Christian's passion in life was in his dreams. Our brother loved to spend time laughing and smiling amongst family and friends. As a young child he did not like sports, but as he got older, he followed the Chicago Cubs and Bears. He loved music and art and drew as he worked. His real passion was travel. He loved cruises and visiting different places. He was keen on the ocean and the Caribbean. Theses trips and dreams helped him work towards his goal of moving to St. Thomas. Christian loved his routine, and the simple things in life, but the islands, his family, his cat Chiba and friends were what he valued and loved.
He was optimistic despite hardships in life. Christian was resolute in trying to do what is right. The years of helping his father with his health and sacrificing his career and personal life was who he was. He gave and did not take. He embraced the love for those around him at his own expense.
