Christopher R. Ellefson

Christopher Robert Ellefson, 46, of Beaver Falls, passed away unexpectedly on December 13, 2022. Born on September 4, 1976, in East Liverpool, Ohio, Chris was the son of Debra Ratkovich Ellefson, and the late Robert T. Ellefson. Chris loved his friends and his family. He loved all music, but especially loved Grateful Dead. He was always willing to help anyone in need, and had the most perfectly timed joke deliveries. Chris loved poetry and books. He always said “You never regret the things you did, but only the things you didn’t have the courage to do.” And Chris had the courage to live and love as such a free spirit. He was so loved and will be sadly missed by his family and friends he’s made along the way. As Chris would say “What a long strange trip it’s been” Along with his mother, he will be sadly missed by the love of his life, Autumn Edwards; his cherished daughter, Riley J. Ellefson; son, Ryan Ellefson; brother, Dustin (Laura) Ellefson; sister, Katie (Jillie) Ellefson; grandmother, Ann Ratkovich; as well as several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Friends will be received on December 16, 2022 in the Noll Funeral Home Inc., 333 Third Street, Beaver, PA 15009, from 5pm until the time of service at 7pm.
