Leonard Roy Christensen Obituary

We are sad to announce that on April 7, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Leonard Roy Christensen of Yankton, South Dakota. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Leonard Roy Christensen to show support.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Leonard Roy may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Roy Christensen and Vlasta Christensen; and his sister Sharon Kleinschmidt. He is survived by: his wife Kathy; his children, James, Crystal, Mandy and P. J.; his children-in-law, Ally Christensen and Lincoln Brannick; his grandson Rowan Christensen; and his close friend Steve Obr.
