Ivan passed peacefully on May 21, 2022, at his residence with his loving wife Doris by his side.

Ivan was the second oldest of seven children. He is survived by his wife Doris Christiansen; his brother Gunner; two sisters Lillie and Elsie; five children Ken, Gina, Dana, Lance, and Brent, thirteen grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

Ivan's legacy is vast, he was a philosopher and a mentor, and he was passionate about life, his work, and getting things done. His imprint is a part of all that knew him, and his humor will always be remembered.

With immense love and sore hearts, we say farewell. Ivan is sure to be enjoying a warm homecoming with his parents Vilhem and Jenny; his two brothers Ben and Tom; and Sister Vera. Oh, and let's not forget Sarge and Mugsy!

A Private Service will be celebrated by family and friends.
