Dear Diana, James and Snowden family,
Christian had always a beaming smile, enjoyed meeting people and being around his peers. We met Christian when he was in primary school. Christian was easy to work with, always fun, and enjoyed the games and activities especially the jungle gym. He persevered with his motor skills and his pleasant, beam of ray personality always shone. He was adorable and sweet, he would give Christine and I, a hug or a high five, every time  we provide OT. Every session started and ended with a hug, a high five, or his big warm smile. You will be missed and thank you for the opportunity of meeting you. Rest in paradise, Christian! 


My deepest condolences to be Snowden family. Christian was the sweetest little boy I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. From the moment we met with his big hug jumping on me on the couch, to the first time he touched his toes on cue, to the first moments he would voluntarily climb up to the top of his playground treehouse…. All the selfies he took, the long leisurely walks… this boy had so much heart. I remember he was the first one I smacked a bee away for lol outside in the front yard pool time. For a moment of my life it was my job to care for you, to protect you, to make you happy and comfortable, sing with you and play with you while mom and dad were doing what they needed.  You’ll forever be in my memory, prayers, and heart. Until we meet again Christian💙 you truly are amazing. 

Always silly moments at school that I will never forget. I'm definitely going to miss you Snowden, you will always be in my heart! 

My family and I may have not known you that well but the loss of anyone in the small community hurts everyone. I do remember meeting you a few times so the loss hits harder to see your passing. Fly high strong one; may you touch more hearts up there than you got to down here.

Christian  we always thought you were awesome we miss your hugs and kisses and your powerful hand shakes we’ll miss you  we’ll carry you in our heart forever 

I love you Christian. You were the best baby cousin ever! I miss you lots! 

My deepest condolences, my heart feels your pain with your loss. 

Christian was a very special and sweet boy.  He was a joy to be around.  Your precious son forever changed, and greatly enriched my sister’s life.  My deepest condolences to your family over the loss of your precious and beloved son, Christian.  May God bring you peace and comfort.     I am praying for you.    ♥️🙏🏻       Diane Johnson
