William Christner Obituary

William "Bill" Darrell Christner was born on March 4, 1945 and passed away on November 16, 2016.

He is survived by his sister, Sandy Kizzen; his children, Barbi Ferguson, Denie Haley, Brian Christner and Sean Christner; his grandchildren, Nikae Easterling, Rachael Rosner, Jady Haley and Mace Ferguson; his niece and nephews, Kim Chabek, John Chabek, Michael Chabek and Stephen Chabek; and his sons daughters-in-law, Nathan Haley, Marcus Ferguson and Jennifer Christner.

You would never know Dad's life was never easy by looking at him. His personality was charming and infectious, not to mention his blue eyes were paralyzing. He would help whoever needed it; if it was broke he knew how to fix it. If his family needed something, he figured out a way to get it. He loved his family more than life itself, and we all knew it. He could navigate the continental United States because of his sense of direction that was better than modern day navigation tools.

Brother, Dad, Uncle, Grandpa, Friend . . . Bill . . We love you, we miss you, until we meet again, may you rest in peace.

Memorial Service, 10:30AM, Sunday, December 11, 2016 at Cheyenne Mountain Care Center, 835 Tenderfoot Hill Road, Colorado Springs , Colorado 80906.

I may have known Bill back in Cleveland, Ohio and the old Halloran Park swimming pool. We would have been no more than 14 or 15. I have 2 pictures of him at some family get together of mine from back then. If this is the Bill I knew, he indeed touched my life, though brief, May he rest in peace. If he is not the Bill I knew from Cleveland, please forgive...

I might have known Bill back in Cleveland, Ohio. From the obituary it is hard to know if he was from Cleveland and the old Halloran Park swimming pool. if so we knew each other back when we were 14 or 15 at the most. I have a couple of pictures of him at one of my family's get together that he was at. If this is not the Bill Christner I knew, please forgive but if it is he was a special but brief part of my life from a long time ago. May he rest in peace.
