Dolphin owner Stephen Ross described Jenkins as a “good guy”.
“My heart is broken,” Ross said in a statement. “Jason Jenkins is an icon in the Miami community and above all he is a kind and incredible family man. His dedication to our organization is unmatched. He was my friend, but above all he was a generous spirit. Now my heart beats for Elizabeth and her children. The Jenkin family will always be part of the Dolphin family.”
New York Post Report: “Jenkins graduated from Texas Tech in 1997 with a BA in journalism. The Houston-born was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2017 and later delivered an acceptance speech. Before the dolphins, the 49ers worked with Texas Southern University and Lehigh University.”
Jenkins has been with Dolphins since 2009 and has served as Senior Vice President of Communications since 2015. Jenkins has a surviving wife and three children.
