage Supervisor and maintained all transportation for the Unity School District. He was proud of each of these roles and held everyone and everything involving Unity School close to his heart, especially the kids on bus #16. Outside of work, Curt enjoyed horseshoes, fishing and deer hunting. Most of all, the highlight of his week was golfing with his closest friends (this could also be the most dangerous part of the week as well – beware of flying golf clubs if the round wasn’t going well!). Curt was proud of his daughter’s accomplishments and loved his family most of all. We know he will continue to watch his family grow from Heaven above.

Curt leaves to celebrate his memory:  his wife, Allison Jensen, Milltown, WI; daughter, Jodi (Zachary) Reed, Siren, WI; brothers, James Jensen, Milltown, WI and Terry Jensen, Milltown, WI, many nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins and other loving family and friends.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Marlene and Ronnie Jensen, brother, Jesse and his sister Jean Louise in infancy, mother-in-law, Nora Route and his grandmother, Dorothy Buberl.

The funeral service for Curt was held on Monday, February 16, 2015 at 11:00 A.M. at the Milltown Lutheran Church.  He was be laid to rest at St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Centuria following the service.

The Kolstad Family Funeral Home of Centuria has been entrusted with arrangements.
