Kimball Earl Jensen, 62, of Desert Springs, AZ and Mesquite, died in his home on August 16, 2014.

Kimball was born to Earl and Carol Jensen in Fort Ord, CA on October 4, 1951. He married Brenda Lynn Jensen (Williams) on September 3, 1972. Together, they enjoyed a life of travel, children, and grandchildren.

As a small child, Kimball traveled extensively with his parents and first three sisters, Kristina, Judy, and Tamara. His family lived in Israel, Sacramento, CA, Washington D.C., and Ogden, UT. The family then moved to Mexico until he was a teen-ager. He attended the New Mexico Military Institute at Roswell, NM, before he set off again to explore the world and its skies. These early life adventures shaped his bold and unique perspective on life and learning. He ultimately settled in Southern Utah, where he and Brenda raised their three daughters.

Kimball loved to fly. He was fascinated by the subject of air and space. He earned his pilot’s license in his early 20s, and was an avid reader of military and aeronautical history. Kimball was passionate about travel and exploration. He loved to see the world, and inspired many others to do the same. He was a talented drummer and vocalist. He took great pleasure in music. He played a diverse range of albums during his travels, resulting in memorable soundtracks for all of his travel adventures.

Kimball also was a licensed contractor. He designed and built custom homes throughout Southern Utah. He was well-known for the aesthetic architectural designs and clever features he created.

Kimball was intent on being of service to his community. He first became an EMT in the early ‘80s, which led him to a remarkable career in medicine. In 1984, Kimball received his degree in Nursing, with high honors, from Weber State College via Dixie College and SUSC.

Over the next 30 years, Kimball led the charge as a registered nurse in emergency departments (ERs) in Utah and Nevada, helping to save thousands of lives. Kimball first worked in the ER at Dixie Medical Center, in St. George, UT, where he helped to establish its first fixed-wing Life Flight unit. Later, Kimball also worked in the ER at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas, and then moved his practice to North Vista Hospital in North Las Vegas in the early ‘90s. He accepted a position as booking nurse at the Las Vegas City Jail in 1999.

In 2003, the open road called, and he took a 1-year hiatus to drive 18-wheeler trucks from coast-to-coast for Dick Simon Trucking. He returned to saving lives in 2004, when he accepted a position in the ER at Mesa View Regional Hospital in Mesquite, NV, where he practiced medicine for another 10 years before hanging up his stethoscope to prepare for retirement.

At the time of his death, Kimball was building a self-sustaining, eco-friendly home, greenhouse, and garden, the designs of which are marvels of engineering. He was also planning the next family vacation, as well as a European trip with Brenda.

Kimball was a brilliant, commanding, and adventurous leader and visionary. He was a devoted and cherished husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, friend, and mentor. Words cannot describe our grief in losing him, or the depth of our gratitude for being loved by him.

Kimball is survived by his loving wife, Brenda; their three daughters, Janna Jensen Lewis (Michael), Sandra Lee (Charlie), and Karen Macias (Joe); seven grandchildren, Kimball, Savannah, Thomas, Olivia, Sofia, Fiona, and Lucia; and his many, dearly-loved siblings; all of whom he was fiercely proud. Kimball was preceded in death by his parents, Carol and Earl Jensen; his brothers, Joseph Owen and Larsen Earl; and his sisters, Leticia and Nina.

Monday a light went out of our life that will never be lit again. Our dear wife, mother, grandmother, sister, twin sister – Connie left this mortal existence to join her son, Ray, and other family members who are on the other side of the veil.

Connie was born to Ada Burningham and Doran Ray Hunt on November 28, 1933, in Ogden, Utah.  Connie’s early life was spent between Ogden, Bountiful and Joseph, Utah, as her mother moved often after the death of Connie’s dad in January 1938.  After her mother remarried, the family moved to Tooele and then to Ophir, where they resided for 7 years.  Ophir had only 104 residents at that time. Connie and her twin sister Bonnie laughed for years about their accomplishments by saying “Not bad for a girl from Ophir.”

Connie met and married John Paul Simon, the love of her life, June 1950.  John was in the military and so the family moved as he received orders for new locations.  The children, a son – John Paul Jr, was born in Ogden, Utah, Ray Lewis in San Francisco, CA, Sherry Lynn in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and last Wayne Jeffrey in Stuttgart, Germany.

Upon John’s military retirement they returned home to Tooele Utah, where Connie and John worked for many years at Tooele Army Depot. However, it was after their retirement from the depot that Connie came into her own. John and Connie opened Simons Silk Plants, a flower shop with a shop in Mesquite, Nevada. She designed and sold silk flower arrangements which were sold in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. It was the highlight of her working career. She had a wonderful talent for flower designing.
