Arthur “Chris” “Bob” Frank Christianson, 77, of Graham, Washington, passed away on June 21, 2025.

Born December 20, 1947, in L’Anse, Michigan, to Lucille Lorraine Denomme and Franklin Colter Christianson, Chris served 24 years in the U.S. Army, earning three Purple Hearts and other awards for his courage and dedication during his Vietnam tours.

He was an avid bow hunter and fisherman who loved Corvettes, motorcycles, trucking, and cooking—especially breakfast.

He is survived by his children Kenneth Christianson, Sarah Wells, Anja Christianson, Annika Christianson, and Arend Christianson; sister Lou Barbrick; and brother Dan Coleman. He also leaves behind ten grandchildren—seven boys and three girls—who brought him great joy.

He was loved, and is deeply missed by many, and will forever be in our hearts.

In accordance with the family’s wishes, no formal service will be held. His ashes will be privately spread at a later time in the mountains at his old hunting grounds.
