Christian Albain

On June 17th, 2018, Our Lord, who art in Heaven, received the greatest Father’s Day gift of all time. This world lost a best friend, co-pilot, treasure hunter, adventurer, partner-in-crime, artist,  hero, cancer-fighter and all around rock-star kid. Christian James Albain, 10, of Toledo, OH,  passed away in the arms of his loving parents after a valiant battle with leukemia at Nationwide  Children’s Hospital, Columbus, OH.  He was born August 23, 2007 in Toledo, OH to Christopher Albain and Brittney Styer. Christian  came into this world with a natural kindness and the ability to make friends with everyone he met. He loved his family, above all else, and will always be idolized by his siblings, cousins and numerous other family and friends. Christian’s superpower was having a heart big enough to fit everyone he knew. He meant so much to so many, and impacted everyone with displays of pure love and strength beyond his years. He was so proud of his brave fight against his cancer. Christian just completed 4th grade at Walbridge Elementary and lived his short life to the fullest through simple pleasures. He enjoyed arts and crafts, dancing, camping, fishing, bike rides and collecting trinkets of all kinds. He had a passion for animals and motorcycles, loved theatre and going for rides in his classic 1980 Camaro, most of all he enjoyed spending time with loved ones.  Left to cherish his memory are his mother, Brittney Styer; father Christopher Albain; step parents, Gary Vance Jr. and Samantha Albain; sisters, Sophia and Diamond; brothers Blake and Cayden; grandparents, Jonathan (Therese) Albain; Sharon Saul; Thomas (Sherry) Styer Jr. and Michele Hunt along with numerous great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
