Christopher Christian Obituary

CHURCH HILL - Christopher Todd Christian, age 51, a resident of Church Hill, Tennessee, peacefully departed this world on Thursday, January 4, 2024, at his home, following a prolonged illness.

Todd had a passion for NASCAR, dirt bikes, music, and the feral cats he dutifully cared for. Among his cherished friends, one stood out – his enduring friendship with Lori from Las Vegas, Nevada. Although they had never met in person, they became steadfast companions through their shared love for gaming. Todd's mother also developed a strong online friendship with Lori.

Todd was a compassionate soul who loved to care for others. Whenever he had the opportunity, he went to great lengths to help those in need. His absence will be profoundly felt by all who knew him.

Todd is preceded in death by his father, Harold Christian; as well as his paternal grandparents, E.C. (Buck) and Hazel Christian; maternal grandparents, H.T. and Meridith Johnson; and stepfather, Alex Leonard.

Left to cherish his memories are his mother, Gail Leonard; his brother, Scott Christian; his son, Chris Christian and wife Kayla; his grandson, Jace Christian; and several aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Amedisys Hospice Care, with a special mention of nurse Amanda, who provided exceptional care to both Todd and his mother during their time of need.

In accordance with Todd's wishes, no services will be held.

Trinity Memorial Centers Funeral Home (423-723-8177) is entrusted with the privilege of serving the family during this difficult time.

Dear Family, Todd was such a good friend to Mason, me and others. I recall I could not get my weed eater to work, and Todd came down to my mom's house and worked on it. He was always helpful that way. I remember him, when he was a little boy riding his big wheel on the driveway for hours. We love you, Todd. Prayers for your family as we will all miss you.
Love: Darline and Mason
