Christian J. Hanna

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Christian Hanna, who left this world far too soon on May 16, 2026, at the age of 29. Christian was born on December 18, 1996, in Boynton Beach, Florida.

Christian was the cherished son of Kristiina Spears and the late Christopher Hanna, who welcomed him into the world with love and joy. The family finds comfort in knowing that Christian is now reunited with his father and his dear grandparents, Olavi and Ritva Maki, in the embrace of heaven.

Christian's memory will forever be treasured by his devoted mother, Kristiina, and his beloved stepfather, Martin Spears, former step father, James Hightower. He leaves behind a large and loving family who will continue to carry his light forward. His siblings, James Hightower, Patric Spears, and Daniel Spears; his grandparents, Greta and Joseph Hanna, his aunts and uncles, Sari Maki, Janne Maki, Joseph Wayne Hanna, David Hanna, and Michelle Pelletier; his cousins, Teresa Maki, Janne Maki Jr., Kassidy Maki, Sarah Wilson, Lj Wilson, Danielle Pelletier, Logan Pelletier, Sabrina Hanna, Nicholas Hanna, Kaitlyn Hanna, and Sophia Hanna.

Christian was an ambitious entrepreneur, having made a name for himself in the sneaker and apparel industry. His passion for fashion was only matched by his dedication to his business, a testament to his tireless work ethic and determination. Christian's creativity and innovative spirit were evident in every venture he undertook, earning him respect and admiration from peers and clients alike.

Despite his professional success, Christian found his greatest joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved going to the beach, where he found peace in the sound of the waves. More than anything, Christian treasured the time spent with his friends and family. He was a place of warmth and laughter, where everyone felt welcome and loved.

Christian's deep faith was a guiding light in his life. His love for Jesus was evident in his generosity, compassion, and unwavering kindness to all he encountered. He was a loving, caring, and sensitive person, always putting the needs of others before his own. His gentle spirit touched the lives of many, leaving a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to have known him.

As we gather to celebrate Christian's life, we remember the joy he brought into our lives and the love he shared with everyone around him. Though our hearts ache with his absence, we find solace in the memories we created together and the knowledge that his spirit lives on in the love we continue to share.

A service to honor Christian's life will be held at a later date, where family and friends can come together to pay tribute to a remarkable young man who will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Christian's memory to animal charity close to his heart or funeral expenses as a way to continue his legacy of giving and kindness.

Rest in peace, dear Christian. You will always be loved, forever remembered, and deeply missed.
