(Pa to those that loved him) enjoyed life! He loved to play golf so much that he was even known to play in the snow! He also enjoyed hunting (as long as it wasn't too cold outside) and fishing. Pa loved planting and working in his garden. He really enjoyed picking his guitar and singing the old hymns and country songs! Pa was known to make the best pies and donuts! Pa was loved and will be greatly missed by his son, J.C (Patty) Christian, Jr.; granddaughters, Shonda (Aaron) Nix and Brook (Jason) Hall; great-grandchildren, Lauren, Emalee, Jack Nix and Aidan, Ainsley, Emi, Izzy and Ian Hall as well as several nieces and nephews and many other family and friends.
