<div>It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we write this. On December 29th, our dear friend Christian, a devoted father, fiancé, and loving soul, tragically lost his life while trying to save his daughter, Maya. In an act of incredible love and courage, Christian attempted to rescue Maya from a dangerous situation at Pete’s Dam, a place that was close to their hearts. Tragically, both father and daughter were swept away by the current, leaving an indescribable loss for their family and everyone who knew them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Christian was always putting his loved ones first. He was a devoted father to his sons, Matthew and Philip, his step son Liam, and to his twin daughters, Maya and Ava. His love for his children was immeasurable, and they were the center of his world. Christian was also a fiancé to his beloved partner Miranda Mariott, sharing a life filled with hope, love, and dreams of a bright future together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Christian’s smile could light up any room, and his sense of humor, kindness, and generosity made him someone everyone could count on. He was always there for his family, his friends, and his coworkers, willing to lend a hand at any moment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maya, a loving 6th grader at ECCS, was known for her laughter, curiosity, and her incredibly close bond with her twin sister, Ava. Maya’s lighthearted nature and joyful presence brought so much happiness to everyone she met. Her twin sister, Ava, will forever hold their special connection close to her heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the wake of this tragic event, Beverly Rae, mother of Matthew, Philip, the twins and Miranda Mariott along with her son Liam are left to cope with this unimaginable loss. As they grieve, they also face the reality of moving forward without the presence of their father, and partner, who was their anchor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are coming together to support the families during this incredibly difficult time. The financial burden and the everyday needs are overwhelming. We hope to raise funds to help alleviate some of these burdens, so his family and children can focus on healing and supporting one another. The funds will be distributed equally to Chris's fiance and to Maya's mother equally. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can contribute in two ways:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Online Donations: You can donate directly through this GoFundMe page. Every donation, no matter how small, will help Christian’s family as they move forward without him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In-Person Donations: For those in the New Liskeard area, donations can also be made at either Ok Tire locations in New Liskeard, at Rock, Paper, Scissors or at Riverfront Chiropractic. Your support means the world to these families during this heartbreaking time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Your generosity, thoughts, and prayers will be a source of comfort and strength for the families as they navigate the difficult road ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us honor the memory of Christian and Maya.
</div>
