Jenson “Bubby” “Monster” Hartle
Jenson Robert Ray Hartle “Bubby” or “Monster”, died peacefully on September 18, 2019 at St. Louis Children’s Hospital with his parents at his bedside. He was born January 29, 2017 in Washington, MO. He is survived by his parents, Madison Lewis and Josh Hartle (Catawissa), his older sister Marcie (Leasburg), maternal grandparents Jake & Emily Lewis (Leasburg), great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jenson had been hospitalized since January 2019 after suffering hypoxic brain injury from CPR during a cardiac arrest. His last 8 months were filled with therapy at Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital and multiple PICU stays.
Although family is heartbroken, Jenson is now enjoying childhood as he should. Jenson was very active and curious about everything around him. His smile & laughter would light up a room. His favorite colors were green & blue, his favorite toys were dinosaurs & cars……he would argue that every vehicle was a car. Jenson also enjoyed playing with his older sister, Marcie and annoying her like a little brother should.
Family wants to extend appreciation to Union Police Department, Union EMS, St Louis Children’s Hospital and Ranken Jordan Bridge Hospital.
The family asks for donations to be made to GoFundMe titled “Monster Wings for Jenson”, St Louis Children’s Hospital or Ronald McDonald House Creve Coeur.
A “Return to Childhood Celebration” will be held at a later date.
