Craig Christensen Obituary
Craig G. Christensen, aged 54, passed away on July 10, 2024, in Salt Lake City, Utah after a brave battle with cancer. Born on April 19, 1970, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Craig spent his lifetime in his hometown where he established a beloved garden business, "A Taste from the Past" specializing in heirloom tomatoes.
Craig had a way of making people laugh, everybody enjoyed being around him. An avid watercolor artist, Craig captured the serene beauty of nature. He also loved playing guitar, fishing, camping, and tending to his garden. Craig was a great cook; we will all miss his Dutch oven fried chicken and baked beans.
In addition to his creative and outdoor pursuits, Craig's legacy includes the deep and lasting relationships he fostered with his family and friends. He is survived by his father, Larry Christensen; mother, Sharlene Christensen; brother, Tony (Joyce) Christensen; and his beloved niece, Crystal (Jake) Parrish, nephew, Jade Christensen (Bailey), great niece and nephew, Nora and Maddox.
Craig's life was a testament to the beauty of sharing and connection, and his memory will continue to inspire those who knew him. His laughter, kindness, and creative spirit will be profoundly missed.
In memory of Craig, adopt a pet, plant a tree or grow some heirloom tomatoes.
WE LOVE YOU CRAIG!
