It is with somber hearts that we announce the passing of Kristhian David Cardenas, age 39, who left this world on April 8, 2025, to be with the Lord.
Kristhian is survived by his devoted mother, Zuleima Cardenas, his loving grandmother Bertha Galindo, his proud grandfather Carlos Cardenas, and many beloved family members who will forever cherish his memory. He was known by friends and family as one of Chicago’s biggest Bears fans, cheering with unmatched spirit and loyalty.
Kristhian had a special way of bringing people together—he was the one always suggesting a family photo, the one who never wanted to miss a gathering, and the one whose laughter echoed long after the party ended. His magnetic connection with children spoke to his pure heart and playful nature.
A true prankster and jokester at heart, Kristhian brought endless laughter to those lucky enough to know him. Yet behind his humor was one of the most compassionate souls in our family. His tenderness toward animals, his selfless generosity, and his instinct to help others are traits we’ll always remember and strive to honor.
Con corazones apesadumbrados, anunciamos el fallecimiento de Kristhian David Cardenas, de 39 años, quien partió de este mundo el 8 de abril de 2025 para estar con el Señor.
Kristhian deja en vida a su devota madre, Zuleima Cardenas, su querida abuela Bertha Galindo, su orgulloso abuelo Carlos Cardenas, y muchos familiares amados que siempre atesorarán su recuerdo. Era conocido entre amigos y familiares como uno de los más grandes fanáticos de los Chicago Bears, alentando con un espíritu y una lealtad incomparables.
Kristhian tenía una forma especial de reunir a las personas—siempre era él quien proponía tomarse una foto familiar, quien nunca quería perderse una reunión, y cuya risa seguía resonando mucho después de que terminaba la fiesta. Su conexión natural con los niños reflejaba su corazón puro y su naturaleza juguetona.
Era un verdadero bromista de corazón, y trajo risas interminables a todos los que tuvieron la suerte de conocerlo. Pero detrás de su sentido del humor, había una de las almas más compasivas de nuestra familia. Su ternura con los animales, su generosidad desinteresada y su instinto de ayudar a los demás son cualidades que siempre recordaremos y que intentaremos honrar cada día.
