Kelvin Lamarr Christian Jr.

January 21, 1976 - September 11, 2019

On Wednesday, September 11, 2019, God called home for eternal rest, our beloved, Kelvin Lamarr Christian, Jr. He passed away suddenly while vacationing in Bermuda. He was born in Richmond, Va, on January 21, 1976, the son of Kelvin and Priscilla Christian. At an early age, he confessed Christ and joined Ebenezer Baptist Church in Lanexa, Va, where he remained a faithful member until his death. Kelvin was employed by Johnson Controls as a site foreman for 15 faithful years. He was a dedicated member of Plumbers and Steamfitters local 10 union. Mane was a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. When he wasn’t fixing something or working on someone’s AC unit, he loved to go fishing, hunting, spending time with his family and friends or profiling in his Chevelle. He had a genuine passion and love for coaching little league football. He was a role model and a mentor to the youth of New Kent and Richmond Communities. Mane was also known for his good sense of humor, his contagious laughter, and smile among his friends and family. He had the biggest heart and would drop anything he was doing to help anyone with no hesitation. He would always say, “Alright I will be over there in a minute or Alright I will be over there when I get off from work.” He is survived by his wife, Julia H. Christian, who has been by his side for 21 years; parents Kelvin and Priscilla Christian; two sons, Nyaze’ and Isaiah; his daughter, Karen (Jonathan); grandchildren, Justin “JJ”, Aliyah, Jonathan Jr.; paternal grandparents, Henry and Louise Christian; one sister, Kellie Carter (Maurice); two nephews, Christian and Nicholas; his in-laws, Grant and Helen Reppert; two brothers-in-law, Clinton (Wendy) and Stephen (Melinda); a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and caring friends.
