Michael Christman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Dunn-Givnish Funeral Home on Jan. 3, 2024.
Michael Francis Christman of Bensalem, PA, passed away Friday, December 29, 2023 after fighting a short battle with lung cancer. He was 70 years old. Born on January 13, 1953 in Fort Meade, MD, he was the son of the late Theresa Christman.
Michael excelled within any company for which he worked, moving right up the ranks. He was detail-oriented and people-focused, strengths which led to great success working in the banking industry as a financial advisor, helping others to plan for their futures. But perhaps his greatest love of all was being a devoted family man. His bond with his wife and son was unbreakable. There were countless trips to Disney World over the decades among other favorite destinations. He loved all of the Philadelphia sports teams but in particular he and his son spent much quality time treating each other to Eagles games over the years.
For some quiet relaxation time, Michael could be found on the golf course which leant itself to creating priceless memories with good friends. Also in later years, his son, Michael, found the love of golf, which further strengthened their father-son bond.
Michael leaves behind his beloved wife of 41 years, Cynthia Anne Christman, and their loving son, Michael Ryan (Jillian). He will be eternally missed by his dear sister, Delores Diehl, his brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, goddaughter Meghan, nieces and nephews, and numerous friends; whether friends from childhood or those he met along the way, he cherished them all.
Relatives and friends are invited to Michael's Life Celebration on Tuesday, January 9, 2024 from 10:00 – 11:00am at St. Ephrem Church, 5400 Hulmeville Rd, Bensalem, PA 19020 followed by his Funeral Mass at 11:00am.

I am the manager of the Exxon gas station down from Mike's part time job with Auto Parts. We knew him as Mike C. And he was such a bright light every time he stopped in the store for his Coke Zero(his favorite) and his favorite Tastykake snack for the road. He had such a quirky sense of humor and he spoke of his family often with so much love and admiration. He bragged about his wife's floral skills and he always talked about how much he enjoyed helping her when she had big orders to do. Our regular customers become our family too and he is going to be missed so much. I am going to miss yelling out "Mike C how the hell are ya?!!" every time he came in. He always responded with "just living the dream". My heart goes out to Mike's family and friends and get your hole in one now Mike! Rest in peace.
