STOUGHTON - Jeffrey “Animal” Christianson of Stoughton, Wis., age 60, lost his battle with ALS on Friday, June 25, 2021. He was born in Racine, Wis., on June 14, 1961, to Arthur Christianson and Gert (Whaley) Christianson.

He is also survived by several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Christianson; and mother-in-law, Doris Henderson.
