Cristian Alcantara
May 31,87 - Sept 19,25
Chicago IL
Cristian was born and raised in a small town in Mexico called Chontalcoatlán. Coming from a humble family he was very caring and kind. Cristian had an ora about him that was magnetic. You would instantly be drawn to him by his carisma. Such an easy person to get along with and a faithful friend. His laugh would captivate you in like a moth to a flame. All he had to do was smile and you would always want to be by his side. Cristian has three sisters and three brother which he loved deeply. He had many nieces and nephews which he loved as if they were his own. His mother was the light of his eye. Anyone who knew Cris knew family was number one to him. During his adolescents he made the hard choice to leave his family and come to the U.S. in hopes of providing his loved ones a better life. After a few years of going thru a few jobs he finally found his dream job. American Airlines was more than just an income, it was a way he could also travel back and forth to Mexico and get to enjoy to see his family a lot more often. I as his partner, had the great honor of knowing him for twelve years. Twelve years of pure love. Twelve years of pure happiness. Together we have a daughter Chloe and son Calvin which ended up giving us grandchildren. We were a very happy furry family. Once he began to get sick I knew I would always be there to take care of him no matter what till my last breath. Little did I know he would end up being taking care of me from the sky. We filled our hearts with nothing but joy till the very end. Cris was an angel walking around this earth whose time was to return to heaven. I'd like to open the doors to all who would like to join us on celebrating the life of an angel. For those who like to join us in wearinge a touch of pink in his honor feel free to.
* Cristian will be returning back to his motherland.
*Flowers won't be able to travel with him.
*IF you wish to send flowers to his service in Mexico or any donation. There will be a box at the service, or zelle / apple pay. We appreciate all your love and support!

Cristian nació y creció en Chontalcoatlán, un pequeño pueblo de México. Proveniente de una familia humilde, era muy cariñoso y amable. Cristian tenía un don magnético. Su carisma te atraía al instante. Era una persona muy cercana y un amigo fiel. Su risa te cautivaba como una polilla a la llama. Bastaba con sonreír para que siempre quisieras estar a su lado. Cristian tenía tres hermanas y tres hermanos a quienes amaba profundamente. Tenía muchos sobrinos y sobrinas a quienes quería como si fueran suyos. Su madre era la luz de sus ojos. Cualquiera que conociera a Cris sabía que la familia era lo primero para él. Durante su adolescencia, tomó la difícil decisión de dejar a su familia y venir a Estados Unidos con la esperanza de brindarles a sus seres queridos una vida mejor. Después de unos años de experimentar en diferentes trabajos, finalmente encontró el trabajo de sus sueños. American Airlines era más que un simple ingreso; era una forma de que él también pudiera viajar a México y disfrutar de ver a su familia mucho más a menudo. Yo, como su pareja, tuve el gran honor de conocerlo durante doce años. Doce años de puro amor. Doce años de pura felicidad. Juntos tenemos una hija, Chloe y un hijo, Calvin que nos dio nietos. Éramos una familia peluda muy feliz. Cuando empezó a enfermarse, supe que siempre estaría ahí para cuidarlo, pase lo que pase, hasta mi último aliento. Nunca imaginé que él me cuidaría desde el cielo. Llenamos nuestros corazones de alegría hasta el final. Cris era un ángel que caminaba por esta tierra y cuyo tiempo era regresar al cielo. Me gustaría abrir las puertas a todos los que quieran unirse a nosotros para celebrar la vida de un ángel. Si desean unirse a nosotros para vestirse de rosa en su honor, no duden en hacerlo.
* Cristian regresará a su tierra natal. *No se podrán llevar flores con él.
*Si desea enviar flores para su servicio en México o cualquier donación, habrá una caja en el servicio o Zelle/Apple Pay. ¡Agradecemos todo su apoyo!
