Christian Tyler Doss

Christian was born on September 7, 2004, at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. From a young age, he displayed a natural love for sports, participating in football and volleyball, though basketball was truly his greatest passion.

Christian enjoyed many hobbies, including playing video games, reading Marvel comic books, and spending quality time watching and caring for his young nephews. He also had a love for food, with Taco Bell and ramen being two of his favorite places to eat.

At the age of eight, Christian moved to Alabama, where he developed many lasting friendships and created cherished memories.
