February 14, 1940 - December 13, 2024

In loving memory ~

Uwe Siegfried Jensen (Sig) passed away peacefully with family at his side on December 13, 2024.

Sig was born on February 14, 1940 to Ernst and Elizabeth Jensen, in Vaterstetten, Germany. The eldest of six children, he immigrated to Canada when he was 14 years old, first to Montgomery, Alberta and later to the Comox Valley, British Columbia.

He worked as a carpenter from a young age with his father and later started his own business, building both residential and commercial buildings throughout the Comox Valley and other parts of BC. In 1966, he married his love, Martha Stamme, and they went on to have three daughters, Natalie, Carmen and Sandra.

Sig always strived for excellence in his profession. He was a curious man, and an avid life-long learner. Giving back to his community was important to him, and for over 45 years, he was an active member of the Comox Rotary club where he contributed to many community projects.

His personal time was filled with family, friends, and the vigorous pursuit of numerous hobbies and activities. He loved skiing, boating, fishing, reading, hunting, gardening, hiking, birdwatching, camping and. travelling. Over time, he was blessed with six grandchildren, and they too joined him on many hiking, skiing and boating adventures.

Sig is survived by his wife, Martha; his five sisters, Heide (George), Heimke (Rick), Rike (Bill), Gudrun (Ken) and Claudia (Ron); his three daughters, Natalie (Steven), Carmen (Daryl) and Sandra (Josh); and his six grandchildren, Sage, Emma, Kai, Ash, Clara and Ocea.

A beautiful Celebration of Life was held to remember Sig on Saturday, December 21, 2024.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Comox Rotary Club.
