Kyle Christensen

Our beloved Papa, Ky-Ky, Husband, Dad, Brother, and Son, Kyle Dee Christensen passed away on September 25th after an intense frustrating battle with Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, the suffering that Kyle experienced was too great for his spirit to endure.

Kyle was born in Mount Pleasant, Utah on January 30th 1964, the fourth of five children. He grew up surrounded by nature which is something that stuck with him throughout every chapter of his life. From a young age, Kyle had a great ability to interact with animals of all kinds, having had at one point in his life every possible animal as a pet you could think of. One of his greatest loves in life was running field trials with his many champion bird dogs. Growing up as a child he helped grow garden after garden with his dad and siblings eventually becoming somewhat of an expert gardener himself. Kyle spent many hours of his life dedicated to his hobby of pigeons, sharing his passion for the sport with hundreds of fellows in and around the nation and world with the Utah Pigeon Club, National Pigeon Club, and several international club events.

As he grew older he took a great interest in sports, specifically basketball, joining several basketball teams over the years with many of these teams making it to league championships. An accomplished land developer and real estate agent Kyle’s strength of character and willingness to always do the right thing brought him great respect and success in the real estate business with many clients becoming lifelong friends.

Kyle was a man of unlimited talents, such as carpentry, his incredible artistic talents, the power of the spoken and written word, and an ability to connect to others with great ease. He never had anything ill to say of others as others had nothing ill to say of him.

Kyle was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints having served in many callings and dearly loving those that he served.

Preceded in death by his father Donald R. Christensen, his brother Hal Christensen. His memories and strength will live on through his beloved and adored wife Brenda, his sons Dominik Christensen, Ty Little (Chrystal), Dain Little and his daughter Lindsey Perez-Alvarez (Elias), his mother Jackie Christensen Burke, his brother Jim Christensen (Holly), Colleen Norton (Grant), his brother Dale Christensen as well as numerous adoring grandchildren, nieces and nephews and the thousands of people who encountered Kyle throughout his life.
