Jack Stuart Christiansen, 60

Jan. 14, 1953 - May 2, 2013

Jack Stuart Christiansen, of Coeur d’Alene, passed away May 2, 2013, in Seattle. His memories are passed on by his wife, Cheryl; his three daughters, Ruth, Mary and Amy; his son, Sean; his two grandchildren, Nikelle and Brody; his sisters, Judy and Janet; and his brother, Paul.

Jack truly loved and was deeply devoted to his family and was always there to lend a hand to anyone in need. His presence in this world will be greatly missed. Jack proudly served his country in both the Army and the Navy. His favorite pastimes included golf, trips to the casino, and staying abreast of both local and world affairs for which he was always ready to debate a point-of-view. While Jack’s beliefs were always strong-minded, his view of the world was that of a fisherman: if you wanted to catch your fill of intellect and wit, then all you had to do was “bite me.”

A celebration of Jack’s life for family and friends will be held from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, May 11, 2013, at Sargeant’s Restaurant, 9021 N. Government Way, Hayden. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Coeur d’Alene Public Library.
