John Christian Edwardsen

I have known Chris since I moved here eight years ago. He was a great friend and neighbor and exemplified what a husband and sibling can be. Additionally, I admired and envied his professional reputation as a fellow lawyer. I miss him greatly.

Chris was my friend, landlord, and my "brother next door." He was a witness to my life and a quiet guide. He was patient and forgiving. Few people have had such an influence on my life, and I am blessed to have known him.

Chris had so much humility, integrity, and kindness. He was so warm, down to earth, and easy to talk with. My brother, Jerry Edwards, and I would talk about the fact that Chris was one of the best examples of what it means to be a member of Delta Chi Fraternity- Washington Chapter. Chris was one of the most positive people I have known as a fraternity brother and a friend. Chris always had such a great sense of humor. I always felt that Chris was so sincere and interested in hearing from me...

I met Chris while working at Freightliner/Daimler Trucks. He was a pleasure to work with, and a genuinely (sp) nice guy. Looking back, i definitely took those interactions for granted. As a cancer survivor, i seem to take these losses to heart.... i hope his last year with family was comfortable for all concerned. greg

Dear Family of Chris Edwardsen, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Chris. I worked with Chris for many years at Freightliner/Daimler and he was a terrific person! He was always a professional in his legal guidance on many topics and great to work with! God bless him and your family. Best personal regards, Paul Romanaggi

Chris' memory will live on in the impact he made on those around him. I am fortunate to have been Chris and Christine's next-door neighbor from 2015-2023. I will miss many wonderful things about Chris: his sincere friendliness, his genuine interest and care for other people, and for the environment, and his unfailing volunteerism. He never hesitated to lend a hand, a bit of advice, or a tool, and he was an earnest listener and question-asker, always interested in what other people had to say....

We are keeping vigil remembering our friend Chris alongside with the mountains, the Gorge, and the rivers that know his light step. Our hearts are thankful for the times of joy , laughter and wisdom we shared over the years. Till we all meet again.

My brother Chris is in my heart forever. Intelligent and loving times I'll remember forever. Ellen

Mr. Edwardsen was a long time, beloved volunteer at Friendly House, providing services through the Senior Law Project. We adored him, as did the clients he supported. I'm so sorry for the family's loss. He was such a lovely human being. Warmly, Friendly House
