Edwin "Ed" Christopherson

September 22, 1955 — December 26, 2019

Edwin “Ed” Christopherson, age 64 of Austin, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 26, 2019 at Good Samaritan Society – Comforcare in Austin. Ed was born September 22, 1955 in Austin, Minnesota, to Lyle and Elaine (Jensen) Christopherson. On October 22, 1977, he married Debra Headington in Austin. Together they raised three children. Ed worked for Hormel Foods in Austin and retired in 2015 after a 33-year career. Ed cherished his relationships with his family, friends and co-workers. His big personality always lightened the mood and put a smile on everyone’s face, everyone knew when “Big Ed” had arrived. He enjoyed golfing, taking care of his yard/flowers, fishing and washing his truck. You could find him most summer nights watching the Minnesota Twins, but what really brought joy to Ed was spending time with his wife, three boys and his six grand kids.
