Robert P. Christensen, 72

Robert P. Christensen of Pawleys Island, South Carolina passed away September 2, 2016.

Rob was a proud graduate of Blair High School, class of 1962.

Upon graduating from Wayne State with a degree in Chemistry/Math, he spent his career working throughout the country as a Nuclear QA Engineer working in both construction and clean-up.

Robert celebrated fifty years of marriage with his high school sweetheart, Janice Sylvis Christensen, this past April. Even though his work moved him across the nation, living in 12 states from New York to California, his heart remained in Nebraska. He was lifelong Husker who held season tickets as recently as 2014. He will be remembered as an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and of course, a diehard Husker.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Christensen Sr., and mother, Irma (Nelson) Christensen, both of Blair, and his sisters, Barbara Peterson and Mary Christensen.

He is survived by his wife, Janice; his two sons, Robert III and Charles Michael; two daughters, Gina Grant and Sira (Lissi) Weaver; eight grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and his brother, George Christensen, of Arkansas.

A private memorial service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, please send a gift in his name to the Wounded Warrior Project. He is a long-time supporter of the organization and would be happy to know the giving would continue. Donation cards can be sent to 484 Hammock Ave, Murrells Inlet, South Carolina 29576

Condolences can be made at www.burroughsfh.com.

Burroughs Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Murrells Inlet, SC is in charge of arrangements.
