Buck Christensen

July 26, 1939 - May 21, 2021

Our father and grandfather, Buck Christensen, passed away on May 21st at age 82. Buck was born in 1939 to his parents, James and Mary Christensen. Growing up in Clearlake, Wisconsin, Buck had a lively childhood. This would go on to shape his life as an adult and would inspire him to be a dedicated and loving father and grandfather. After meeting Dawn Middleton, the pair went on to eventually marry, and raise their 5 children Tammy, Julie, Judy, Bobby, and Travis along with many foster children. After the passing of their daughter Tammy they adopted her 5 children, Tucker, Bucky, Brandae, Marriah, and Shawnia, and raised them as their own. Buck and Dawn had many grandchildren and great grandchildren that they loved fiercely. Without Buck’s love and support, the lives of many in our family would’ve been drastically different.
