To know Chasitie and Cristian is to know love and fun. Chasitie loved her kids more than anything in the world. She made them her first priority always and made sure they had what they wanted and were in the sports/activities they wanted to be in. Chasitie loved to go out and camp at the lake and be with her friends and those close to her. Chasitie made life fun everywhere she would go, always making people laugh. Cristian had a smile that was contagious to all who saw it. Cristian loved to play soccer, be outside with friends and his family, and playing video games.
A celebration of their life will be held Saturday, August 5, 2023 from 1-5PM at the Emmanuel Lutheran church 2901 E. Zion Rd #17, Fayetteville, AR 72703.
