Phil Christensen Obituary

Phil Edward Christensen, 82, passed away in West Point, Utah on June 26, 2025, just three days before his 83rd birthday. Born on June 29, 1942, in Mount Pleasant, Utah, Phil was the youngest child of Edward and Della Christensen.

On June 25, 1972, Phil married the love of his life, Martha (Mable), in Elko, Nevada. The newlyweds spent their honeymoon doing what they loved most—fishing together at Strawberry Reservoir. Their bond was strong, filled with love, laughter, and shared adventures in the great outdoors.

Phil and Martha were blessed with two sons, Todd (Ashley) and Randy “Ru” (Tamara) Christensen, who were the pride and joy of his life. He taught them how to fish, hunt, and appreciate the natural world, passing on not just his knowledge, but his passion. A true jack-of-all-trades, Phil could fix anything and was always eager to share his know-how. To his boys, he wasn’t just a father, he was a real-life Superman.

He dedicated 40 years of hard work to the phone company, where he spent most of his career as a technician inside the Central Office in Ogden. He was known for his tireless work ethic, his kindness, and the deep respect he showed everyone he met.

Phil is survived by his sons; grandchildren: Breegan (Cuyler), Kade, Kali, Lexi, Talyn, Bailey (Austin), Kasten, Avery, and Gunner; and by many dear friends who cherished his companionship and generous spirit. He is proceeded in death by his wife, parents, and siblings.

Phil lived a life grounded in love with his family, his friends, and the outdoors. His legacy will live on in the lives of those he taught, teased, and inspired.

He will be deeply missed.

The family would like to thank Canyon Home Care and Hospice. Special thank you to Teisha, Jamie, Mindy, and Skyler for all of their help keeping him safe and comfortable in his last days.
