A Message From the Family

By now, most of you have heard of the tragedy we experienced in our family this week. But if not, our son-in-law, Darrin Christ (42) died suddenly this past Sunday morning of a heart attack. Our daughter, Cecilia, is now a single parent to Riley (8) and Reagan (5). We are still in shock but we have a strong support group and have been blessed in so many ways by so many people.

Below is the obituary. If you know of someone that would like to know of Darrin’s death, please pass it along.

Darrin Ray Christ died October 9, 2011, in Marietta, GA.

Darrin was born May 22, 1969 in Greenville, SC to Dave and Becca Christ. He attended Bob Jones Academy and went on to Bob Jones University graduating with a BA in Bible. He pursued a masters degree in Health and Exercise Science at Furman University, and completed his degree in 1994. He then taught physical education at Bryson Elementary in Simpsonville, SC for 6 years. On September 18, 1999 he married CiCi (Cain) from Roswell, GA. Darrin and CiCi moved to Detroit, MI shortly after they were married so Darrin could attend Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. He graduated in 2005 with a Master of Divinity. Son, Riley, and daughter, Reagan were born during that time.

Darrin and his family moved to Roswell, GA in 2006 where Darrin taught physical education in the Marietta City Schools. They joined Lebanon Baptist Church in 2008, and Darrin was hired onto the pastoral staff as part time youth pastor. Darrin also taught the Young Married Sunday School class, and worked with the College & Career Group during the summer months.

Darrin is survived by his wife CiCi, son Riley, daughter Reagan, parents Dave and Becca, brother Derrick, and grandmother, Lorine Schaeffer.
