Christian David Scott

When Chris arrived on May 7, 2007, Mom, Dad and Big Brother Dominique were excited and overjoyed! Their family was complete. Chris was always “busy” and curious and time passed and he grew. Those traits only flourished! He progressed from Mom and Dad’s arms to walking and and running . From carrying Elmo everywhere to Lightning McQueen to Johnny Test. Notice the theme here, action all of the way! he went from kindergarten and elementary, to junior high and high school.

Chris enjoyed life, he thrived! Even though Chris loved playing video games, Teen Titans and WWE, if the choice was to be outside, no matter the season, or do things, no contest, outside was the move. He went from Snapchat to Tiktok and IG. Tomar taught Dom and Christian to swim from an early age and they both loved it. We watched Christian go from being the protected by Dom to being the protector of his big brother. Chris was the youngest and smallest til’ little sister Krystiana came along. He loved being a big brother but over the last 3 years, Chris became the biggest and tallest of the family. He loved the fact that he towered over his mom and practically everyone else in his family, though, he still had some “giants” to catch. People say Christian was destined for greatness but Chris was already great. Not because of his athleticism. He was more than an athlete. He was so many things to so many people. Christian wasn’t a diamond in the rough, he was fully faceted.

Christian was a rarity, just like a diamond, he was fully a teen and fully and unabashedly a big kid all at once. He still enjoyed being a kid…ask those kids at his cousin Jada’s graduation party just a few weeks ago. Now Chris would try to “Bass” on you and show his little chin hairs. This year because of his big brother Dominique, Christian wanted to be a peer helper, yes, more than an athlete.

Christian’s favorite subjects were history, math and english! He loved spending time with family and if you looked up the definition of “Mama’s Boy”, I’m pretty sure there would be a picture of Chris….just saying.

He tried his hand at baking and made a better bundt cake than his MOM. His favorite dish to prepare was chicken parmesian. He was always ready to workout and hone his craft, whether that was sports or playing pranks on his friends and family. We remember his smile and laughter , his zest for life! Chris loved his Uncle Blair and Uncle Brandon and they both kept it real with him and held him to account. If something big and exciting happened, MiMi, Paw Paw and Sweetie could expect a phone call from Christian with his exciting news! One thing about him, if Christian loved you, you knew it. That’s true of both family and friends. We’d like to leave you with this important fact . Christian was a Christian, he knew the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior!
