Cristian Gaitan (48) passed away peacefully at Memorial West Hospital in Pembroke Pines, Florida on March 4, 2021 after losing his battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He is survived by his wife, Kristina Gaitan, his two daughters, Isabella and Shelby, his mother Ligia Segura Gaitan and his nine siblings: Cesar Gaitan, Doris Rubiano, Tobias Gaitan, Zoraida Gaitan, Nestor Gaitan, Maryluz Bernal, Rocio Bernal, Pilar Cardona and Sharon Gaitan and their beautiful families whom he loved very much. Cristian was born in Bogota, Colombia and came to the United States at the early age of thirteen with his family. The family first resided in San Antonio, Texas before moving to West Palm Beach, Florida in 1988 where he attended John I Leonard High School. In October 1993 God provided him with the love of his life, Kristina, and they were married in 1996 before the eyes of the Lord. They have been graced with their two beautiful girls whom were everything to him. In 2003 he opened his company, CKG Painting, Inc. Cristian was well loved by his clients and anyone whom met him, as he was a genuinely good person, always looking to give a helping hand and provide a service to people that was above expectations. He was a “good soul” as many clients have called him in the recent days. Cristian’s family plans to keep his legacy alive by continuing to keep the company open. Cristian loved spending time with his family, taking his girls out on the boat, vacationing in the Keys or taking a camping trip with his family and friends. He enjoyed living life to the fullest and was always a happy, outgoing person. Anyone he met he touched their life in a special way. A Celebration of Life service is scheduled for Saturday, April 3, 2021 at 6:00 pm at his residence at 13882 72nd Court N., West Palm Beach, FL 33412. The family requests for the safety of everyone attending the celebration of life that everyone wear double masks. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please donate to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society as research still needs to continue to find ways to completely cure this terrible disease. Please donate at https://donate.lls.org/lls/donate. The family would like to express their gratitude to the Hematology / Oncology staff and the 3 West Wing nurses and staff at Memorial West Hospital for their support and for not giving up the fight. The family has been truly blessed to have them as Cristian’s medical staff and for their continued support. The family will be forever grateful for their compassion and their willingness to keep fighting for him and for all patients in their care. The family would also like to thank the friends and clients for the ongoing support during this difficult time. WE HAVE BEEN TRULY BLESSED BY ALL OF YOU.
