Dr. Richard C. CHRISTENSEN

The world was made better due to Dicks many gifts. May his family find peace this holiday season.

I remember Dr. C well. I was not a patient of his, but my fiancé, Lance, was. Sadly Lance passed away quite suddenly in front of me on 4 Apr 2015 and I walked around all dazed for weeks afterward. It was a very traumatic experience for me and I remember Dr. C catching me at the Beaches Clinic. He stopped me as I was leaving and tried so desperately to get me to come in and talk to him. I just couldn't, but I told him that I would make an appointment at a later date when I felt ready... Then I...

I was a client of Dr. C and made great strides toward better health due to his compassion and care. Thank you for sharing him with us. He will never be forgotten.

My dear friend, Mary Ann. I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Family is so dear to me and I am sure as well to you. Please know that you and your entire family have been in my thoughts and prayers.

On behalf of the entire FreshMinistries family.

I attended school with Dick 8th-12th grade. We played basketball and worked at Pappy's Kitchen together. He and his family accepted the new kid at school and the neighborhood when others did not. He was a special friend, a fine man from a fine family. Though we lost contact I have special memories. My condolences to his family. He lives in love!

Dick was great a 8th-12th grade friend. He and his family accepted me as a new kid in school and the neighborhood. We played basketball and worked at Pappy's Kitchen together. Many special memories. Even though we lost contact I know a fine family lost a fine person. He lives in love! John Strukamp Dayton

Mary Anne, Kathy and Family:

There are simply no words, explanations or reasons that make any sense right now. Only remembering the tremendous gifts which Dick so easily and selflessly shared with our most vulnerable citizens. I hear over and over how devastating his loss will be to our community,....to the mentally ill and homeless. Not to mention to his family and friends.

We offer our deepest condolences ..... and will continue to send thoughts and prayers of...

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. C for just a couple of years but he left such an imprint in my life. His dedication to serving the underprivileged, his self-effacing character, his kindness to the clients and his colleagues and more are the traits that I remember most about Dr. C. Jacksonville and North Florida will truly miss him.

Dick and Kathy were neighbors of ours many years ago, and he was truly as wonderful a person as has been said. Always positive, always generous and always smiling, he will be missed enormously! Our love to Kathy and Chris.
