Chuck married Karen Degnan on May 9, 1964, and they were blessed with four children. Following high school, Chuck went to architecture school and later used his talents to design and build his home.

He was the proud owner of Christianson Feed Mill in Wauzeka and was the second generation of three who owned and operated it.

Chuck had a deep passion for the outdoors and felt most at home when he was fishing on the river near his cabin. He bred and raised Labradors for many years and loved going duck hunting. Chuck was a weekend golfer who didn’t have much success on the course, but had fun doing it.  He was also an avid Wisconsin sports fan who looked forward to watch the Brewers, Badgers, and Packers. Chuck proudly sponsored a local softball team for years and was honored with a “Friend of The Game” award later in life. He will be remembered by his family as a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.
