On Monday, the department posted a message on Facebook, announcing that Sgt. Jenson died over the weekend surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues.

Sergeant Jon Jenson was part of Fort Worth Police for 26 years, but his family didn't know a lot about his day-to-day there.So, she was surprised when he came home one day with a Lifesaving Award.Turns out, he had helped rescue an older man who thought he was back in World War II.

They contracted the virus in mid-August, and she said her husband was in and out of the hospital from then on.“I was always scared of him getting COVID because he already had lung problems, he has—he’s an asthmatic," she said. "He went from...breathing oxygen, to a mask, to the highest form of ventilator, like within 24 hours or so," Vickie said.“We were there to hold his hand whenever he passed and it was very hard," she said, looking at her two kids.
