Dear Friends, It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the sad news that we have lost our much-beloved Debbie. A devoted asset to our company for 25 years, Debbie Jepsen was much more than our office manager. She was the one who greeted our customers (and once she met you, she knew you by name and remembered your stories and what car you drove). She had strong relationships with our business partners and providers, and knew them well. She kept everything running smoothly at the shop, and made sure everyone was staying on task. She loved “her guys” at BZAB and took great joy in taking them under her wing. She ran the show in pretty much every capacity of the business, was a great problem solver with an excellent understanding of the industry and knew all the players. She loved to cook for us, always looked after us, laughed with us (and AT us), and was a treasured member of our BZAB family.
A Farmgirl at heart, Debbie was the real deal. She was a straight shooter, and the salt of the earth. She was also a survivor of many hardships in life, and was a formidable fighter against them all. When she learned she had cancer, she fought hard and had faith that she could beat this challenge, too. But in the end, this was the one battle she could not overcome. She left this earth on March 26, 2025, and took her new position of our shop Guardian Angel from Heaven. We miss her terribly, and as she watches over us, we hope to make her proud.
