San Andreas, CA…Killian Viktorius Christie April 2, 2017 ~ December 3, 2025 (age 8).  Killian Viktorius Christie, born April 2nd, 2017, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones on December 3rd, 2025, surrounded by the love that defined every moment of his short but extraordinary life. The beloved son of Joshua Christie and Hope Rose, and cherished brother to his sisters Hannah, Serenitie, Harmonie, and Temperance, Killian faced the challenges of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy with a courage far beyond his years. Though his journey was marked by hardship, it was also illuminated by his remarkable spirit—one that shone brightly in every smile, every small triumph, and every quiet moment of connection with those who loved him so deeply.

Throughout his eight precious years, Killian became a beacon of resilience and a reminder of the profound strength that can rise from even the most fragile places. His community rallied around him not out of sympathy, but out of admiration for the way he inspired others to see life more clearly—to embrace loved ones more tightly, to treasure simple joys more fully, and to approach each day with renewed reverence. Killian’s legacy is not defined by the illness he battled, but by the love he gave, the hearts he touched, and the enduring reminder that every life, no matter how brief, holds the power to change the world. He will forever live on in the memories of those who were blessed to know him.
