RODNEY ARNOLD CHRISTANSON
Rodney Arnold Christanson from Garson Ontario, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 17th at the age of 85. Rodney was born on April 21st, 1939 to Aletha and Arnold Christanson (predeceased) in Sudbury.
Rod is survived by his wife Aldine (nee McKinnon) of 62 years and they welcomed two children; Bradford and Natalie (Mike Kurkimaki) to complete their family. His grandchildren Connor (Julija), Jordan and Alexandria (Lennart) have fond and treasured memories of their Papa. Rod was the proudest great Papa to Jackson, Brodie and Isiah.
Rod was the oldest of three siblings predeceased by his brother Brodie (Tracy Christanson) and is survived by his sister Sharon (Ken Worsley). He is remembered fondly by his many nieces, nephews and Keown Reunion “Cuzzins”.
Rod attended Ryerson Institute of Technology; graduating the spring of 1961 and would spend the next 50 or so years designing and upgrading structures throughout the Greater Sudbury Area and beyond. A creative and imaginative draftsman, Rod strove to leave his legacy behind working with Sawchuck and Peach Associates, the Sudbury Board of Education, Proctor & Redfern and Providence Roofing & Design prior to retiring.
Rod was a dedicated volunteer assisting with the development of Camp Norland, was on the Board and a faithful member of First Baptist Church and was instrumental in the development of Teddy Bear Daycare; now known as Discovery Early Learning & Care. Rod also spent 17 years volunteering with the Garson Minor Hockey League. He was an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing and of course his treasured and immaculate vegetable garden. After retiring, his love for food and cooking developed to provide for many family meals enjoyed by all.
A funeral service will be officiated by Pastor Kevin Serviss on Saturday September 7th at 2pm at First Baptist Church, 2603 Falconbridge Hwy, Garson ON. There will be a time of gathering immediately after the service in the Church overflow.
