Christopher David Lindner, age 40, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on November 14, 2025. He was born on May 3, 1985, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a devoted husband to Tabitha Lindner and a loving father to Kai, Callum, Talia, and Koda.
Christopher was kind-hearted, and a devoted follower of Christ Jesus. His fun-loving and adventurous spirit was contagious – a joy he carried into every area of his life. A dedicated husband and father, Christopher poured his heart into both his family and loved ones.
Christopher graduated from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy and attended Elon University. In 2009, Christopher and his brother, Carl, built Seraphim Ranch, a testament to his love for hunting and the great outdoors. Adams County was his home away from home — the place where he felt most at peace and most like himself.
Through his love for soccer, Christopher was instrumental in helping his family launch FC Cincinnati in 2015. Most recently, he and his wife, Tabitha, funded the construction of the Christopher D. Lindner Family Soccer Complex at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. His hope was that it would be “a place where dreams will be realized and lifelong memories created.”
Christopher embraced his calling as a husband and a father. He spent his days caring for his home and family, playing soccer with his children, and savoring the simple moments of life. He was an extraordinary father who was fully present in every activity and cherished every moment with his kids. Despite the many demands on his time, Christopher never failed to shower his wife with love, affection, and unwavering devotion.
Christopher was a man who loved the Lord Christ Jesus first, adored his wife deeply, and lived his life as an example of integrity, kindness, and generosity. He brought laughter everywhere he went and left a lasting impact on everyone who had the blessing of knowing him.
His hobbies and interests painted a vivid picture of his spirit for adventure. Christopher loved hiking, fishing, skateboarding, snowboarding, soccer, and hunting. Many weekends were spent at his home in Adams County, surrounded by nature and sharing the activities he loved most with his wife and children. His laughter, his fun-loving nature, and his passion for life touched everyone he met. His zeal for Christ Jesus was contagious, and his kindness had the power to shift the atmosphere in every room he entered.
Christopher is survived by his beloved wife, Tabitha (Schadler) Lindner; children Kai, Callum, Talia, and Koda; parents Martha and Carl H. Lindner III; siblings Blake Lindner (David) Thompson, Carl H. Lindner IV, and Matthew Lindner; grandmother, Edyth Lindner; loving father-in-law, Troy Schadler, and the many friends and extended family members who will miss him dearly.
The funeral service will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Lindner Center of HOPE, a cause close to the family’s heart.
There is comfort in knowing Christopher is in heaven and that his legacy lives on through his wife, children, family, friends and the memories that will be cherished forever.
