    Dennis Wayne Christofferson

    November 29, 1946 - May 31, 2019

    Dennis Wayne (Chris) Christofferson 11-29-1946 ~ 5-31-2019 Chris was born in Salem, Oregon to George Fremont and Lola Bernice Barnwell Christofferson. He attended Parkersville School, Gervais and North High Schools and OSU. His family raised all kinds of berries and cherries. Growing up he did all sorts of farm work. He helped his family on a big job landscaping the area surrounding 23 miles of the freeway in the Roseburg area. He then went to college to earn a degree in Ornamental Horticulture, working at a frozen food shipping plant to pay for his school expenses. After working for Salem Parks Department, he started his own business, and was a landscape contractor for over 25 years, making our world more beautiful. He loved animals, especially dogs, hunting, fishing, boating, leather work, woodlands, pickup trucks, old cars, tractors and boats. He is survived by his wife; Elizabeth, daughter; Kimberly James, grandsons; Cyrus and Colton James, Step grandchildren; Michael Ash, Rose Daniel and Patience Doyle; brother; Gary Christofferson and wife Darla, sister; Linda Warren and husband David, and two nephews and two nieces. He will be sorely missed by family, neighbors, his many friends and business associates for he was a generous, kind and good man. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Simon Cornwell Colonial Chapel in Woodburn on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 2:00 pm. Arrangements entrusted to Simon Cornwell Colonial Chapel. www.cornwellcolonial.com
