Phillip "Bo" Jenks

    Phillip Jess “Bo” Jenks, age 61, of Randlett, passed away March 11, 2015, at the Uintah Basin Medical Center from an apparent heart attack.
    He was born July 25, 1953, in Roosevelt, to Percy Black and Hazel Wanna Jenks.  
    Phillip was a saddle maker and a saddle bronc rider.  He worked for the Ute Tribe Cattle Enterprise for 17 years.   He traveled all over attending PRCA rodeos and was on the Northern Ute Tribe Pow Wow rodeo committee.  He attended a saddle bronc riding clinic in Oklahoma that was taught by Jim Shoulders and Harry Vold, two veterans in the national rodeo arena.  He was a big fan of Marty Robbins’ music.  He liked to hunt, fish, participate in the Sundance, and, in his younger years, the Bear Dance.  
    He had a great sense of humor and liked to tease.  He was friendly, never mean,  and got along with almost everyone.  He helped anyone in need.  His friends and relatives also called him simply, “Uncle”.
    Phillip is survived by his sisters, Joyce Jenks, Colene Black (Tracy Warrick), both of Randlett; a brother, Reggie (Clarinda) Jenks, Ouray; grandma, Rebecca John and her family, all of Cow Springs, Arizona; and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles.  
    He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Marvin and Jessie Wanna Jenks; parents Percy and Hazel; brothers, Byron Arrive and Rodrick Black.  
    Graveside services will be held on Friday, March 13, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. at the Randlett Cemetery.
