Carl Christian Christensen

September 24, 1943 - January 28, 2021

CARL (SKIP, CARL, CHRIS TOO) CHRISTENSEN 09/24/1943 – 01/28/2021 On January 28, 2021, Skip went joyfully home to be with the Lord and his wife of 48 years, Susan Christensen. Skip was born September 24, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York (hence his love for the Brooklyn Dodgers) to Elma and Niels “Bob” Christensen. Chris worked for Cofab Steel in Vallejo, for almost 35 years as a Structural Detailer/Draftsman before moving on to Romack Iron Works, in Benicia. Some of his work includes the light posts along the Golden Gate Bridge and the base of Cupids Span in San Francisco. Skip attended Pinole Valley Baptist Church while living in San Pablo, Ca. In 1978, he moved his family to Fairfield where he attended Celebration Church. He loved serving the Lord and did so in many ways throughout his life and in the church. In high school he was an avid short distance runner, setting the record for the 100-meter dash. He played baseball throughout his life until his stroke in 2015. The stroke took away much of his physical abilities but never his love for the Dodgers and Oakland Raiders. He will be greatly missed by his family, including daughters, Catherine Sparks (William Sparks) and Christina Randall, six grandchildren and one “on the way great grandchild. Skip was laid to rest next to his wife in Fairmont Memorial Park, he is on the “top floor”, Union Avenue, Fairfield, CA on February 19, 2021. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Celebration Church, 1837 Blossom Avenue, Fairfield.
