David Jenson, was sitting at the Bluebird one day when I stopped with some of my family for lunch, after figuring out who each other was, he got my address and sent tickets for my family to attend The Fiddler on the Roof that he was in that was playing at the Capital, I went, and WOW what a wonderful voice and preformance, I was saddened to hear of his passing, what a talent and fun friend in High School, I hope some of you got to see his talent before his passing.
David Lamont Jensen, a familiar face in Utah theater circles, has died. He was 50.

"He was an agent's dream," says Susie McCarty, who represented David for the past 15 years. "He had a remarkable success rate and always came back with the job. That says a lot about his skills as an actor and his sensitivity and diversity in his work. It's a great loss to the acting community."
