nothing but love comes to mind when i think of christian. he treated me and my family so well the entire time we were lucky enough to be in his life. he was so special to me, and he passes my mind every day. he inspired my leg tattoos, got me hooked on chic-fil-a, and broke down the tacoma on a road trip to california with me. i’ve never had a best friend like him, and part of me is thankful that i never will, because he will always hold that role in my heart. lucky isn’t the right word to describe having had a chance to be loved by christian. all of my love and condolences to the entire family, as well as my apologies for not writing sooner. 

Ed and Julie,
Our most sincere condolences to you and your family. Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Christian was more than a friend, he was a brother to me. All the shenanigans we did are forever cemented in my memory of him.  “ One for the Airborne Ranger in The Sky”
