Obituary

Christian Xavier Gary, age 16, of Rochester, Minnesota, passed away unexpectedly on May 12, 2026. Born on October 6, 2009, in Houston, Texas, Christian was the beloved son of Mandee Sorensen and had called Rochester home for the past 10 years.

Christian was a bright light to everyone who knew him. Kind, compassionate, and loving, he had a remarkable ability to make friends wherever he went.

Christian had a creative and adventurous spirit. He loved anime, fishing, and all types of movies. He enjoyed spending time outdoors hiking and jet skiing, and treasured trips to Arizona to visit his grandma. He was especially fond of animals and dearly loved his pets, particularly his pet turtle, Sage.

A naturally curious and hands-on young man, Christian enjoyed building and creating things. He proudly built his own PC setup simply for the fun and challenge of it. He also had a deep appreciation for art and had recently begun teaching himself the art of tattooing, expressing his creativity in new and meaningful ways.

Christian will be remembered for his warm heart, gentle nature, sense of humor, and the love he shared so freely with others. Though his time here was far too short, the memories he created and the lives he touched will remain forever in the hearts of those who loved him.

He is survived by his loving mother, Mandee Sorensen; his siblings, Gabriel, Jayden, Noelle and Sanaiya; his grandparents, Marilee and Denny Dunkirk; his aunt, Micki Sorensen; his uncles, Nathan Sorensen and Adam (Janelle) Sorensen, and his cousins.

Christian's family asks that he be remembered for his kindness, creativity, laughter, and love he showed to so many.
