Clint Jensen

Clint Douglas Jensen was born March 24, 1977, in Newton, Iowa: the son of Doug and Sherry (Martin) Jensen. “Roy”, as referred to by family and friends, was the 2nd oldest of 4. He graduated from Newton High School in 1995, and continued his education for many, many, many semesters attending NIACC, Lindenwood University, Hawkeye Community College and graduated from UNI in 2002 with a degree in Construction Management. You see it wasn’t a race, but about living every facet: it was about playing football, working construction jobs, and living life to its fullest.

Clint was the epitome of “The Dash”, those who knew and loved him know the value of that dash between the dates. He brought his all to everything he touched! His wife Amy, their girls Taya & Haylen, the entire Jensen and Zimmerman families, his long list of friends and coworkers, knew that Clint was the most loving husband, father, sibling, son, and son-in-law a family could ask for. He shared this same love with his community of friends, neighbors, associates, and acquaintances. He fully enjoyed what he did and (most) of those he met in his life.

Clint followed his “live life to its fullest” philosophy throughout his life while bringing endless joy and laughter to everything he touched, you can see his personality in his smile. He loved spending time with his family, coaching his girl’s teams, spending time on the water, watching sports, farming, hunting, attending sprint car racing, playing pitch, catching up with friends and family and that occasional adult beverage!

Clint had a strong work ethic and pursued his construction career beginning at Farver Construction through his most recent with Story Construction as Project Manager since 2013. He loved seeing those projects being utilized and enjoyed in the community.
Clint and Amy Zimmerman met in 1999, they were married May 24, 2003, and looked forward to a long and happy life together. They welcomed twin daughters in 2009.

Clint is survived by his wife Amy, daughters Taya and Haylen. His parents Doug and Sherry Jensen of Newton, siblings Jason (Julie) of Ankeny, Brent (Ashley) of Newton, and Courtney Strike (Jarid) of Bondurant. In-laws Dick & Kim Zimmerman of Cedar Falls, Brother-in Law Kelly (Zimmerman) (Amy) of Bettendorf along with nieces Kayla & Carlie Jensen, Makayda Jensen, and Nora Zimmerman and nephews Colt Jensen, Caiden & Calen Strike, and Samuel Zimmerman as well as extended family, friends, and coworkers.
