In loving memory of Phillip Christiansen. ''Link'' 1959 - 2025. 66 years, of love and mischiefness. Today we remember and honour our dear freind, Phillip Christiansen. Known simply as ''Link.'' Link was one of a kind. A fisherman at heart. He had a deep respect for the rhythm of life. The calm of open waters. And the beauty of nature. He was also a man who loved to stir the waters with laughter. A practical joker through and through. He had a grin that said ''watch out'' And a heart that said ''you are safe here.'' I was privilaged to serve my engineering apprenticeship alongside him. A few of us got up to more mischief than we should probably admit to. But those years shaped us, challenged us, and forged frindships that run deep. He wasn't someone we just worked with, he was a brother in arms. A constant presence through thick and thin. What made Link truly special, was his unavering intergity. He walked through life with sincerity and honesty. You always knew where you stood with him. Link was someone who would always have your back no matter what. A man who meant what he said, did what he promised, and loved with open arms. He is a devoted father, brother, son, and a freind to many. A light shining brightly in countless lives. His laughter still echoes in our memories, and his wisdom lingers in our hearts. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, courage. And the kind of joy that comes from being fully, and unapologetically himself. Goodbye for now Link. You were a gift to the world, and i am, we are, forever grateful for the years we shared. The memories we made, and the love we held. May you find peaceful shores and endless warm waters, to cast your line. You will alway be loved. Always be remembered. And never far from our hearts. With much love Your old mate Jack, Raymond O'Hara
