Cristian Manuel Fernandez received his angel wings on October 14th, 2017. God entrusted this precious child to devoted parents Alejandro and Gilda Fernandez on June 29, 2010. Cristian's amazing strength and perseverance, along with the courage of his parents carried him through a 7 year battle with Tay-Sachs disease.
Cristian loved spending time with his family and created many enduring memories. He never missed an opportunity to dress up in costume with his siblings and cousins. He enjoyed bath time with daddy, lullabies and constant cuddles and kisses from his sisters. In the summers he could spend hours relaxing on a playground swing, swimming pool, or simply enjoying the feel of the ocean breeze against his face. Although his lips never uttered a single word, he spoke volumes through his gentle blue eyes. His mommy understood him deeply and he adored her. His daddy was his superhero and unconditional friend. Both were constantly by his side.
Cristian touched and inspired the lives of every single person who had the privilege to have known him or even know of him. He made them ALL better people. He brought families closer together and taught us to appreciate each day and each other. He will be dearly missed, but will forever live in our hearts.
He is survived and mourned by his parents Alejandro (Alex) and Gilda; loving sisters Isabella and Amanda, who will always keep his memory alive; paternal grandparents Carlos and Daisy Fernandez; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He is greeted in heaven by his maternal grandparents Manuel Valdes and Carmen Navarro.
A memorial service will be held from 7:00PM to 11:00PM Sunday October 15th 2017 at Caballero Rivero Sunset, located at 7355 SW 117th Ave, Miami, FL 33183. A funeral mass will be scheduled for Monday October 16th 2017, followed by interment at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Cemetery.
