Rodell "Buddy" Norman Jenson passed away on June 5, 2017, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Rod was born in Santa Monica, California, on September 5, 1949, to Darlene (Watterson) and Rodell Jenson Sr. and grew up with five sisters and his brother in Malibu. Rod had a generous heart and gave even when he didnt have much. He was always willing to lend a hand to those in need and saw the best in people. His smile was contagious. He loved being with his family, playing golf, telling stories and making people laugh. But anyone who knew him knows he was most proud of his three children, who miss him tremendously. While his family and friends dont think his 67 years on this Earth was nearly long enough, he lived his life making sure the ones he loved knew how loved they were. We love you too, Dad! Rod is survived by his three children Joshua Jenson (Jennifer) of Edmond, Anna Brooks (Reid) of Tulsa and Amy Hinchey (Stephen) also of Tulsa; his three grandchildren Chloe, Cooper and Brady; his seven sisters Linda McGann (Jack), Bonnie Haleen, Millie Hannaman (Doug), Anita Brown (Paul), Julie Hart, Johanna Wihlm (Jason) and Jennifer Jenson (Jason); his step-mother Lois Jenson and several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He is preceded in death by his mother, Darlene Watterson; his father, Rodell Jenson Sr. and his brother, Paul Jenson.
