Rita and family, I am so sorry to hear of Grant’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time
I was saddened to hear of Grant’s passing and send condolences to his family. I worked with Grant at Physicians many years ago but remember Grant’s impish sense of humor and his gentle spirit like it was yesterday.
So shocked to hear of Grant’s sudden passing. He always had a friendly smile and some type of humor to share. There is a somber hole left at Physicians Mutual with his absence. My prayers are with the entire family; everyone feeling the loss in his and her own way.
I am so very sorry to hear of Grant passing away. He was one of the most genuinely nice people I know. Always made you smile, always a kind word to share. My prayers and thoughts are with his family. May they be comforted by their beautiful memories.
Rita and family, I also was fortunate to be able to get to know Grant while working at Physicians Mutual several years ago. I have been back a couple of times and touched base with him. For a while, we had a routine of getting together before the work day to share a coffee or pop and talk about family, work, current events, etc. Grant’s impish humor was a treat for all of us. I am sorry that he was taken so young and offer my prayers and condolences.
Rita, I’m so very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I’ve worked with Grant for many years at Physicians Mutual. His friendly smile and sense of humor will be deeply missed.

Rita and Family – We are so sorry to hear about Grant’s passing. We will keep your family in our prayers. God bless all of you at this difficult time!
Very sorry for your loss.
Please accept my condolences and heart felt prayers for all.
Sending our deepest sympathy to the Christensen family, along with prayers for healing and peace. Grant was a great man and will be missed by all who loved him. I still miss his grandparents, Walter & Margaret. Walter worked with my Dad at Prairie Rose State Park for many years. God bless you all.
Very sorry for your loss. Grant always made me smile. I will miss seeing him at Physicians Mutual.
Rita and children you are in my family’s prayers. May you find comfort in this time. I was shocked to hear. In many ways Grant was a mentor to me in my years at Dana College. He would visit his brother Mike and me in our dorm room and quite honestly his guidance is how I chose my classes. He was a true leader and great person.
I was deeply saddened by the news of Grant’s passing. Please accept my sincere condolences.
Rita, our hearts are breaking for you and your family. You are in our prayers.
To Rita and family, and all the Christensen men. I woke up this morning to read that Grant had been called Home. Our two families grew up together and those memories all came rushing back. We thank God that He shared Grant with all of us, even for a short time. Please accept my deepest sympathies and prayers.
Rita and Family, we here at United Way of the Midlands had the privilege of working with Grant as he has chaired the United Way Campaign at Physicians Mutual. He was such an advocate for others in need, and will be sorely missed by many.
Hannah, Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Death of a family member is so hard especially an unexpected one. It does teach us to take each day with an open heart and make sure we tell those closest to us how much we love them and how important they are to us. Family is the most important thing in the world, the rest of life will take care of itself.

Am grateful to have known Grant during my tenure with Physicians Mutual. His heart was huge and he was loved by all who knew him. Sending peace, prayers and blessings to the Christensen family.
Rita,
I worked with Grant for a couple of years at Physicians. We greatly admired him for what he did but also how he did it. He loved people and made sure everyone felt welcome including me. He is an inspiration of how to live and work well. He will be missed.
