Christian was born in Poquoson on May 30, 1946, and was a lifelong resident. He was self-employed for many years as an equipment operator and commercial truck driver.
Christian was an avid sports fan and particularly loved watching NASCAR and the Hokies. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, spending time with his family and his "home away from home" in Fairfield, N.C. He was a loving Daddy and loyal friend.

"Libby" Griebel and her husband, Benny; six nephews, Jamie, Garland, Justin, and Starkey Moore, and Benjamin and Christopher Griebel; his ex-wife and friend, Nancy Anderson; and last, but certainly not least, his faithful four-legged companion, Lucky.
