Obituary for David G. Jepsen
David G. Jepsen, 57, of Mansfield, CT, loving husband to Jennifer (Shaff) Jepsen, and devoted father to Benjamin, passed away on September 19, 2021. He was born in Hartford, CT to Donald and Lois (Hackbarth) Jepsen.
Raised in Collinsville, CT, Dave developed his love of nature while fly-fishing in the Farmington River with his beloved father. Dave graduated from Canton High School and continued his education at UCONN, earning a degree in Economics. After being employed by the FDIC and a private bank, Dave has worked, for the past nineteen years, as a database engineer for East Hartford Public Schools.
Dave will be remembered by his welcoming smile he shared with everyone. He was the best husband and father whose pride and joy was his son, Ben. Dave was a talented home chef and amateur photographer who loved bringing joy to others through his food and photos. An avid hiker, he spent the last year with his family, hiking all of the Joshua Trust properties. He enjoyed sharing a passion for music with many friends and family. Dave will be remembered as a mentor to others, be it to foster a love of music or begin a career in I.T.
