Christian (Cpl Holtorf) – you will be missed. Your ability to say yes to the Canadian Armed Forces adventure while maintaining a positive attitude was a remarkable attribute.
On behalf of Dr. Diduch and Callingwood Orthodontics, we would like to express our sincerest sympathy to Christian’s family and loved ones. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Christian, thank you for your friendship, comradery, loyalty, dedication, valor, bravery and service to Canada.
I will forever cherish the time we spent together on training exercises, domestic operations, recruiting, and community outreach events, like the Edmonton Expo and Santa’s Anonymous.
You will forever be in our hearts and we will miss you the next time the unit goes for drinks, pizza, and playing pool at the Junior Ranks mess. Thanks for the memories. VVV
I am sorry that I could not muster the strength to stand up and talk about Christian during the service. All that I can say now, is that I was so thankful for the time that I had with Christian. I taught him on his DP 1 and after that he went through some hard times. I had his back through all of it. When he came to me, I listened to him with kindness, I responded to him with love and grace. He also gave me grace on the times that I failed. I loved him and I will miss him dearly. He will always be in my thoughts.
I am proud to have worked with Christian and always knew he was dependable. He always came to work with a smile and always knew just what to say to brighten the room. Christian made a profound impact on those that knew him. I wish his mother, father, sister, and grandparents well. Christian will live forever in the hearts of those that knew him.
Proud to have worked with Christian, during an Army task he asked if he could given permission to return up north to help personally with the forest fires. He was energetic and down to earth, where ever he is I pray he knows he is, he was and will always be loved by his family, friends and colleagues.
Christian was full of energy and a pleasure to be around, he will be sorely missed.
Christian-
In 2022, you had the most strongest impact on me.
This entire time I thought you were alive but you weren’t… I sent you a fb friend request in August of 2024 so we can catch up but you were gone…. And I thought you didn’t accept it because you were upset with me or didn’t wanna be friends again.
When I recall our time together you were so full of light, we had so much in common, hockey, pool, and music. I could listen to Metallica, pink Floyd, and led zeppelin with you all night…
To be honest you motivated me to apply for the military but I got denied because I was on psych meds in 2022….
But now in 2024 I might apply again because they changed their policy.
But we met at a wrong time and we had to part ways and grow up a bit.
But there’s one thing I never told you. I love you.
I loved you and I still love you. And I’m so sorry you’re gone.
We don’t live far from eachother. And whenever I take a bus that passes meadowlark past your house I always look down the road….
My heart aches.
Rest in peace. I hope you are at ease now.
