Christian was such a joyful person and tried to make everyone smile and laugh as much as he could, he was a great friend for the years that I knew him, even though there was a four year age gap between us we were always really close and will be here for his other friends and family in times of need.

Truly and amazing person. Yes he will be missed. He was busy with something. From cars to house. He was one of the few i could call my brother. And with that being said he earned his wings. Fly high little man. I'll see you when i get there

Christian was more than just our Godson, he was like one of our own boys. My head knows hes not fighting to breathe anymore, hes at peace, but my heart hurts so bad. We were not ready for him to go. He sure was something special and deserved so much more out of life. Oh how I miss that kid.

I will never forget the day you bought the engagement ring and you never really got the chance to propose I just took it and said "you already know I'll marry you" and then 2 years later on September 21 2018 we went down to the court house and said I do these were some of the best days of our lives. I love and miss you no matter what I still love you even after death.

Love your wife

Beth, I am sorry to hear of Christian's death. He was one of my favorite kids when he attended Meadowvale. I will always remember his favorite saying. "Hey, guess what?" whenever he came to my office. He was such a sweet kid. Thinking of you and sending hugs.

I am so very sorry, Beth. I have such fond memories of Christian from his time at Meadowvale when he was little. He was definitely one of my favorite kids. I remember his favorite line, "Hey, guess what?" whenever he came to my office. Please know you are in my thoughts. Sending hugs to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Theresa Holewinski

I got to see Christian every day at lunchtime at Monac for his breathing treatments. He didn't like it, but he came everyday no matter what! Beth and Tiffany, I am so sorry for your loss. I am sending prayers to you and your family.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Mary Dunlap

Christian was in my third grade classroom at Monac Elementary. He bravely spoke to all the three classes about his disease and how it affected him so they would all understand. He worked hard and was always a pleasant and friendly student. I remember his lovely sister, Tiffany, who was in Mrs. Jones' room. Sending prayers and thinking of you all.

Christian was as real as they come. He may have had his difficulties, but they were never visible to me. He seemed to love Life and desired the normalcy that CF doesn't always allow. Love and hugs to you all. He was a great spirit and was well taken care of by the village around him.
