It is with a heavy heart I share the tragic news of my oldest grandsons passing.
Christian was an amazing kid that marched to the beat of his own drum and made you smile even if you were upset with him he always had a way of making you smile. This kids life was a struggle from the start and he did his best to get by raised by his grandma Mary who tried her best to give him everything he needed.
Christian definitely viewed life through a different lenz than I do but I was blessed to have discussions with him and try and see from his vantage point.
Though he had many struggles Christian was finding his footing and trying to improve his life, meeting with a military recruiter and talking about his future enlistment. I spoke with his grandma just yesterday and she was telling me how proud she is that he is doing much better, being more respectful and starting a life with his girlfriend.
I still remember the moment you were born and the song that was playing ... Good morning beautiful, I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to welcome my first grandchild into this world.
You will forever live in my broken heart, as I will miss you for the rest of my life.
