Tomohiro Christian Wilton

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Tomohiro Christian Wilton on the night of January 7, 2024. Christian was taken from us at 21 years old. Christian was born at University Medical Center on November 1, 2002 with his twin brother, Ethan. Christian lived most of his life in Three Points, Arizona with his grandparents, Ken and Carol Peterson. Christian attended Altar Valley Middle School, Flowing Wells High School, (graduated with honors), Northern Arizona University, and lastly, the University of Arizona, where he was a Junior. Christian was majoring in journalism with an emphasis on photojournalism. He had a minor in political science.

Christian loved sports, football, volleyball, skateboarding, weightlifting and he loved to dance. He was a fun-loving, spontaneous, adventurous, funny, life-of-the-party kind of guy. He was well-known and loved. He loved his family and friends and didn’t hesitate to show it. In his true nature, Christian wanted to be an organ donor. His wishes were honored and he will help many people who wouldn’t have been helped without his generosity.

Christian is survived by his twin brother, Ethan Wilton, his mother, Kristin Wilton, his older sister, Liz Maiden (Pat Maiden, BIL), his older brother, TJ Wilton, his grandparents, Ken and Carol Peterson, his Aunt, Lori Peterson, his niece, Emmie Maiden and his cat, Moo.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Christian at the Tucson Botanical Gardens on Sunday, January 21, 2024, from 4:00 - 6:30 pm.
