It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, son, and friend, Brandon Todd Christenson, who left this world on November 23, 2025, in Lyman, Wyoming. Born on September 25, 1978, in Murray, Utah, Brandon blossomed into a vibrant spirit whose passion for life left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
A steadfast supporter of college and professional sports, Brandon wore his heart on his sleeve, proudly cheering for his beloved Michigan Wolverines. His enthusiasm for baseball matched only by his love for adventure, he cherished weekends spent exploring the great outdoors in his treasured 1994 Jeep Wrangler, creating countless memories with family and friends against breathtaking backdrops.
A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Brandon exemplified strength, loyalty, and honor. He wore these qualities not just in service to his country, but as a devoted husband to his wife, Tristin, and a nurturing father to his cherished children, Dillon and Jade. His family was his pride and joy, and he worked tirelessly to create a loving home filled with laughter and warmth.
Brandon leaves behind a legacy of love that extends beyond his immediate family. He is survived by his devoted mother, Julie Crossley; his father, Brent Christenson (Doreen); his brothers Jason, Jaron, Coby, and Nathan Christenson; his grandmother, Carol Miles; and his two loyal dogs, Cinder and Maize. He was greeted in the next life by his stepfather, Jim Crossley, as well as his grandparents, Frank and Wanda Christenson, and his grandfather, Jack O’Connell, all of whom he missed dearly.
As we gather to honor Brandon's life, let us celebrate the love he gave and the joy he brought into our lives. He may have departed from this earthly realm, yet his spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
Details regarding celebrations of life will be shared soon, where we invite all to come together and share in the warmth of his memory. He was truly one of a kind, and he will be profoundly missed.
