Christian was a native and lifelong resident of Sulphur. He enjoyed building things, especially with legos, and also enjoyed going fishing. He had a great sense of humor and often played jokes on the hospital staff. Christian was very kind-hearted and caring, always being more concerned for others than himself. His genuine sweet spirit will always be remembered by anyone who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Allen Abshire.
