Richard Christen was one of the most forward and honest people you could ever meet. He was blunt, and he was harsh. But he was honest. He would be the first person there for you if you needed him. And he wouldn't be afraid to be there to put you in your place, if that's what you needed. He was more than ten foot tall and bulletproof. He had a heart matched by no one. He was a fantastic cook, an amazing artist, a wonderful son, a loving husband, an incredible uncle, a great soldier, and so much more. Richard was born January 26, 1961 in Rockford, IL to Roger and Barbara (Dahmann) Christen. He passed away January 26, 2019 in Oklahoma City. His life was complete when he married Jess. Richard enjoyed his work as a tattoo artist. Memorial services will be held Tuesday, February 5, 3:00pm at Mercer-Adams Chapel.
