Christopher DeHaven, age 51, a resident of Kenosha, died August 1st, 2021, at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa. Chris was born on June 12th, 1970 in Kenosha to Morgan and Suzanne (Upright) DeHaven. He attended local schools and graduated from Mary D. Bradford High School in 1988. Chris also attended Gateway and U.W. Parkside for bartending and management. He enjoyed music, learning new instruments and playing in his band, the Roosevelt Dolls. Chris was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers and enjoyed going to games. He also enjoyed golfing and tried to go every week as well as shooting pool. Chris loved being around people, that is probably why he loved being a bartender/manager at the Boathouse so much. He had a heart of gold and always went out of his way to make sure everyone was ok. His greatest joy was his daughter Harmony who he loved to do adventures with and have by his side.
He was preceded in death by, his mother, Suzanne Bojesen; a brother, Steven Bojesen and his niece, Aerielle McManus.
Chris is survived by, his step father, Mike (Beverly) Bojesen; his daughter, Harmony DeHaven; two brothers, Michael (Jackie) Bojesen Jr. and Morgan DeHaven; two sisters, Jennifer DeHaven and Katy DeHaven and his favorite nephew Kail Martin as well as other family and many friends.
A Celebration of Life for Chris is scheduled for 5 P.M till 7P.M on Thursday August 12th 2021 at the Boat House Pub and Eatery (4917-7th Avenue). There will be a lantern release at the lake shortly after.
The family would like to thank Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, especially the SICU for doing everything they could and a very big thanks to his nurse Crystal. Also, a special thank you to Jim Matzur, the Boat House and to Casey Family Options Funerals and Cremations.
