In addition, Herbert’s statement said that Christensen “was one of a kind and will be sorely missed.”
“Mac Christensen was a true gentleman and a successful entrepreneur. He loved and cared about everyone and everyone loved him in return. Everyone was his friend ... He cared about how you looked on the outside — but more importantly he cared about how you looked on the inside. He was known for his kindness, his service and his charitable giving,” the statement also read.
