Jalen attended Manzano High School and was a junior. His smile lit up any room! He was very close to his brothers, Jovan and Khaliq. Jalen was a talented athlete (football and track). Jalen was a very talented artist and loved to draw. Jalen enjoyed going to Conchas Lake with his grandpa Daniel. He learned good work ethic at an early age. Jalen liked to take apart anything and put it back together. Just to do it. Jalen was a jokester but knew when to be serious. He cared and loved everyone in his life, including the various animals that he was in contact with. Jalen always cared about everyone else first.

A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, February 8, 2020, 11:00 a.m. at FRENCH - Wyoming.

He is loved by all and will be greatly missed.

Love you Jalen ( J Dogg )
