Our father loved to proudly talk about Christian’s football games and how well he played. It was a special time and bond they shared.

When Christian started a family, he worked hard to provide for them. He always ensured they were taken care of. Christian loved his children with all his heart; his son Marcus and his daughter Noelle were his world.
Christian is known for his bright contagious smile and witty personality. He had numerous friends throughout his life and will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Christian was a true Mama's Boy and Baby Brother, whom we loved and always protected. He was sure to always tell our family he loved us, he was honest with a heart of gold. We will forever miss his stories, his laugh, his jokes and his beautiful, contagious smile.
