Unimaginable Loss in Riverside, NJ: Healthy Soccer Player and Firstborn Son Cristian Passes Away in His Sleep!

This article was last updated by on

The entire Riverside, New Jersey, community is mourning the loss of a young guy named Cristian, who was the oldest son in his family.

Reportedly, he passed away suddenly while he was sleeping over at his girlfriend’s place. The news shocked everyone as it came out of nowhere, and nobody saw it coming at all.

He was healthy, always active, especially when it came to soccer.

Cristian leaves behind his parents, Rick and Faith, and his five younger siblings.

He was one of those kids who made everyone feel at home. He was polite to people around him, thoughtful, and strong enough to push through tough times without complaining.

To his parents, Rick and Faith, and to his five younger brothers and sisters, he was someone they could always count on for support.

Meanwhile, the family is going through more than most of us can even imagine.

His family is staying with their parents’ bestfriend named Kyle Rosenbloom, because things have been hard for a while already. Things were already difficult when this loss hit them like a truck.

Regardless of the profound loss, they want to give Crisitian the proper goodbye that he deserves. However, they don’t have enough to cover those costs.

Hence, Kyle Rosenbloom, the friend at whose home they are staying, set up a GoFundMe campaign titled “Help Rick & Faith Lay Cristian to Rest.” The GoFundMe describes him as:

Cristian was a healthy, loving, and caring older brother who always put his family first.
Please consider supporting Rick and Faith’s family as they navigate this loss.

Out of the 2K target, $750 has already been accumulated.

During this devastating time, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Cristian’s family and pray for their strength to process the grief.

Rest Easy, Cristian!
