A Virginia community is rallying around the family of a beloved teen whose death “left a deep void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him.”
More than $50,000 has been raised by friends and loved ones following the death of Bristow native Christian Brixius , who is scheduled to be buried this week following his unexpected passing in Prince William County.
Brixius, who attended Patriot High School,” was described by his family as “a bright and kind-hearted teen who tragically passed away.”
“As Christian’s family navigates through this incredibly difficult time, they are also faced with the unexpected burden of funeral and memorial service expenses,” organizers of a GoFundMe campaign posted. “We want to help ease that burden so they can focus on healing and remembering Christian.”
Visiting hours for the 14-year-old were set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Pierce Funeral Home on Center Street in Manassas, followed by a funeral mass at All Saints Catholic Church on Stonewall Road the following morning at 10 a.m. in Manassas.
