Christian was my mailman, he was such a pleasant young man, always had a smile on his face. He asked to take a picture of my cat walking on a harness once. He was great at his job. I´m so very sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family and friends.

He was a gentle soul. He never complained and always took a moment to say hello. May he rest in peace. You will be missed, Christian.

Cristian was our mail Mai. He was always lugging around packages my dad ordered, but he never complained even when I said I was sorry. He would just smile and say no problem. He always took time to say hi and pet my dog if she was out. He seemed like a wonderful guy and I´m sorry for your family´s loss. I will miss his smile as well.

Christian was our postman and such a great and caring person. Him and I would talk about cars and life itself while he played with my dog. My girlfriend and I will miss him very much and we pray for his family.

Christian was our mailman. I will never forget his friendly demeanor and how he always asked how my family and I were doing. We were blessed to have known him. May he rest in eternal peace.
