It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Cristian Salazar, who left this world far too soon on September 25, 2025, at just 15 years old, following a devastating fire. A sweet and gentle soul, Cristian touched the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Born on May 3, 2010, Cristian brought endless love and light into the lives of his family. He was the beloved son of Yessica (Salazar) and Carlos Alexander, and the cherished brother of Carlos and Yessenia.
Cristian will always be remembered as unforgettable—just like his favorite Nat King Cole song. He was a big guy with an even bigger heart, known for his warm hugs, sweet kisses, and the pure kindness that radiated from him. Though he was diagnosed as a baby with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, Cristian faced life’s challenges with strength, warmth, and joy.
A student at Turner High School, Cristian loved Disney and Pixar movies, especially Cars, which always brought a smile to his face. His gentle, old soul and loving nature made him a light to everyone who knew him.
His passing leaves a deep heartache, especially for his family, and has profoundly affected his sister, who shared an unbreakable bond with him. Cristian will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him most.
