DUNCAN ALAN JENSEN
December 22, 1956 November 11, 2018
Duncan Alan Jensen, born in Seneca Falls, NY, died in Denver, Colorado. Duncan had relocated to Colorado Springs since leaving New York to attend the University of Southern Colorado on a full basketball scholarship. While a student at Mynderse Academy in Seneca Falls, Duncan played basketball with the two teams which won both the 1975 and 1976 AA Section Five championships. He went on to attend Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, Class of 1979. Duncan and his team had set 7 college records at FLCC. He was the first at FLCC to be All-conference and held the highest foul shooting percentage in the region. He was ranked third at FLCC in all-time college scoring and inducted into the FLCC Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001.

Basketball aside, he was by far more proud of his son, Christopher. Duncan was a gentleman who embraced a true free-spirited Colorado lifestyle that included raising a son, bicycling, his love of music, sports and was well-known as a devoted Yankee fan.
He was a marketing/merchandising specialist for Coors where he especially enjoyed hosting from the Coors promo RV at Air Force Academy football games.
Duncan was predeceased by his parents, Sadie "Scotty" and Andrew Jensen of Seneca Falls and brother, Stephen Jensen. He is survived by a son, Christopher Jensen of Denver, Colorado; four sisters; June (Jim) Woods of Glens Falls, Sharon Behnke of the Bronx, Catherine Fisher of Seneca Falls and Rebecca Jensen of Union City, Michigan; and brother, Stewart (Lois) Jensen of Waterloo; and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held in NY next summer.

To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40
