Peter Max Christensen Jr., son of Peter Max Sr. and Chlora Alberta Semken Christensen transitioned into the next life on July 7th, 2021 in Florahome, Putnam, Florida. He was born on Christmas Day 1936 in Price, Carbon, Utah. Pete was the epitome of a seasoned warrior. His body took the brunt of his military service but not his spirit.

Pete was president of the Putnam County Genealogical Society and a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He loved the temple and served as an ordinance worker for seventeen years.
