In Loving Memory: Christian Vivian

Christian John Anthony Vivian born November 19, 2006 to mother, Alicia Vivian and father, Michael White. Alicia was 18 years old when Christian's 5lb 12oz 19.5in bea-uti-ful little soul entered our world at 5:13am. Christian was the only brother in a family having 8 sisters. He strived daily to be a better version of himself for both his sisters and his mother! To say Christian was his mother's ROCK would be putting things LIGHTLY! Because Christian and his family had past encounters with CPS Christian had been adjudicated under the care of a Children and Family Services court "protection" order. In May of 2023 Children's Services placed Christian in a "group-home" for what CPS would tell his family would total six months of time. Christian would of turned 18 in November 2024!!!!!! Somewhere between placing Christian into the group-home and this senseless shooting taking place Tuesday, September 17, 2024 did CPS decide to rehouse Christian into their independent living apartment complex located at 15800 St. Clair Ave on Cleveland's eastside: In Focus of Cleveland Inc. Christian at 17 years old left this independent living residence at roughly 10:45pm walking towards a store/gas station with another unaccompanied minor child. Christian and this other child were both shot returning from that store!! Christian was shot in his head and the other boy in his leg with a total of atleast 15 bullet casings laying around with evidence markers on the ground of the scene of this crime! Christian didn't stand a fighting chance!! If only CPS could of just carried out their promise to protect this child until his legal age of legality Christian's family would not be grieving his tremendous loss now! This heinous crime has shook our family to it's core and we need help; even if your help is a simple kind word or a thoughtful prayer over our family as we prepare to lay Christian down to rest. Please help us spread and share Christian's story. #JusticeForChristian
