Christopher was predeceased by his Baba, Anne Serediuk November 2010. Christopher was born on January 3, 1982 in Blairmore, Alberta and at age five and a half developed diabetes.

He always cherished the time he spent in Cadets whether it was at camp or teaching biathlon or going to meetings. Chris was a good cook and would try his creative recipes on his family. He loved his family deeply, always keeping everybody informed and planning family outings. Chris was also fiercely loyal to his friends. We all miss you already Chris.

Wow, I ran into a classmate of ours Sanxay at 7 oaks hospital and he told me about what happened. I had to see it for myself and now that I know its true, I am really sad as I remember trying to re connect with you over facebook after we graduated our HCA course. Even though I knew you weren't a big fan. I wish I coulda told you this in person Chris but thanks for being my friend throughout the whole experience. We made an awesome team in the class and during practicum. I learned a lot from you and you never let me doubt myself when stuff got stressful over the course of that time. I will never forget you and I hope you rest peacefully in paradise. Goodbye bro. My condolences go out to all your family and close friends - Posted by: Michael Sebastian (Friend/Classmate) on: Oct 21, 2013
