Ben Christensen

Ben Christensen, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully in the presence of his family on the evening of February 11, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, craftsmanship, and cherished memories.

Born on August 1, 1946, in Brigham City to his parents, Elna and Gerry Christensen, Ben graduated from Box Elder High School in 1964 and pursued further technical education during his career as an auto mechanic for John Watson Chevrolet. His career there was defined by hard work and loyalty—qualities he carried throughout his life.

He shared 56 beautiful years of marriage with his devoted wife, Faye, exemplifying unwavering love and partnership. Together, they built a life full of laughter, warmth, and countless memories.

Ben’s hands were gifted in the art of woodworking. His creations were more than just pieces of furniture—they were tokens of his love and skill. In his free time, his love for golf shone through, whether he was out on the green or sharing stories from his favorite games.

Above all, Ben’s greatest pride and joy were his family. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Dennis, Voy, Roy, Brent, and Bruce. Ben is survived by his siblings Jan, Linda, Pam, Lewis, Lesa, Todd, and Yvette; his children Jerry (Janine), Mike (Kris), and Jaime (Melissa); nine grandchildren; and eleven great-grandchildren, all of whom will carry his legacy and forever remember his humor, wisdom, and love.

Graveside services will be held on Saturday, February 15, at 2:00 p.m. at Lindquist’s Memorial Park at Layton, 1867 N. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah. Family and friends may visit Saturday from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 N. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah prior to the service. 

In lieu of flowers, Faye kindly requests that you bring or send a photo of Ben to honor his memory.
