Our much beloved son and brother, Nguyen (AnhKhoi) Christopher, passed away on Monday, April 27, at his childhood home in Everett, Washington. Christopher was the devoted son of Phuong- Thi Nguyen and David (AnhToan) Nguyen, a younger brother to Albert Nguyen, and an older brother to Andrew Nguyen and Henry Nguyen.

Christopher was 18. He was a senior at Cascade High School and a member of the National Honors Society, due to graduate in the spring. He also attended early start college courses at Everett Community College and had been recently accepted to the University of Washington as a sophomore in the pre-engineering program. He shared a love of science and technology with his mother, father, and brothers.

Christopher loved photography, technology, and innovation. He enjoyed scouting, the outdoors, rock-climbing, swimming and playing music in his school bands.  Christopher was an avid gamer, his competitive nature helped him see every challenge as opportunity to develop his talent.  By the age of 16 he was an Eagle Scout and continued with scouting, earning 3 palms. Christopher was a natural leader and mentor, spending his afternoons tutoring other students in math. His sense of community and commitment to volunteerism made him a role model to his brothers and friends.

He smiled in every circumstance possible. To many of his peers, he was the kindest person and greatest friend. He never hesitated to help others whenever help was needed. 

Christopher will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. We ask that you make a donation in his honor to raise awareness about youth suicide in order to prevent this tragedy from happening to other families.
