Slattery, Christian

1995 - 2021

-

Christian Davion Slattery, affectiona­tely known as “Ooh” was born to Aleasia Revels and Donald Slattery on March 24, 1995, at Grant Hospital. Christian attended Westervill­e North High School, and later obtained his GED. He was accepted to the Ohio State Barber College, where he graduated and

was board-certified. He

was happily employed with Psychobill­y Barbershop at the time of his death. He never met a stranger in life. He was the most loyal person one could have ever hoped to know. He was transparen­t, blunt, and brutally honest, yet he was also a safe haven in which to run. He could hurt your feelings with his brutal honesty in one breath, and in the next instance be ready to console and soothe as only he could. Christian made everyone feel free to express themselves in the rawest manner, being a

confidante to many. He was

forthcomin­g in expressing his innermost feelings in helping you to be capable of voicing your deepest emotions without fear of being judged. He was a linguist and had such a way with words and a love of language. One would know this only if you ever had the privilege of hearing one of his freestyles. He loved openly and very hard. Christian prided himself on being available to everyone, no matter the hour. His smile was perfect, and his laugh was contagious, always being the life of the party. Christian’s magnetic personalit­y and charm drew you in like a moth to

a flame. And let us never

forget his infamous bear hugs that could literally envelop any sorrow. He was a natural born star, a star that shone even brighter once he accepted the calling of Jesus Christ on his life, and beginning his servitude with Xenos/ Dwell Community Church. With his skeptical nature, he was determined in his seeking the knowledge of God and to know and understand God for himself by questionin­g, researchin­g, and drawing an intimate portrait of Christ within his heart through personal

reflection, group study and

applicatio­n. Christian was exuberant in his proclamati­on of Christ, ministerin­g to anyone who had an ear. Periodt. He was such a gift, and to some it may seem like his was a life cut short, but to those that believe, it was a calling complete. Therefore, we count it all joy in the name of Jesus!. Christian transition­ed into the arms of his Heavenly

Father on September 28, 2021. He was predecease­d by his paternal great-grandfathe­r Paul E. Palmer

Sr., paternal grandfathe­r Murray K. Harrison, baby brother Dallas Kash Revels, paternal grandmothe­r Gina Pfeiffer, and paternal aunt Sheri Mccoy. He leaves to cherish his precious memories, adoring mom, Aleasia Revels; stepfather, Barlin Revels; biological father, Donald Slattery; siblings, Devon, Kensel, and Phoenix; nephew, Dash Ragan Slattery; maternal grandmothe­r, Angela Harrison; paternal grandfathe­r, Gary Pfeiffer; maternal great-grandmothe­r, Dollie Palmer; maternal aunt, Shemeka Gibson-peacock; paternal aunts, Heather Slattery-woods and Kathy Foster; special uncle, Maxamillio­n Harrison; sisters/cousins, Taylor and Alana Gibson; and a plethora of uncles, aunts, cousins, pseudo-brothers, and friends.
