CHRISTENSEN, Alro "Max"
Surrounded by loved ones as he went home to Heaven on December 7, 2004 at the age of 80, after a long and amazing life.
Born on November 6, 1924 in the small coal mining town of Kenilworth Utah, he moved with his family to Sacramento, CA in 1958.
Max's fondest memories were spending time with family and friends. He especially loved his 8 grandchildren and had a passion for fishing.
We, as his family take great pride knowing he served 10 years as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps; fighting for our freedom in War World II and the Korean War. Semper Fidelis.
The majority of his business career was spent in hotel management throughout California.
Survived by his 4 children, Gary, Susan, Collie and Stace; 8 grandchildren, Kaci, Rikki, Cody, River, CJ, Gracie, Caden and Jesse; as well as his 4 sisters, Cleo, Mahalia, Zola and Darlene. He will surely be missed by friends and family.
Memorial services will be held on Monday, December 13, at Christ Community Church 5025 Manzanita Ave. Carmichael, CA. at 1:00 pm. Reception immediately following.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to: UC Region Hospice Program, 3630 Business Dr. Sacramento, CA 95820.
