Christian was known for his bright smile that could light up a room and make your troubles disappear. His joy was palpable. He radiated joy that could only come from God. Christian loved the rides at Silver Dollar City, swinging in the backyard, swimming at the pool, and going for rides on his bike. He also loved music. He would sway and sing along and sign for ‘more music’. His taste in music would range from Itsy Bitsy Spider to Adele to worship songs. You could always find him shaking his rattle or playing his toy guitar. He loved going to new places with his family. He traveled to the beach in Florida, the Bahamas on a Disney cruise, White Sox game in Chicago and camping in Milwaukee. Christian will be sadly missed, but his loving memory will live on forever in the hearts of his family and friends. Please continue to share your smile with others in memory of Christian.
