Family remembers Fort Worth police officer who died of COVID-19 complications.

All moments she and her kids are now holding onto after COVID-19 shattered their lives.

“I started to get better after a week, he did not. He started getting worse," said Vickie.

They contracted the virus in mid-August, and she said her husband was in and out of the hospital from then on.

Vickie said her husband got the virus while on the job.

“I was always scared of him getting COVID because he already had lung problems, he has—he’s an asthmatic," she said.

She said after being on an ECMO, Jenson's liver and kidney started failing. An ECMO machine pumps blood outside the body, allowing the patient's heart and lungs to rest.

"He went from...breathing oxygen, to a mask, to the highest form of ventilator, like within 24 hours or so," Vickie said.

They said their goodbyes to the 57-year-old on Saturday.
