Christian Major

Good God RB !

I'm sorry for your loss. Prayers out to his family, your daughter, and yourself.

Rest Easy Trooper.
 
Christian was not a Special Operator.

Christian attended BUDS twice and SFAS once. He went 'Needs of the Army' in 2004 and went immediately to Afghanistan with the 82nd. There Christian made many friends with his sardonic humor but friendly personality. His soldiers and his Terps all liked him.

He suffered a brain aneurism and died in his sleep in Astan yesterday.

Christian wrote me many times while I was in the 'other' theater. We communicated often.

Christian was my friend. Christian was my second son. Christian was in love with my daughter and she with him. He was probably going to be my SIL in the future.

I'll post the obit when it comes out.

RIP Christian.

Sorry for your loss RB- Prayers sent :(
 
Rest Well, Christian.
D- My deepest condolences to you and your whole family on this loss. Knowing the risks don't make dealing with them any easier. I know you wanna take the hurt away for your daughter.
 
Looks like I'll fly into JFK Sunday night and attent the Wake scheduled for Monday. Funeral is scheduled for Tuesday in Connecticut.

As I've received many PM's of condolences, I'd like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your prayers, as would Christian's brother, Brendan.

He was sent this link from someone else doing a google search and is reading.

I'm OK...the 14th was a shitty day but they are slowly getting better. Life goes on but they will be much different without my friend in it.

Godspeed all and thanks again.
