Brad Gregory Christensen born April 16, 1977, and passed away peacefully October 21, 2025, in Tooele Utah.
Memorial services will be held at the Dow James Memorial Building, 438 W 400 N, Tooele Utah. Services begin Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 12:00PM and will conclude at 2:00PM.
We are saddened of the loss of a Father, Son, Brother, and Friend. We will miss Brad and the special piece of love he held in our lives. Brad was full of big dreams and ideas. Everyone that knew Brad has heard at least one of his plans to change life and lead him to his next big break. Brad was a dreamer. Even if misguided, Brad would always befriend those in need without judgment. Brad shared everything with others even if it meant he would be left with nothing.
Brad had a constant desire and need to provide love to others. Brad expressed this through his poetry. Brad loved to share his poetry with close friends and family. Brad's early poetry was featured in the Rolling stones magazine.
Over the last five years Brad has had a difficult journey. Despite the setbacks Brad continued to maintain a positive outlook and was constantly looking into the future. Brad had a strong belief that life was precious. Although apart from his daughter, Brad always expressed his love for his little girl. He had a strong love for his people. Anyone who knew Brad knows; life is love and love is light.
Brad is survived by his daughter Laura Christensen, his former wife Rachel Porter, life partner Kelly Lewis, Mother Sara Johansen, Father John R. Christensen, sisters Rebekah Adams, Erin Bodily, chosen family Lance Moore, Shannon Bullock, Jon Bullock, Angela Thomas, Keven Thomas, Shawn Ortler, TJ and many others whom Brad considered family.
