Christian Messner Obituary

Christian Messner

October 22, 1990 - June 6, 2025

Wichita, Kansas - Christian "Blake" Messner, our loving son, grandson, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend, passed away on June 6, 2025. Blake was a bright, fun, loving, caring, sensitive, and artistic young man. He loved art, traveling, sports, animals, and most of all, spending time with his family. As an uncle, he was a natural and always eager to play with the kids the moment he walked through the door. He had a natural gift for making people laugh-- whether from a quick-witted remark or well-timed glance. Blake is now in the company of those he loved and missed-his mother, Lori Messner; his grandfather, Roe Messner; and his aunt, Robin Messner. He is survived and forever missed by his parents, Ron and Britt Messner; his grandmother, RuthAnn Messner; his siblings Chandler Messner, Britton Messner, Brooke (John) Senseman, Jake Leatherman; and was loved by many other aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and four-legged, furry siblings. We will miss his striking blue eyes, impeccably styled hair, and fun loving presence, but we carry his love with us always, awaiting the time we'll be together once again. Funeral service at 10:00 AM, Saturday, June 21, at St. George, Orthodox Christian Cathedral, 7515 E 13th St N, Wichita, KS. Graveside service immediately following at Andover Cemetery, 2438 N Andover Rd, KS. In honor of Blake, memorial donations may be made to Robin's House Foundation, c/o Messner Contracting Group, 550 N 159th St E, Suite 309, Wichita, KS 67230. Robin's House Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Blake liked the casino... we talked about our (wins & losses) often. Of course not so much about our losses (Lol). I found this "win" text from Blake from back in October. I don't think Blake will mind if I share it with everyone but I'm sure he'll let me know the next time I get to see him again!

Blake was my friend. Like me, he had been through a few battles but his heart was good & pure. I feel fortunate to have known you Blake! I will miss you very much!

It was always love brother. You put me on to Rush and Pink Floyd, always my way home from the function. I will always remember the good times Blake. Too many memories with you and the crew, some too crazy to speak on. Wish we could have got together again just to run it back. Love you brother
