A life well lived, Lloyd D. Christensen passed away Friday, March 15, 2019, at the age of 92. Born in Mount Pleasant, Utah to Calvin Nathan Christensen and Juanita Elsie Sanderson in 1926, Lloyd grew up in the middle of three brothers and two sisters. Rural life presented Lloyd with a variety of jobs as a youth including a paper route, milking cows, harvesting peas and caring for the sick behind the beckoning of his tireless mother. Lloyd worked for his Grandfather Nephi, weeding his wheat dry farm every year. Nephi would watch them from the hill above the acreage to see that they worked hard and would reward them with a grape Nehi Soda drink if they did. Nephi's wheat was sought after for seed because it was so weed free because of Calvin's boys (dad) making sure no weeds could grow and go to seed ruining the value of his crops At the age of 15, Lloyd moved with his family to Provo, Utah where he met the dark- haired girl across the street, Marilyn Jensen, who found him irresistible. The two dated during their time at Provo High School where Lloyd played basketball and worked as a butcher in his dads market. He also was the lead in his High School Play Called "June Mad." Lloyd attended Provo Vocational School and then entered the Navy in 1944 where he went to radio school for basic training in Great Lakes Illinois near Chicago. Then off to San Francisco, California for the duration of WWII. He arrived home on July 13, 1946. Lloyd and Marilyn increased there association until it bloomed from a high school romance into an Eternal Marriage on August 25, 1947, in the Salt Lake Temple. The couple moved to Ogden before the birth of their first child Reese. During that time Lloyd worked at repairing typewriters at Morgan Typewriters and also worked an extra job at Sears and Roebuck as a carpet salesman before being recalled from his Navy reserve status to active duty during the Korean Conflict. Aboard the ship U.S.S. Hamul (AD-20) where he continued his typewriter mechanic education. Daughter Rebecca was born before he returned in May 1951. Son, Timothy joined the family after his return. The family moved back to Provo, Utah in 1953 where Lloyd bought the Royal Typewriter Franchise and began his business career with the launch of Lloyd's Typewriter Company on Center Street. The business grew over 40 years during which time it branched out from typewriters to all varieties of business machines and eventually computers. The family moved to Orem in 1954 where the remainder of the family, Todd, Peter, Chris, Tracy, and Kelly were born. A lifelong ski enthusiast, Lloyd taught all the family to ski on both snow and water and hit the slopes himself till the age of 84. Lloyd and Marilyn eventually move to Lindon after the University Mall bought the neighborhood our family grew up in. There they build their new home and stayed until the present time. During Lloyd's life, he served Church and community as Ward Clerk, Stake Missionary, and Bishop of the Orem 19th Ward in the Sharon Strake for 7 years. Later he served on the High Council in both Sharon and BYU stakes. He was a Temple Ordinance Worker at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple for 10 Years rising every morning of his shift at 4:00 a.m. He served as Explorer Leader, Scouting District commissioner in Squaw Peak District and Utah National Parks Council, after which he was awarded the Silver Beaver. Lloyd was a two-term president of Orem Kiwanis Club. He won numerous Top Sales awards with companies like IBM, Ricoh, Commodore, and Royal typewriter. These awards allowed Lloyd and Marilyn to travel to Europe, Asia, parts of the United States and their all-time favorite, Bermuda. They later would take yearly trips to Mazatlan, Mexico to enjoy the beach and the warm sun. Lloyd stood out as a faithful husband, father of 8 children, grandfather of 47, and great grandfather of 47 great-grandchildren. He never wavered in his belief in and love for God and Jesus Christ and his fellow man. Known by everyone for his whistle, Lloyd's cheerful spirit carried his song of joy with him always. A subtle sense of humor kept his many life stories entertaining, especially when he laughed along with the jokes. Our family learned the true art of charity and service from Lloyd and Marilyn who quietly went about "doing good". Marilyn passed away in 2001, but Lloyd carried on stalwartly and faithfully without complaint for 18 years even after two falls that eventually led to his own passing. In his true-to-character nature, he longed to be reunited with Marilyn with the hope that "she will have me." We have no doubt that that will be the case, for Marilyn loved Lloyd from the moment she first saw him. So glad they are not without each other anymore. Lloyd was preceded in death by His parents, 5 brothers and 2 sisters, son Chris Calvin, Granddaughter Jennie Rebecca Hunter, Great grandson Memphis Hunter, BUT is survived by brother Wendell, Brigham City, Children Reese Christensen of Orem, Rebecca (Dennis) Hunter of Lindon, Tim (Terri) Christensen of Orem, Todd (Karen) Christensen of Orem, Peter (Heidi) Christensen of Riverton, Tracy (Anne) Christensen of Park City, Kelly (Valorie) Christensen of Pleasant Grove, all residing in Utah. With a combined posterity of 108 as of this date Lloyd leaves a big hole in our family, but a treasured legacy of love, integrity, faith in God and service and some whistling offspring.
