Mackenzie “Mack” Andrew Christenson
On Tuesday, March 2, 2021 Mackenzie “Mack” Andrew Christenson passed away at the age of 25.
Mack was born on April 10, 1995 in Evanston, IL. He is the son of Dean and Molly Christenson, brother of Abby and Libby Christenson, and uncle of Liam Christenson. He graduated from Stewartville High School in 2013. After graduation, he continued his passion for cooking at Le Cordon Bleu and later joined the Marine Corps in 2015. Following his honorable discharge from the military, Mack worked at Eagle View Bar and Grill and was currently employed at Kwik Trip. He was also a proud member of the American Legion Post 164.
Mack loved to hunt, fish, play soccer, frisbee golf, and hang out with his friends and family, especially his nephew, Liam. Mack was a hard-working guy, devoted truck owner, and very proud of his “well-groomed” beard. He enjoyed working alongside his co-workers, who quickly became friends, throughout his different jobs. He had a vast love for animals which could be seen by the time he spent on his grandparent’s farm and caring for his fish aquarium. Mack loved to play video games, which allowed him to stay in contact with many friends from all over the country.
Mack was a humble man and was known for his quick wit, infectious smile, and kind compassionate spirit. He was the type of guy that would give you the shirt off his back and did on many occasions. His huge heart had the ability to reach near and far through everyone he met.
Mack is survived by his parents, Dean Christenson and Molly Christenson (Thomas Passe); sisters, Abigail and Elizabeth Christenson; stepsister, Adriahna Hatz; nephew, Liam Christenson; grandparents, George and Diane Christenson, Irene and Fred Burmeister, Gene and Joyce Passe; aunts and uncles, Grant and Katie Christenson, George “Skip” and Sara Christenson, Scott and Annie Haley, Trapper and Krista Burmeister, Emily Burmeister, Jon and Melissa Passe, and Mike and Amy Sladek; and many cousins and friends.
The memorial service for Mack will be held at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 6, 2021 in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home with Rev. Byron Meline officiating. Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Military honors will follow the conclusion of the memorial service. Burial will be in the Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery in Preston, MN at a later date.

Mack and I served together in the Marine Corps, but more importantly he was friend. Mack was always the type of person to have a smile on his face in any situation, he was always the one person to make any bad situation bearable with his endless supply of jokes. Never in my life have I met someone who was able to find light in every bad situation. I am grateful to of had him as a friend in my life and I will never forget the memories we have had together.
Molly and family,
I feel very blessed to have spent time with your family and Mack through school and soccer. My heart breaks for you all and wishing you peace when you are ready. Sending you love, support, and prayers.

I know there are no words to describe how you are feeling. The Meyers family offers you prayers, hugs, and the knowledge that you are loved. May you find comfort in each other; and in time peace in your hearts. We stand strong beside you if you need us.
Love Debbie and family.
I served with Mack for many years in the Marine Corps. He was always one of my guys that would make light of a bad situation, no matter what it was. Over the many years, Mack and I had become good friends. We went to bonfires together, had many drinks together, and shared many other memories together. I will never forget these times. I am glad to say he was my friend and I will see him again on the other side. Semper Fi and Til’ Valhalla

Mack was another brother to me growing up. Mack and my brother were best friends early on and he walked into our house like he lived there. He specifically would walk into our house and eat our fruit and say “I know you’re not going to eat it so I will”, which was correct. Even when we were all fully grown and we would run into each other he would greet me with the biggest hug and smile like time never went by. He will forever be remembered as another brother and great friend to our family.
Molly and Dean my heart breaks for the loss of your son Mack. May you find comfort in the memories you shared and know he is now an angel of God looking down on you. May you find strength among all who know and care about you and may your faith in God carry you through.
My heart breaks for all of you,. I am so very sorry to hear of Mack's passing. We will keep you in our prayers.
Our deepest sympathy to Mack's family. So sorry for your loss
It was truly a pleasure to have known Mack. Our family has a lot of great memories of him and he will me missed dearly.
Sending our deepest sympathy to all of the family. May all of your memories get you through this difficult time. Thinking of you all Lori, Malorie and Trisha Miller
Mack was one of my first friends when I came to Stewartville in 3rd grade and we stayed friends till the end. I remember all the times we slept over at each other’s house listening to music and playing video games all night. I wish my daughter got the chance to meet him. He will live on in all of our memories.
