What Jansen was like

Jansen was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. He was intelligent and was a student at the University of Pittsburgh, studying political science. He was compassionate and charming, lively, and witty with an infectious laugh.

Fondest memories of Jansen

Jansen spent much of his time with his family and friends. He loved his family and especially loved playing games with them. His family has fond memories of watching movies and shows with him and going to a Mumford & Sons concert and a Pittsburgh Penguins game with him. His friends remember him as a source of sheer fun (and great music).

How Jansen will be missed

There are so many things about Jansen to miss. When we talk about and remember him, we miss all of the big things and all of the small things. We just miss him.

How Jansen will be remembered

I think Jansen would like to be remembered as a forward thinker and a vibrant soul. And he left us with this Mumford & Sons lyric: "In these bodies, we will live. In these bodies, we will die. Where you invest your love, you invest your life." We love you, Jansen.
