John was baptized and confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Audubon, Iowa. He attended rural school near Viola then helped operate the family farm and drove truck for Williams Truck Lines. On May 5, 1953, John was inducted into the United States Army. During his tour of duty he served stateside in Colorado. He was honorably discharged on May 4, 1955, and returned to Audubon where he continued to farm and was employed as a truck driver for Bill Kauffman. On October 4, 1956, he was united in marriage to Darlene Evelyn Kroger Christensen in Harlan, Iowa. They blended with Darlene’s children, Connie and Danny, and were blessed with six more children: Shawna, Jennie, Shiela, Ray, Jay, and John, Jr. They operated the family farm northwest of Viola Center, Iowa. They grew row crops and raised livestock. After the family farm was sold, John then helped Nick Jensen and later Glen Juelsgaard operate their farms. In 1969, they moved into Audubon and he drove truck and shelled corn for Ben Kardell. He purchased the corn shelling business and also started his own trucking business. He started with a straight truck and then later bought semi’s where he hauled grain and livestock for many years until he retired in 2015 due to health issues. John was a member of the Hamlin Lutheran Church in Hamlin until it closed. During retirement John and Darlene spent several winters in Texas. He enjoyed bowling, but most of all he loved spending time with his grandchildren teaching them to fish and playing games with them. Preceding him in death was his wife, Darlene E. Hansen; his son, Danny Thomas Christensen; his brothers and sisters: Carl Nielsen, Vernon Hansen, Warren Hansen, Robert Hansen, Raymond Hansen, and Karen Hansen; four sisters-in-law; and five brothers-in-law. Survivors include his children: Connie, Shawna, Jennie and husband, Todd, Shiela and husband, Tom, Ray, Jay, and John and wife, Lisa; his eleven grandchildren: Tami, Todd and wife, Jacquie, Angel and significant other, Scott, Dan, Jenn and fiancé, Cameron, Kenneth and wife, Alayna, Jared and wife, Sadie, Bliss, Pamela and significant other, Sam, John and significant other, Hilaree, and Jordan; 23 great-grandchildren; 13 great-great grandchildren; his sisters-in-law: Beverly, Marilyn and Jeanette; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
