Chrisitan graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in December of 2005. He would go on to earn his Master’s in Military Operational Art and Science in 2018.
Christian was a man of many passions. He was a playful soul who enjoyed passing the time playing dominos or tabletop games with his family and friends. He loved live music and could frequently be found wearing band tees. His passions decorated and shaped his home, lifestyle and personal style. He was especially fond of dancing with his daughter. He loved making those around him smile.
Christian wore his heart on his sleeve and shared his love, life, and spirit, with the world. He shined with the light of the Lord, always instilling strength and love into his children, friends, coworkers, and those who took the time to ask. Christian’s memory will continue to live in our hearts forever. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Chrisitan leaves behind to honor his legacy; his parents Margarito & Elisa De La Rosa, his children; Jayden, Silas, Max, & Lucy De La Rosa.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to all their friends and relatives for the love and support they have been shown in their time of need.
