Devoted uncle of Tyden, Trexen and Teklen. Dear grandson of Edith Schmuck and Lavonne Schmuck. Dear nephew of Maria Gray, Richard, Raymond, Robert Schmuck and the late Janet Jannotta Dietz. Fond cousin and friend of many. Partner in crime of Michael Kolodziej. Christian's colorful laugh and quick wit were his most iconic qualities, but it was his generous heart that really set him apart from the crowd. He was incredibly smart and adventurous, and was always looking to entertain the crowd. He chose to put everyone before himself, and naturally became an amazing and dedicated Marine. Christian is now our guardian angel, and will live in our hearts forever. Visitation, Friday, September 27, 2019 from 4 to 9 p.m. Funeral Saturday, 10:00 a.m. at Kolbus- John V.
