In Loving Memory of Christopher Jess Stephan

This campaign is to celebrate the life of Christopher Stephan and provide for his final resting place. Chris was a kind, loving and beautiful son, grandson, nephew, cousin and uncle.

 

Cristina’s “best buddy,” her “Looch,” was the light of her life. Born to a single mother during her undergraduate schooling, Cristina and Chris made a pact to push through the tough times together and never lose faith in each other. Cristina’s partner Anthony was a dad to Chris since the age of 6 and taught him to be handy and have a good work ethic - although he would take a pass to cleaning buildings for the family business.

 

Chris was indeed a joy to be with. In his younger years his aunts and grandparents kept him busy with family gatherings, football games and laughs for days. His smile was contagious, as was his desire to help anyone who was struggling. He loved the Chargers, Miami Heat, LeBron, Junior Seau, shoes, hats and looking fresh. He could school anyone on Madden and never left home without his XBox.

 

His legacy after 23 years will be of laughter and love. Your donation will help with funeral expenses and will also help aid in building a  Memorial Garden in memory of Chris. Would also love for all to share your memories you have of this beautiful young man and thank you to everybody who is helping to make this possible by taking your time out to donate. It's deeply appreciated.
