Adam Paul Christensen joined the angels in heaven on March 20, 2018. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on February 9, 1983 to Glenna Marie and Paul Nels Christensen. His greatest joy was being a father. He had two children: Maximus Lochlin, age 8, and Cynthia Collette (C.C.), age 16. Adam was also a loving uncle, adored by his nieces and nephews.
He grew up in Salt Lake City, where he attended Olympus High School, Salt Lake Community College and the University of Utah. He studied computer science. He planned to finish his post-secondary education and pursue a career in substance abuse counseling, as he felt he could be of service to the community. Adam worked as a carpenter. He took great pride in his work and he was admired by his coworkers for his excellent character and positivity.
He was training for a Moab triathlon. He also planned to accomplish his goal of finishing 20 of the best hikes in Southern Utah this year. Adam was looking forward to participating in an off-road adventure race in Oregon with his brother. He restored classic cars and he loved reading literature.

Poem by Mary Eyre
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
