159:. In 2022, he became the honoree of an endowed faculty chair at the University of Colorado. The funds for the chair came from an anonymous donor who was a former student of Gustafson's. The chair will be known as the Karl Gustafson Endowed Chair of Quantum Engineering and will be embedded in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, at Gustafson's request. Gustafson proposed that the chair be part of the College of Engineering in hopes that the faculty who hold the chair might have a "fundamental breakthrough in some way other than just writing papers," according to Gustafson.

After surviving a hemorrhagic stroke in 2016, Gustafson wrote a second memoir,

Gustafson also had many interests outside of academia. As a young rock climber in
Colorado in the 1950s, Gustafson and colleagues were at the forefront of the sport of free climbing and completed several first ascents of local rock faces and mountain ridges in the area (North Face of The Matron,

that was published in three editions in the United States and in various versions in three foreign countries. Gustafson also published academic books in other areas of mathematics and in related subjects such as
