I still can't believe that you're gone. I think about you every single day. I never told you how important you were in my life and that will bother me forever. I just hope you are listening every time I pray. I Love You and I will never forget what a wonderful person you were to everyone. There is no one else like you and there never will be. You will be in my heart forever. To Christian's family and friends, I think about you and pray for you everyday and I always will. God Bless

I cant believe your gone. Everyday i keep thinking im going to see you one day but i still cant get over that you are realy actully gone. You were my homeboy since 6th grade and i remeber when i first met you and jacob leach and yall shoved me in a trash bin during a play.lol. Then the first time i came to your house you had a fat suit and would be running into post and jumping off your roof into the bushes. Then i would try to teach you how to skateboard and you would get so mad and throw you board on the ground and stuff. I just wish you could be hear so we could skate. But when i get up their with you me and you going to grind the stairway to heavin my friend. R.I.P

I cant belive that your gone. You are such an amazing friend. I remeber in geometry you were the one who made me attend class you were the only reason why I even came to that class but that was just an effect that you had on everyone especially me. Christian I just want you to know that you will be missed dearly. Life will never be the same cuz we dont see that great smile that you had anymore... We will see eachother again but untill then love ya and see at the crossroads.... Love Nicole

I know my son would want me to write something. He was devastated to hear of Christians passing. I felt his pain and I held him close and all he could say was "not Christian". It is very hard to loose a friend and even more difficult to loose a child. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and ALL his friends. May God grant you peace and comfort you through this difficult time. God bless you all and keep you safe.

Christian what words can explain how much I'm going to miss you? I remember the last day I went to Collins. When you came up to wish me luck in college and say "Good bye" I wish I could have found the words to say, "Its not good bye, ill see you later." I well see you again one day Christian. My heart and love goes out to your family. See you later my FRIEND.

Hey you. I dont even know where to start. You were such an amazing person, you always knew how to make people smile no matter what they were going through. But like Kara said, God only takes the best. I remember sitting at lunch w/ you at Collins, you would always have lots of Jello cups. lol. I miss you sweety. See ya again someday. Keep a lookout on us!
"...And when im gone, just carry on, dont mourn
rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
just know that im looking down on you smiling
and i didnt feel a thing, so baby dont feel no pain
just smile back."

Christian- It's so hard to believe that you are actually gone-Words can not even begin to express my feelings. I just want you and your family to know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We definitely had our good times in food nutrition and theater arts. You were always the sweetest and funniest person around. You were there to cheer me up whether I needed it or not. Some how you always brought a smile to my face and made me laugh with your montone voice.Christian you will be missed dearly but you will never be forgotten. You touched so many peoples lives and were always there for them when they needed you-no matter what the situation was. Even though you are gone physically we all have a little bit of you in us and our memories together will last forever-longer than any one person will ever be around. Christian watch over all of us and we will all be praying for you. I love you honey!! You better save a spot for me up there.and tell my mom "I love her and I miss her all the time." Maybe there you could make me and my mom some of your world famous Kool-Aid (definitely good times in class). So im not gonna say "goodbye" but I will say "see you again." I love you Christian!
To the Family- I want you all to know what a wonderful, sweet, and charming young man you have raised. Christian was an angel and maybe thats why it was his time to go- Maybe God needed one of his angels so he chose Christian. Also know that everyone will always be here for all of you.Thoughts and prayers go out to the family-the ones Christian loves the most!
Remember the good times- after all thats what Christian would want.

hey christian. i dont know where to start. all i know is your in a better place now. like kim told me. God only takes the best and you were the best. anyone that ever had the pleasure of knowing you would agree with me.its so weird cause it seems like just the other day i was almost a part of your family. which im sure i got annoying after while. i was always the jealous type and i never wanted to let you go! i sometimes would worry about you. i wanted you to be making good decisions and be happy with them. but now i dont have to worry anymore cause i know your safe. im blessed to have loved you and your family. no matter what your family has gone through yall were always there for each other and loved each other. thats why i loved being around them. they make you feel welcome the second you walk in the door. just like you. all i have to say is that i love you soooooo much. this week has been the hardest week of my life and i know its not over. till i can be there up with you and tell you myself (again) i love you, take care of mikey and my great-grandma too.
