Raiders.com has been collecting anecdotes from former teammates. This was my favorite:
Raider Legend Jim Plunkett was Christensen’s quarterback during with the Raiders.
“I enjoyed playing with Todd and he came out of nowhere to become a premiere tight end in the National Football League. He was my go-to guy in so many instances, especially around the goal line. He was a great family man, he was a guy who could catch the ball no matter where it was thrown and he really produced when he was playing for the Raiders, there’s no doubt about it. Obviously, we are all going to miss him.
“There a lot of stories that I recall but one that I will share is that we used to have a blocking scheme and Todd had to get a “go” call from the fullback to go out on a (pass) route instead of block. So many times he would release and go out on a route without getting the “go” call and leave me in dire straits so that I would have to throw it to him. He would always come back to the huddle and tell me he thought he heard the ‘go’ call. That was one of the reasons he got so many passes.”"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Horrible news. I have great memories of watching Raiders games with my dad and my dad telling me about Marc Wilson and Todd Christensen and how great they were at BYU.
Treveor Matich quotes some David O. McKay here. Nice thoughts pertaining to BYU and family:
