Christopher Daniel was beautiful young man who had a heart of gold and earned his angel wings after putting up a good fight with Covid. He was loved by so many. His smile was infectious and his laugh was goofy. Although he loved to wear mostly black, he had a colorful personality and vivid spirit. He made everyone he met, feel like the most important person in the world. Christopher's smile was warm and welcoming. He loved his brothers and sister and would spoil them and spend quality time with them. He always made sure they knew they had a friend in him. Chris was a lover of books, especially historical fiction, he liked to sketch and draw, watch anything anime or comicbook related with "the littles", what we called his younger siblings, but Music, listening to music was his passion. He enjoyed discovering new genres and sharing them, and dissecting the lyrics and listening for hours. He had an artistic soul. He had dreams, plans and hopes for the future. Chris was such a light in this sometimes dark world and he will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. My Sweetest boy your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.
