Jim was born on July 22, 1951, in St. Joe, Minn. He loved the beauty of creation, the trees, flowers, birds, wildlife, lakes, rivers, children and all of creation with its diversity.

Jim also was blessed with the ability and talent to use the blessings around him to create things for others. Jim could turn boards into homes of great beauty, leather and other materials were used to repair people's treasures and necessities.

Jim had the ability to bring other's dreams and visions to life. All one had to do was tell Jim what their vision was, and if at all possible, Jim would find the materials necessary to bring their vision to life.

Jim's great loving heart was always open to comfort, cheer and to help family, friends, neighbors and total strangers. Anyone who knew Jim was a better person for having known him.

He was the owner and operator of Rosholt's Shoe Repair in the Bonner Mall.

Jim was preceded in death by his first wife, Suzanne Jensen.

Jim is survived by his wife, Marva Jensen of Cocolalla; his son, Jesse Jensen of Eglin Air Force Base in Eglin, Fla.; stepsons, Ryan, Steve, Fred and Josh White and Tyler Stuker, all of Cocolalla; stepdaughters, Brieanna, Stephanie and Michelle White of Cocolalla; his parents, Al and Betty Jensen of Prescott, Ariz.; his parents-in-law, Clare and Donna Nelson of Naples, Idaho; a brother, Tom Jensen of Michigan; and five sisters, Karen Jensen of Michigan, Teresa Jensen of Oregon, Barb Scott of California, Louise Ochoa of North Carolina and Margaret Ebbens of New Mexico.

Funeral services are under the care of Coffelt Funeral Service of Sandpoint.
