Christian fought a battle most of us can't imagine, yet still accomplished more than most of us ever will ! He touched the hearts of everyone he met!I regret that distance kept me from knowing him better! Love the people in your life, Be like Christian, never give up and never stop loving ❤

I moved to Upper St. Clair, I was in the middle of the 8th grade. I was 14 years old, and had no friends. Christian was one of the first friends I made. We sat together during lunch almost every day throughout our four years in high school. Christian and I would talk and joke about seemingly everything. Some days those lunches would be the only thing I would look forward to. Christian was a great friend. I will forever be grateful for his kindness, and will miss terribly. My sympathies and thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
