CHRISTOPHER “CHRIS” LONDON MICHAEL KINSMAN

Christopher “Chris“ London Michael Kinsman went home to his Lord on Wed., May 19, 2010, after a 13-month battle with Lupus, epilepsy and neurodegenerative brain disease.

He passed at home with his parents, sisters and grandparents and went peacefully from this life to his new one.

He was born June 1, 2007, at Baptist East in Montgomery. He was a healthy, happy, content child until stricken by his disease at 22-months-old. He loved to play ball, and he adored penguins.

Throughout his struggle his testimony reached thousands of people all over the world, from Australia, to Europe, Canada and all the way to California. Each and every person he met, he changed their lives in some way. His mission on this Earth is done, and now he can rest free from pain and the agony of his disease, but those who know Christopher, or know his story, will never forget. He has changed many lives for the better.

Always a happy child before he became sick, he loved to smile and he brought joy to friends and family every single day of his life. He has touched thousands of hearts and will be greatly missed, however his time here is over, his mission accomplished and now he can go on to be at peace.

He has left behind his mother, Kime‘ Kinsman; father, Norman Kinsman; sisters, Isabelle, Juliette and Katelyn Kinsman; Nana, Sherry Lee; great-grandfather, Jack Lee; uncle, Clay Brown; cousins Clayton, Bryce, Jackson, and Aiden Brown; grandparents, Rita and Gene Kinsman and Tony and Becky Brown.
