My daughter and I were in Athens to do the Teen Victim Impact Program at the court house. We had the Honor of observing Ofc. Christian being transported to the morgue whilst under the watchful guard of his brethren 4 ACCPD vehicles. We honor his memory by the way that we lead our lives as police officers. God Bless and keep his families during this very difficult time. Sgt. Daniel A. Llorens #426 Gwinnett County Police Department

Dear Senior Officer Christian
True I may have never met you in person. But that is not necessary to know what a great person and officer I'm sure you still are. I am planning on a career in Law Enforcement as well and would be honored to be a part of the Law Enforcement Family that you are. I keep you and ALL of you family, personal and professional, in my thoughts and prayers ALWAYS. Josh Holcomb

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.
Rest in peace.

I just want to say to Officer Christian's family, my prays and thoughts are with you all and I pray that God will continue to bless you and keep you. It is such a tragedy to hear about young people doing henious acts and good people following to their death because the person that is committing the crime didn't think. I am so sorry to hear about the young man's life being taken and the pain his family has to endure. I will keep you all in my prayers and I hope and pray God will continue to heal and bless you.
