Remembering Anne Katrine Jensen of San Francisco
Anne Katrine Jensen of San Francisco passed away on August 1st at the young age of 16. Anne, known as "AK" to her loved ones, was a passionate and creative soul who touched many lives in her brief time on this earth.
A Spunky, Intelligent Young Woman
AK was a student at Lowell College Prep High School in San Francisco. By all accounts, she was highly intelligent and full of spunk and passion. At just 16 years old, AK was already demonstrating strong leadership abilities and a commitment to making a positive difference in the world.
She sat in on business meetings with her mother and other entrepreneurs, absorbing the language and strategies of the business world. AK often provided meaningful feedback and suggestions far beyond her years. She was interested in leadership opportunities and volunteering her time to help others.
A Budding Poet and Artist
AK's greatest love was expressing herself through art and poetry. She had a gift for writing and creative self-expression. If you were lucky enough to read AK's poetry, you would have been amazed by her way with words and her emotional intelligence.
AK also loved meeting creative entrepreneurs like Will.i.am, the President of Epic Records, and the director of the Rush Hour films. She resonated with the calling of business and art. AK dreamed of one day having an impact on the world through her creative talents.

Gone Too Soon
The loss of AK at such a young age is heartbreaking for her loved ones. For her mother, there won't be a day that goes by without thinking of her beloved daughter and friend.
But AK's early departure can also serve as a reminder to others - life is fragile and unpredictable. We should live each day to its fullest, surrounded by the people we love. As her mother said, "Go live and love each day like it's your last because one day you will be right."
AK touched countless lives in just 16 short years. Though the grief is immense, her loved ones can take solace in the fact that AK packed more passion, artistry, and zeal for life into her brief time here than many do in a much longer lifetime. She will live on through their cherished memories and in the hearts of those her spirit touched.
A Reminder to Appreciate Life
For those of us less acquainted with AK, her passing is still a reminder to be present and grateful for each moment. It inspires us to connect deeply with loved ones, pursue dreams wholeheartedly, and "enjoy the ride," as Anthony Bourdain put it.
AK's contagious lust for life teaches us to find joy in the small moments - to order the cream sauce, visit somewhere new, listen to someone different. Though she left far too soon, we can honor AK's legacy by embracing the unknowns of life with warmth, curiosity, empathy, and zeal.
The loss of a child is unimaginable. May AK's loved ones find comfort in community and in carrying her spirit forward through their own lives. Though nothing can fill the void left behind, AK sparked a light that will continue shining, as her memory lives on in the hearts of all those she touched.
