Christian Alvarado Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 31, 2015.
Christian Donn Alvarado

Loving Son, Brother, Father, Nephew, Cousin & Friend

Age 36 of Brooklyn Center, MN, passed away peacefully at home while watching Monday Night Football.

He was preceded in death by his father, Roberto Alvarado, Jr.; grandparents, Donald C. Hoglund, Lorayne M. Bellows and Roberto & Aida Alvarado, Sr.

Christian is survived by his mother, Judy Hoglund-Alvarado (Phil Estrem); brother, Roberto (Jennifer) Alvarado, III; children, Isaiah, Kylee and Kaylen; niece, Chloe Alvarado; nephew, Dylan Alvarado; significant other, Carri Wiken; uncles, Dan (Sue) and Randy (Rae); aunts, Mary, Jane (Marty) and Dawn Marie; cousins, Dane, Monica, Shelby & Chelsea; and by step-grandma, LaVonne "Mickey" Hoglund.

Christian lived life to its fullest at full throttle in the fast lane. He was fortunate to have lived his dream as a professional motorcycle racer. He was loud, short-fused, temperamental and high-strung… but he was also brutally honest, amazingly kind and a true competitor in every sense of the word. There wasn't a person who knew him that wasn't touched by his charisma and generosity. He will be forever loved and truly missed.

Ride in paradise…

My deepest condolences to the Alvarado family. Losing a loved one in death is one of life's most difficult challenges. At Hosea 13:14, God has promised to empty all the graves as we welcome back to life our loved ones. May you and your family find strength in that promise.

Not a day will go by Christian that I don't think of u. I still have my messages of how you would tell me its gonna be okay Cindy Chas is free now and this place sucks so be happy for him. How I would bring Dominic and Levi over to visit and you would just stare at Dom cuz he is Chas' mini me. You were a great person Christian you gave so many ppl great memories. You could be a lil excited at times but I knew you just worried a lot. I know you loved your babies and bless there hearts... you truly had an amazing woman she has a heart of gold and misses you like crazy. Ill always be close to her there's a reason her and I met and became friends. May God bless everyone and Christian don't be afraid to drop that elbow and keep doing what you love. Youll always be in my heart.. miss you tons!

You were the life of anything. A ride. A party. Whatever it was you were the loud one and nobody would want it different. I first met Christian after our buddy Tyron Somaiah passed away. Few days after I met Christian I had to go down to Laredo Texas as I am an over the road truck driver. Christian knew I was going down there. I happen to get down to Austin Texas and went to sleep. Something was going on in Waco Texas and Christian saw this on the tv and thought of me. He called me maybe a dozen times and texted and Facebook messages to me. All asking if I was ok and nowhere near Waco at the time. I happen to hear his call and answered. He simply said oh great you are ok Bosnian now I can sleep. Not many people I know for the longest time would do that. Christian did that just after meeting him. Christian cares and had love for everyone even if he sometimes didn't show it. I am sorry you had to leave so early. I will miss you and everything that came with knowing you. I know you have found peace. Rest easy now buddy. You got my love brother.

You drove me crazy, made me shake my head, made question your sanity and mine, made me smile, made me laugh myself to tears, and gave me some awesome photo ops!! Our world is a little darker, the track a little quieter, and our world and lives forever changed by your presence in it and your absence from it...I hope you know how loved you are and always will be and how profoundly deeply your absence will be felt. Give hugs and our love to Tommy, Dane, Sarah, Diana, and all the others we lost far too soon...Race in Peace my dear friend...I will miss you the rest of my days...now go show em how ya drag elbow through a turn!! xoxox

Sin, Words can't explain how much I miss you right now, I was literally sitting next to you on the couch just a few weeks back, lol I remember asking you if I could bring Caleb with me because I wanted you to meet him... And you hesitantly said yes! When we got there you greeted him like you would any family member! We will definitely miss you Brother but we won't ever forget you! My heart goes out to your family and I pray for them!

Condolencias para esta familia.
Nadie esta completamente preparado para la muerte de un ser querido. Incluso el hijo de Dios cedio a las lagrimas aun cuando sabia que iba a resucitar a su amigo Lazaro de la muerte. Es por eso que, "como el ultimo enemigo, la muerte ha de ser reducido a nada" (1 Corintios 15:26).

I have so many memories of spending time at Judy's house during the holidays. Most precious, and one I will always remember, is of Christian's generosity in driving me back and forth, and helping me up the stairs, so many years ago. Blessings to you and your family during this time.
