We sadly announce the sudden passing of Garth Christensen, age 91, on December 11, at his home in Paradise Village.

Garth was born on August 17, 1930 in Sterling, Alberta to Norma and Allen Christensen. He graduated from University of Utah with an Agricultural Degree. Garth met Shirlee in the summer of 1954 and married December 10.

They raised five children: Grant (Tracy), Scott (Hanya), Todd (Gwen), Karyn, Joel, thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Garth was predeceased by his son Scott and his brother Jack.

Garth worked his way to Watkins Canadian Manager, started up Max-Pro Feeds, and retired as partner with Lundman Feeds in 1993.

Garth will be greatly missed. A private family gathering has taken place.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 1379 Kenaston Blvd., Winnipeg, MB  R3P 2T5
