Our Pines Pub family has lost an incredibly dear friend and talented chef. Christian was such an amazing soul, more than just a friend to most of us, he was like a brother. Such a fun and charismatic spirit with a huge heart and infectious smile, you were guaranteed to have a good time with him, whether at work or out on an adventure. It’s not often that you develop such close relationships with those that you work with and our crew is devastated by his loss.

We have organized this gofundme for Christian’s sweet mother, Belinda White, who was his biggest fan. While nothing will ever ease the pain of this loss, we hope the funds we raise can help her with any funeral or medical expenses. We appreciate anything you are able to donate. Our general manager will ensure Belinda receives all funds raised in full.

Be sure to hug your friends and family and tell them you love them. Life can be unfair, but we are so grateful to have known Christian and share so many wonderful memories with him.
