Our precious and beloved son, Justen David Christensen, 22, passed away on December 2, 2022. Justen suffered multiple strokes in-utero and faced his life fearlessly as he battled severe cerebral palsy his entire life. After a recent illness, Justen passed away peacefully in his home in Casper.
Justen loved God, and we rejoice that he is free of his broken body and is now with Jesus in heaven. Justen was very smart, inquisitive, loving, generous, and gracious, with a great sense of humor and an infectious smile. He lived his life full of love and joy. He had a generous spirit, always seeing the best in everyone.
Justen brightened the life of everyone he met and was the inspiration for the creation of Renewed Hope Foundation, which has helped hundreds of special needs children over the past 17 years.
He loved traveling, having visited 7 countries and 32 states in his short life. Justen was always with his parents, and his favorite times were when he was also able to be with his brothers.
Justen is survived by his parents, Brad and Linda Christensen, his brothers Hayden, Stephen (Carrie), and Ethen, grandparents David and Nita Christensen and Timothy and Pamela Elston, Uncle Brian (Patti) Christensen and family, Aunt Kelly (Dayo) Ade, Uncle Michael Elston, and Aunt Andrea (Bill) Webb and family, as well as a large extended family. His family and friends love him dearly and will miss him always.
