Racine – Christopher Michael Dresen, age 36, passed away at Ascension All Saints Medical Center on Monday, April 15, 2024. Always helping others, even in death, Chris enhanced the lives of many with his selfless gift of vital organ donation on the afternoon he died.
The middle son of a triplet birth, Chris was born in West Palm Beach, Florida on July 26, 1987 to Robin and Ilda (nee: Renteria) Dresen. He was a 2006 graduate of William Horlick High School. On August 6, 2016, Chris was united in marriage with the love of his life, Jacklyn “JJ” Christiansen.
With a tireless work ethic, Chris worked two jobs: DHL as a lead and UPS as a loader. Gaming, deer hunting and fishing were a few of his hobbies. Above all, Chris was a loving & devoted husband, father, son & brother who loved spending time with all of his family.
Surviving are his wife, Jacklyn “JJ”; their children, Christopher Michael Dresen, Jr. (age 14), Ariana Skye Dresen (age 11) and Ava Rayne Dresen (age 4); mom & dad, Ilda and Robin Dresen; brothers, Joshua Dresen, Joseph (Taryn) Dresen and Bradley (Shawna) Dresen; JJ’s parents, Peter (Denean) Christiansen and Teresa (Rich Anderson) Christiansen; sister, Erin Christiansen; nieces & nephews, Noah, Liam, Aubree & Stella Dresen and Xhaivier Christiansen; God-son, Rudy Renteria; God-daughter, Meadow Ferraro; faithful canine & feline family companions, Colt & Lilly; many aunts, uncles, cousins & friends – too numerous to mention all by name. Chris was greeted in Heaven by his grandparents, Rodolfo & Sarah Renteria and James J. & Bernita Dresen.
