Paul Christenson Obituary
Paul E. Christenson, 81, of Knightstown passed away Monday, October 20, 2025.
Paul was born January 28, 1944 in Rowan County, Kentucky, the son of the late Oren and Martha (Hyden) Christenson. He was a 1963 graduate of New Castle High School and spent a 37-year career working at the New Castle Chrysler plant. Paul was a member of the Raysville Friends Church.
Paul was an avid (and very competitive!) slow pitch softball player – well into his adult years and long after many of his contemporaries "retired".
Paul enjoyed cheering for many sports teams – but especially the Chicago Cubs, the Indiana Pacers, and the Indianapolis Colts.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Oren and Martha Christenson; his in-laws, Gene and Judy Richmond; his nephew, Jason Morez; and his brother-in-law, Butch Morez.
Paul is survived by his wife of 42 years, Lisa, as well as his daughters, Pam (Randy) Carlton; Lisa (Richie) Broyles and his stepson, Jared (Stacy) Buckley. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Tyler Broyles (Macey Hinshaw); Nic (Abby) Broyles; Kelly (Corey) Buskirk; Addison Buckley and Dexter Buckley. Great grandchildren include Peyton and Piper Buskirk and another baby girl due later this year. Other survivors include his sister-in-law, Tena Morez; special niece Katie Garst; great nephews Cason and Carter Garst.
Paul's family wishes to thank everyone at Morristown Manor for their loving care during these past few months.
Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, October 24, 2025 at Hinsey-Brown Funeral Service in New Castle with Pastors Michael Sherman and Michael Jay officiating. Burial will follow at South Mound Cemetery. Visitation will be from 4:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 23 at the funeral home and one hour prior to the service on Friday.
