He had great passion for cars, trucks, dirt bikes, four-wheelers; if you name something he could tell you all about it. \u00a0Can\u2019t forget spinning those tires on anything and everything he could. You could always find him where the music was loud, the food was good, the drinks were cold, and right in the middle of all his favorite people. Christian had a laugh that is hard to forget and was so contagious, he always had everyone around him laughing til their stomachs ached. All in all, Christian was the go-to guy, the right-hand man; always there as fast as possible. \u00a0Also had love for his momma like no other.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Christian was navigating through life and got an opportunity to work at John L.
