Christian Borders Obituary

Happy 22nd Birthday, Son. I wish I could take you from where you are and bring you back home to us. I miss you so very much.

Christian was a very sensitive and creative person who was highly interested in music and the arts: "I see music spiritually in colors, patterns, and shapes that all move to their own rhythm. Music is not a science or math to me; it is a beautiful spirit life force."

Christian was a good friend to many people, including those from his early childhood. He is deeply loved by his family and friends and is terribly missed.

I hope you are aware, son, of everyone who loves you and mourns you. Did you see all those people who came to your two memorial services – East Coast & West? Do you know how many people you touched with your smile? They all wish you eternal peace.

Love, Your Mom, Dad and sisters

1985-2006

You never paid alot of attention to me in HS, but I had such a HS girlie crush on you. RHS was a hard place to live....but every day, on the bus ride, you would smile at me. I'm sorry I could never say goodbye to you, beautiful angel, but please rest well. I bring that smile to people every day...letting them know that all it takes is a smile. I live in paradise now, but it's not a paradise when I can't forgive myself for not saying goodbye. So I guess this is my way of saying goodbye..a year and some change later. Goodbye, Christian Borders.
