Delores & Family, 
We're sorry to read of Ivan's passing.  I will always have great memories of him both in our Kohl Excavating work at the King Dome and other projects and the fun fishing trips at Westport.  He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Delores and family. I will truely miss Ivan, he was one of a kind. He could always make me smile. He will not be forgotten.

My wife Teresa and I lived at Shady Valley in the mobile out front when Ivan put it in, our first home together 21 years ago.   It was a blessing to work for Ivan and Delores, and gave us an opportunity to save and buy our first home.   Always work to be done; Ivan treated me fairly and with respect I probably hadn't earned at the time.  He told me about pheasant hunting in the dakotas, and I go there every year now that I can afford to; always remembering he'd shared the inside info with me.  We will always be grateful to you both for helping us get started and treating us so well.   Our deepest condolences to your entire family.

Dear Family! We in North Dakota are heartbroken that our Ivan has been taken from us so abruptly! He never forgot us! We are so happy that he came for his Uncle Elvin's 98th birthday last year in March.We had such a grand time as we always did when Ivan came home! We will cherish the memories and speak of him often.

"Great times making fishing memories with a great gentelman, I will never forget.  My condolences to Delores and Family."

Dearest Delores and family,
So very sorry and sad for your loss. A great man who lived a great life, gone too soon! Sending prayers to dad to welcome Ivan.

Dear Delores and family, 
Billy and I are thinking of you at this sorrowful time.  Ivan was a wonderful person and the world is a sadder place.

This is so sad!  Ivan was the most wonderful friend!!!  I will miss you.  Hope you are hunting and having your dogs on the couch in heaven!

Ivan, I will truly miss seeing you in the Summer at Emerald. You were one of the nicest people I know.

Delores, my mom and I are so sorry for your loss, we loved Ivan. He will definitely be missed.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Christianson Family.  I am so very sorry for your loss.

Our world will never be the same without your grin and twinkle in your eyes for all to enjoy.... thanks so much for the patience you showed us all, especially as we annually wrapped the crab lines around the props...:) We will miss you greatly.  Love, Jinx

We sure will miss you Ivan. Your kindness and friendship, your delightful smile and laughing eyes. Your Yuma neighbor Warren and Sharon

I imagine that your heaven must look like Alaska with Big Game, Big fish, lots of game birds, bird dogs and plenty of horse racing.Thanks for sharing your box seats with us and letting us feel like we were special!
Love, Shanny

Always memories of my highest respect for such a good and honorable man.
His family and friends always came first.  My heart goes out to his family, I'm so sorry for your loss.

God must seriously be in desperate need of some amazing angels as he's been calling upon too many in our circle of friends and family. It is difficult,  but Ivan is joining a huge party in heaven among family and friends and all those beautiful horses as well. Keeping you all in our hearts and prayers. 
Love to you all,
The Morrow Family

You will be missed in this life Uncle Ivan...look forward to seeing you in the next. Our time spent together will always be treasured.

Ivan-
If I had known the last time I hugged you would be the last I wouldn't have let go!  Hope you and Dad, and the boys are catching up on old times and enjoying some cold beer and laughter.  Thank you for always making me feel a little closer to Dad when you were here.  Your smile remains in my heart.

Ivanhoe..No more stop signs!, just do the twist.  Thank you for a lifetime friendship.  And thank you Delores for being such a great wife to my friend.

You were always Iverson to me and such a good friend in the harvest of our life.  Hoping for some of your ice cream when I see you in Heaven.

You were not only my brother but my best friend and hunting partner. I will miss our laughs and fun times together.

We will miss you in in Yuma, Rest In Peace.
