Dr. Don R. Christiansen

Dr. Don R. Christiansen, 71, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, March 10, 2024 in the arms of his loving wife, Lisa Christiansen, nee Tiberio. He was born on September 17, 1952 in Muskegon, Michigan, to Vernon and Constance Christiansen who preceded him in death. A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Don was a faithful Christian who found strength and solace in his love for the Lord. He lived his life guided by those values and principles, and his unwavering belief in God was evident in everything he did. He shared a deep and abiding love with his wife and their bond was strengthened by their deep commitment to their faith. Don often spoke of heaven with a sense of joyful anticipation, knowing that he would one day be reunited with his loved ones in the presence of God. His faith in the promise of eternal life brought him comfort and peace, especially in his final days. Don’s passions focused around serving others as a gifted chiropractor and spending time outdoors golfing and boating. He cherished the time spent on the golf course with his friends and family, as well as the peaceful moments out on the water, especially when shared with Lisa. In addition to his loving wife, Lisa, Don is survived by his son, Brett (Amber) Christiansen and his 2 grandchildren, Katelyn and Landen. Don found immense joy in watching Landen’s sporting events and Katelyn’s musical performances. He loved being a part of their lives and watching them grow, always offering his unwavering love and wisdom. He is also survived by his sister, Linda (Jeff) Whitaker and their children Ryan and Eric; brother, Craig (Uyen) Christiansen and their children, Jenny, Amy and Grace; and his sisters-in- law, Dr. Angela Tiberio (Dr. Sue Dilsworth), Lenore (Brian) Nowicki and their sons, Michael and Mark Nowicki.
