rley rider his entire life. He enjoyed rock n roll, all sports, and had a love/hate relationship with the Minnesota Vikings. He was a lifetime member of the VFW in Sibley, IA. Always the consummate salesman, Butch enjoyed the thrill of being on either side of a good deal. He was passionate about all things with four wheels, he loved fishing, he enjoyed cooking (and of course eating) good food, and was a collector of firearms. Butch could always be counted on for good conversation and had many friends, but his best buddy may have been his chocolate lab, Buster. Butch is survived by his wife, Joyce; his daughter, Kirstin and son-in-law, Steve LeClaire of Tempe, AZ; his son, Michael and daughter-in-law, Alicia of Soldotna, AK; three grandchildren, Chloe and Christian LeClaire and Gunnar Jensen. Butch is also survived by two brothers and their spouses, David and Charlotte Jensen and Chuck and Donna Jensen; Joyce's siblings and their spouses, Lowell and Janet Madsen, Lois and Clyde Allen, Helen and Ronnie Stenzel, Eunice and LaReau Carlson, and Meli and Larry Doyle; as well as many nieces and nephews. Butch was preceded in death by his parents; and infant son, Stephen. Butch lived life fully. He loved God and his family. The room is quieter and there is a hole in our hearts now that Butch has gone to be with the Father. He blessed our lives and will never be forgotten. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 A.M.
