Christian was such a professional.  He had a way to make patients feel more at ease as he found his passion in a career of helps.   My elderly mother would light up whenever I told her that Christian was coming for an appointment.  Words cannot express how hard it was to hear of his passing.  Praying for comfort and peace to  all the family and friends as they share memories and continue your legacy.   Rest in Peace.  The Demby Family.

Christian was excellent.  Working tirelessly in his chosen career of healing and helps. The care that he provided to my mother was exceptional.  Hearing of his passing in definitely hard.  We pray that Christian family and friends find peace and understanding in the ways of the Most High God to continue Christians legacy of love and care.  The Williams Family 

True story:
Everyone knows how much b-boying & hip-hop have been a huge part of my lifestyle.  I can't count how many times I've been asked "How did you get into it/start?".  My generic answer was "it was pretty much the Asian thing to do when we were younger".  

To be truthful, I didn't have really have Filipino/Asian friends until Chris came to West Orange High School. Chris was the one who introduced all of us to b-boying.  He was the one that bridged my gap into all the things other Asians were into at the time. The import models, the car shows, b-boying, etc. He was the one that first emphasized making sure we had style and dancing at a time a lot of us were just trying to get crowd pleasing moves. He got me starting to work on my footwork. He was probably the most stylish of us all.  He took me to my first car shows and at that car show was the first time I ever entered a b-boy battle. 

If it wasn't for Chris, I wouldn't have met all these great people I've met through dance, not had the tightest crew (High School & current) nor has these great life experiences that defined me.  It's not a lie that without him, I wouldn't be the person you know me as today. 

Always my sunshine ,I loved you dearly,will miss your beautiful smile, be at peace now ,til I see you again,

More than first cousins. Brothers n sisters 

There was one trip to the Philippines you packed (what seemed to be) a whole balikbayan box full of Cheerios because that's all you are for breakfast during your stay there. I thought you were crazy lol. 

Kuya Christian, you were the reason we wanted a PS2, got into racing games and DOA2. 

You are truly missed by everyone and will not be forgotten. 

Christian,  we have experienced many of life's trials.  It's not easy but we have all gone through them together and as family.  The memories that have been made shall forever hold a special place in our hearts; you were always there. Thank you. We love you, Christian, Rest in Peace.

I can still hear your giggle.  Forever crystal clear in my mind. Love you always, Christian. ❤️

My heart hurts.  You were the first baby I held when I was no longer a baby myself....I won’t ever forget you Christian. I love you and will miss you. Eternal rest grant unto Christian, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
