Rob Christensen
April 21, 1970 – December 3, 2024
Rob Christensen, 54, passed away peacefully on December 3,
2024, at the St. Cloud Hospital, after a courageous battle with pancreatic
cancer.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 10, from 3:00
to 6:00 PM at the Benson Funeral Home in St. Cloud.
Rob was born in Princeton, Minnesota, to Paul and Corinne
Christensen. He grew up in Princeton, where he graduated from Princeton High
School. Rob married Wendy Bost, and together they raised two sons, John and
James, whom Rob adored.
Rob's unwavering positivity and strength in the face of
adversity were an inspiration to many. One of his proudest achievements was
reaching 20 years of sobriety, a milestone he often shared to encourage and
support others on their own journeys.
Rob is survived by his beloved sons, John and James
Christensen, and his brother, Mike Christensen. He was preceded in death by his
parents, Paul and Corinne Christensen.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to
the dedicated staff at the Coborn's Cancer Center and the St. Cloud Hospital
for their exceptional care, compassion, and support they provided Rob during
this difficult time.
Rob's legacy of resilience, love, and determination will
live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
