Remembered for his unique humor

I was so saddened to hear of the death of Cascade High graduate Brett Jensen. No, I am not a relative, or a friend of the family. I am one of the many folks who go to Aquasox games, and have enjoyed Brett as one of the stadium vendors. He had the most unique, and funniest tag lines, and kept us in stitches with his funny voices. We were always delighted when he had our section. The funniest memory was the time he was selling “Cracker Jacks.” As we finished singing “Take me out to the ball game,” up came Brett with the line: “I heard you all wanting peanuts and Cracker Jacks.” Of course in his funny voices his tag line was even funnier.

Thank you, Brett, for making our lives just a whole lot happier. You are missed. God bless your family.
