Christian was such a showman. My favorite was in high school. He asked our teacher ( a priest BTW) if the hung jury in “ 12 angry men” was really hung. The priest adeptly answered “ I know what you mean mr. Lynch”. Christian also used to enter the classroom as if he were riding a horse. Funny entertaining kid was Chris. God bless.

May the love of family and friens carry you through your grief. From a friend of a friend.
Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Christian, I can still remember riding big wheels on Bantry Way, and I'm certain I've got a "Two Live Hungba" cassette somewhere. You were an original. I'll be thinking of you.

To the Lynch Family,
I was saddened to hear that Christian passed away. We were good friends when we were kids and remained friends through the years. Although I didn't see him much, when I did it was like we saw each other the day before. He was easy to get along with and a great person. I'm sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Liz, Tom and Jess, our thoughts are with you all. What can we say? Very sad. Miss you all.

Christian is now in heaven watching over family and friends. Christian and Amanda gave us an unbelievable gift from God, in Ava. We would talk and laugh about Ava's antics, and without him, there would be no Cailyn or Ava. I need to say "THANK YOU CHRISTIAN, AND GOD BLESS YOU". Please help the people that have been left behind.

My heart is broke over the loss of Christian. I would thoroughly enjoy our heart to heart talks in town while he was hard at work. I am going to miss that handsome smiling face. May God rest his soul and may his family and friends find comfort in fond memories of him. God bless all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

In this time of fevered weeping, screaming for what now is lost, A harrowed soul so now is sleeping, freed from storms in which it tossed.
With silver clouds and solemn tears, and rainbows that now lead the way
Wings and halo have appeared, an angel has been born today.
So let us now accept this plight, and turn it into joyous laughter
For he now dwells within the light, and will watch us forever after.

My prayers are with you all.

I fondly remember Christian as a toddler, who newly moved to Bantry Way, next door to his wonderful grandmother Helen, his uncle Jimmy and around the corner from Nancy and her children. Christian would come across to where I was sitting, climb up on my lap and "share" my yogurt. His mother Liz, was meticulous in seeing that his room was scrubbed (I mean scrubbed) down each day as he had allergies. [When I would visit, I would always sneak Christian out of his crib, much to his mother's chagrin.] His father, Tom was overjoyed with Christian's girls. There is a great deal of love and support in that family. Ricky, Andrew and Dave Lane will miss their lifelong neighbor, as will I always miss my "little buddy" Christian. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
