CHRISTOPHER BLAB Obituary

CHRISTOPHER JOHANNES BLABMay 1, 1990 ~ January 10, 2010 This past Sunday, our much loved son, Christopher, left his physical body and is now Home. His love surrounds us still, yet we will miss his adventurous spirit, his gentleness and his beautiful smile. Since graduating from Wimberley High School this past May, Christopher had been "living his dream" traveling around Europe with the money he earned along the way; meeting people and making so many new friends. He was alone on this journey, hence was one of the bravest people we know We feel so blessed that Christopher was part of our lives for 19 years and proud that our son lived his motto of "the world is amazing and there is so much to see and do, so follow your heart, follow your dream and live it"!! Christopher is survived by his parents, Key Gresham-Blab and Uwe Blab, siblings Laura and Stefan, all of Wimberley, TX Grandparents, Anne and Bill Gresham of Kingwood, TX Uncle Carter Gresham of New Braunfels, TX Aunt Karin Blab of London, England Aunt Judith Blab of Munich, Germany Preceded in death by grandparents Rita and Hans-Peter Blab of Munich, Germany Because of Christopher's gift, somewhere out there, our son's heart does beat on There will be a Memorial basketball court built in Christopher's name at Blue Hole Park, a place that he loved, so in lieu of flowers, please send a check to: Friends of Blue Hole ; memo line to read "Christopher Blab Memorial Fund". PO Box 1601 Wimberley, TX 78676 (or online: www. friendsofbluehole.org)`We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop' Mother Theresa.

Mr. Blab and Family-
The Evans Family was so saddened to hear the news of the passing of your son. Our prayers will continue to revolve around your family and the loss of Christopher.

How heavy are our hearts at the news of Chris' loss. There are no words to even express how we feel and just want you to know how sorry we are that this happened. We praise God in knowing Chris is, indeed, at Home, with the Father, and with many others we know we will see someday. As long-time friends of Chris' maternal grandparents, Anne and Bill Gresham, please know you will remain in our prayers with the hope that God's comfort will cover each of you during the hard days ahead.
With deepest sympathy

I talked to Chris often when he worked at Maui Wowie. He was a great young man and the world on earth will be a lesser place without him. Chris and I even talked about he and my son Drew possibly doing some traveling in Europe together. In the end, Chris was the type of young man who we oldsters could rely on to help save the earth from our human greed and lack of compassion. He will be sorely missed everywhere. Our sincere condolences to Key and Uwe Blab.

Key, we have never met, but I feel blessed to have come to know your parents and brother Carter during their visits to Georgia in recent years. I know that apples typically don't fall far from the tree, and because of that your loss has meaning to me. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Uwe-Key, I have no words to say to you about this, all I can say is my heat is sad and I have wonderful memories of Christopher as a boy. I always like the fact that Uwe would talk to his kids in german when they would call the office. It has been years but I think I am a better person to have known the Blab family..

Dear Key , Uwe, Laura & Stefan,
I just learned of your great sorrow. I know that you all already know that there are no condolences that can really console you so I will not try. But still I send my love and prayers. You have been blessed, as you deeply know, by the wonderful gift of Christopher and God will not turn from you in your hours of need. But I tell you things that you already know so knowing you, Key and Uwe, you will continue to benefit from and share that which Christopher taught you.
Sincerely, Nancy Easter-Shick Charleston, IL
