Bing Christensen One of the great land surveyors of the West has finally traversed his last range line, taken his last backsight, and pounded his last rebar. Our beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great grandfather, Bing Christensen, 79, passed away on February 4th, 2022, at his home in the presence of loved ones. He was the endlessly grateful husband of Geri (Geraldine Hope Gee) Christensen with whom he shared 59 cherished years of marriage. Born in the redrock beauty of Moab, Utah, he was the son of Ted and Lenna (Newell) Christensen. He also lived in White Salmon, Washington; Boise, Idaho; Anchorage, Alaska; and Orem, Midway, and Provo, Utah. He attended Brigham Young University where he earned a Bachelor of Engineering Science in Civil Engineering. He practiced land surveying professionally his entire life and worked for various companies, including Rollins, Brown, and Gunnell, (Provo), Aspen Engineering (Orem), MCM Engineering (Heber City), Summit Engineering (Heber City), and Christensen and Plouff Surveying (Midway). He also surveyed in Alaska for the Bureau of Land Management and owned his own business in Heber Valley, Utah, for many years. He was a life-long member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved serving in the temple and teaching Primary. He was very athletic and especially enjoyed running, walking, and hiking for many years. He also loved the outdoors, reading, music, cowboy westerns (especially starring The Duke), and any number of decadent desserts. He will long be remembered for his honesty, work ethic, love for his family, and love for and faith in his Savior, Jesus Christ. He is survived by his wife Geri, brother Edward (Erin), son Shawn David (Lisa), son Brent Edward (Tammy), son Dane Newell, son Boyd Allen (Melissa), daughter Anna Lynn (Steven), daughter Erin Leigh (Aaron), and daughter-in-law Holly, 24 grandchildren and 3 step-grandsons and 2 great grandchildren and 10 step-grandchildren.

The funeral service will be held on February 11th, 2022, at 2:00pm at the Grandview 13th Ward meeting house located at 1260 West 1150 North, Provo, Utah (viewing beginning at 12:45), with interment at the Sunset Memorial Gardens cemetery in Moab, Utah, the following day. . . . And there arrives a lull in the hot race Wherein he doth for ever chase The flying and elusive shadow, Rest. An air of coolness plays upon his face, And an unwonted calm pervades his breast. And then he thinks he knows The hills where his life rose, And the Sea where it goes. from "The Buried Life" by Matthew Arnold
