Aaron Rowand, former White Sox outfielder, simply stated, "As a teammate, he was the best."

White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf shared a heartfelt statement, acknowledging Jenks' battle with cancer and expressing the profound loss felt by the entire organization. He leaves behind his wife, Eleni Tzitzivacos, their two children, Zeno and Kate, and four children from a previous marriage.

Bobby Jenks' legacy extends far beyond his impressive statistics. He was a fierce competitor, a loyal teammate, and a loving father. His memory will forever be cherished by the White Sox organization and baseball fans everywhere. He will be deeply missed.
