At his family home, on the evening of May 29, 2015, Phillip Michael Christensen passed into the arms of our Lord Jesus after a valiant struggle with cancer.

He is survived by his parents, Mike and Angela Christensen; his brother and sister, Nathan and Katelin Christensen, all of Hampton. He is also survived by his grandparents, Jewel Tilson of Hampton and Gordon and Geneva Christensen of Grand Rapids, MI. Phillip also leaves behind a host of much loved family members.
