Willie Christensen

Lifelong Alaska resident Willie Christensen was born in Cordova, AK February 16, 1952. Sadly, at the age of 67, Willie died in his home in Sutton.

Willie was loved as a son, husband, father, brother, and friend of many. Willie loved life; he was a bright light when he entered a room. He had an infectious laugh and unique, irreplaceable sense of humor.

Willie enjoyed spending his time outdoors, working and playing. He loved bonfires, fourwheeling, and riding on snow machines... but his favorite pastime was spending time with those he loved, fishing in Unalakleet, AK. He will be deeply missed, as he was so loved by all.

He leaves to mourn his passing his loving wife of 27 years, Theresa (TC) Christensen, of Sutton, AK, children, Angel Strik (Phil) of Peru, IN, Lainey Petersen of Palmer, AK, Billy Christensen (Heather) of Wasilla, AK, and Calla Mae Christensen of Palmer, AK and step-children, Cheri, Anthony (T.J.), and Heather Hall. Willie had several grandchildren, great grandchildren, siblings Barbara Crossen, Peggelee Kendro, Kelly Christensen, Sheila McDonald, and Carl McDonald, nieces, nephews, and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, James Christensen, his mother, Margaret McDonald, stepfather, Roger McDonald, brothers, Wesley John Milton and Robert Christensen, and life-long best friend, John Sarren.
