Hunter Bernard Christensen
Hunter Bernard Christensen, 22, of Kellogg, MN, died December 30, 2022, as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Hunter was born on August 8, 2000, in Rochester, MN, the son of Cheryl Costello and Daniel Christensen. He attended St. Felix Elementary and Wabasha-Kellogg schools.
Hunter was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed being around the Mississippi River. He loved duck and goose hunting, fishing, swimming, four-wheeling, and boating. He enjoyed movies and gaming. He also loved animals, especially his beloved dog, Rango.
Hunter loved dairy farming. He was known for putting in 60-70 hours a week at his farming jobs. He worked so hard to achieve his goals of owning a home and truck, which he had just accomplished. He was adventurous, loved to have fun, and was kind to everyone. Hunter was a very generous person and even upon his death he was an organ donor. He had a true heart of gold.
Hunter is survived by his parents, Cheryl Costello of Kellogg, MN, and Daniel Christensen of Wisconsin; his sister Cierra Christensen and nephew Owen Costello of Kellogg; his maternal grandmother, Audrey Costello, of Rochester; Aunts Lisa Costello (Kiva Stevens) of Chandler, AZ, who cared for Hunter while his mother was on a military deployment, Mary Costello of Rochester; Linda Sarkar of Rochester; and Uncle Thomas (Mary Kay) Costello of Rochester.

Hunter’s Family,
My deepest condolences extended to you all. I personally didn’t know Hunter, but my boyfriend Mike used to work with him at Nortons. Through Mike and Dave, I got to know about Hunter. Mama, be proud of the son you raised. In his short life, he accomplished so much. He was small in stature, but enormous in endurance, humor and work ethic. I don’t need to tell you all this, I know you already know this and so much more. I hope you find comfort in knowing that he remained true to the person he was. I know that nothing I can say will glue the shattered pieces of your heart back together. Please believe me when I say this, from one mother to another, I do know how you feel, and I know that albeit an impossible dream right now, you will get through this, one day at a time, one breath at a time.
Hugs to you, and your entire family, Hunter left a legacy on the hearts of all who took the time to get to know him!! ❤️
Love and Hugs
