Vernon "Chris" Christiansen, 92, entered into the arms of his beloved Savior on April 28, 2018.  He was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and uncle. He will always be remembered for his love of Jesus and putting a smile on your face with his jokes and compliments.

He proudly served his country as an air corpsman in the Navy during World War II, skillfully laid flooring for 70 years, and loved to talk about "his friend, Jesus."

Vern is survived by his daughter Linda(Jeff) Whitaker, sons Craig(Uyen) Christiansen, Don(Lisa) Christiansen, brothers Harry and Henry(Janet) Christiansen, sister Lillian Johnson, 6 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and his "extended family" Shawn(Angel) Montgomery.

He was preceded in death by his brothers Clarence and Earl Christiansen, sister Clara, and sisters-in-law Betty, Gay and Grace Christiansen.
