He passed away but gave a second chance to two lives.
Late Richie Christie is alive today and will live in our hearts forever.
21 years old Richie Christie passed away on October 13, 2012 in a car accident. But he is still alive in our hearts. He made a choice in life that if and when his life will have to move on; his organ must be donated to those in need to give a second chance. He gave second chance to two lives, one from state of Michigan and the second from state of Wisconsin. Who wouldn’t be proud of him?
His parents Ritaben and Roozveltbhai received a Certificate of Recognition in Memory of Richie Christie from the State of Wisconsin personally signed by the Governor Scott Walker. UW hospital was decorated by the beautiful lighting especially in the memory of Richie Christie and others who gave a second chance to someone else by donating their organs before passing on.
Mr. & Mrs. Christie, Ritaben and Roozveltbhai would like to thank each and every one who showed their care and concern from the time the news spread of Richie’s accident on October 13. They would like to thank each and every one who showered their love and lots of prayers since and after the news spread of Richie’s passing away through phone calls, email, text messages and personal visits. They are very thankful to all the friends and family members for standing by them and sharing their pain during their rough and tough time. They would like to thank those who attended Richie’s memorial and burial services. They are thankful for all those who came from all directions and distance and specially the Gujarati Christian community of New Jersey and New York. Please always keep them in your prayers. May God bless all of you.
Please find below the pictures taken during memorial and burial services held on October 20, 2012 which was not published at that time due to some reason.

DEAR LOVING GODLY FAMILY.1 शमूएल 1 Samuel 12: 23. फिर यह मुझ से दूर हो कि मैं तुम्हारे लिये प्रार्थना करना छोड़कर यहोवा के विरुद्ध पापी ठहरूं; मैं तो तुम्हें अच्छा और सीधा मार्ग दिखाता रहूंगा। 23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
1 Thessalonians -1 थिस्सलुनीकियों 4:13 हे भाइयों, हम नहीं चाहते, कि तुम उनके विषय में जो सोते हैं, अज्ञान रहो; ऐसा न हो, कि तुम औरों की नाईं शोक करो जिन्हें आशा नहीं। 14 क्योंकि यदि हम प्रतीति करते हैं, कि यीशु मरा, और जी भी उठा, तो वैसे ही परमेश्वर उन्हें भी जो यीशु में सो गए हैं, उसी के साथ ले आएगा। 15 क्योंकि हम प्रभु के वचन के अनुसार तुम से यह कहते हैं, कि हम जो जीवित हैं, और प्रभु के आने तक बचे रहेंगे तो सोए हुओं से कभी आगे न बढ़ेंगे।
16 क्योंकि प्रभु आप ही स्वर्ग से उतरेगा; उस समय ललकार, और प्रधान दूत का शब्द सुनाई देगा, और परमेश्वर की तुरही फूंकी जाएगी, और जो मसीह में मरे हैं, वे पहिले जी उठेंगे। 17 तब हम जो जीवित और बचे रहेंगे, उन के साथ बादलों पर उठा लिए जाएंगे, कि हवा में प्रभु से मिलें, और इस रीति से हम सदा प्रभु के साथ रहेंगे। 18 सो इन बातों से एक दूसरे को शान्ति दिया करो॥ 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
