He was born September 4, 1975 in Rexburg, Idaho to James D Jorgensen and Linda Goody Jorgensen and was raised in Ririe, Idaho.

They have been blessed with 1 son and 3 daughters. He worked as manager for Electrical Wholesale in Missoula, Montana. Jasen loved to work, and in the 18 years of marriage, he never took one sick day. Jasen achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, and as an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he served as a faithful home teacher as well as a counselor in the Sunday School and Elder’s Quorum presidencies, and he was currently serving as Young Men’s President. He loved his calling and adored the youth of his ward. He was a member of the Trap and Skeet Shooting Club of Missoula. He enjoyed camping with his family who referred to him as “The Camp Chef.” Fishing, snowmobiling, prairie dogging, hunting and riding motorbikes with his son, and making waffles every Saturday morning with his girls were activities that he cherished. He truly loved his wife and children; they were his everything, and he made the most of each moment he had with them.
