On Sunday, January 20, 2019, Cristye A. Brown was called home unexpectedly. God needed another angel to take charge, and He determined that Cristye was the woman for the job, as her body needed relief from the constant fighting, despite her spirit being super-human strong. Cristye was brought into this world on December 31, 1980Continue Reading

Crystie sent me a message on Facebook in June of 2018 because her father, Jesse James Villegas, told her about me. I met him almost right after giving a speech at my grandpa’s funeral.
He told her and Crystie’s sister, Jessica, about me.
The first message she sent me read:
“Hi Aaron I’m your cousin Jesse’s daughter I’m so happy to find another cousin!!!”
Here are a few other quotes from Crystie:
“I live in Texas close to Dallas/Ft Worth married 14 years and we have a daughter who is 9 she’s amazing! We hope to add to the family next year. But it is so nice to have you in the tribe!”
These last 3 definitely get to me:
“My dad is most definitely a character but he is as genuine as they come and always willing to help out someone without expecting some in return.”
“Yes he (Jesse) doesn’t have much but he’s the type that would give you the shirt off his back.”
“I want all of us to know each other and the one(s) with kids have their kids get to know each other so the traditions goes on.”
All of these (especially the last 3) show how loving this person was.
I was fortunate enough to have long conversations on Facebook messenger that I will never forget.
In fact, in the last couple of months, I was turning to her more often for venting, conversations, and I was about to start asking for advice as well as give some banter on sports teams.
I was hoping to meet her in the future.
It’s a shame I never did.
Crystie was loving (as I mentioned before), protective, energetic, bubbly, brutally honest about her opinions (as it says on her Facebook page), and open.
I also need to mention how wonderful her husband and daughter sound. My thoughts are with them through these tough times.
I am here if anyone wants to reach out, my door is almost always open.
Thank you Crystie for reaching out to me.
I will never forget you.
Rest In Peace

My dearest Cristye I am a woman of a million words and laughs, but I find myself speechless and quiet. When I found out about your passing it was as if I couldn’t speak, laugh or function. I couldn’t get out of bed the next morning but I did. I got up and followed morning routine of making coffee getting kids ready and drove home in tears. You were truly my sister we would have falling outs and our stubbornness got in way but we ALWAYS ALWAYS found ourselves back to each other and our sisterhood. When I found out you were fighting breast cancer simultaneously as my babygirl fought . Both of you beat it and had a bond that was special. I will never be the same but I will keep pushing thru every hurdle drs throw my way or Alaina’s. I know when her scans n bloodwork you will be one her guardian angels. My heart breaks for everyone and especially Charlie & Pei . You are remarkable and I say in present tense because you will always be with everyone. This is most beautiful obituary and it exemplifies the beauty and luv you shared. An amazing mommy to Pei and devoted madly in love wife to Charlie. I listen to “Over the Rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole as comfort and in the words of the song:
“Someday I’ll wish upon a star wake up where the clouds are far behind me , where troubles melt like lemon drops high above the chimney tops” I know you are up there looking down on us all.
*One day somewhere over the rainbow I will find you and our sisterhood reunited. I luv you Cristye !
Luv your sissy Caina❤️

My dearest Cristye,
I am so broken hearted over your passing. You have always been such a big part of our lives, Craig and I. We had many good times as you and Steph grew up. You two were like two peas in a pod. You have always had a lot of courage. No fear. Determined to live your life on your terms. When we met Charlie we knew he was the one, your soulmate. The courage you had to bring your beautiful daughter, Peighton into the world who has turned out to be very special and smart and beautiful. I have no doubt that Charlie will continue to raise her as you would and keep you in her memory. It will be sad not to see your Facebook posts or talk to you on the phone. I hope you knew how much Craig and I loved you and your family and will continue to do so. Rest now and have no more pain. I am sorry your life was cut way too soon and would have loved to see your future chapters develop. Charlie and Peighton love you so deeply and will miss you so much as will we. You have a place in our hearts forever. Farewell Cristye until we meet again in heaven.

What can I say? You are one of the most special people to ever touch my life. You were one of my best friends. You always raised me up. You made me feel more special than I deserved. You gave me the most blessed honor of being your daughters godmother. You were always there with a kind word whenever I needed you. I don’t know how to go on without you. I will do my best to live life the way you would have wanted me to. I will miss you tremendously. Please watch over me my angel. Thank you for so many years of memories. I love you.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

You became my cyber sister from one of our little towns facebook page in 2013. We grew onto each other regardless of our health battles we both were always positive and supportive towards each other. Something ive never experienced with anyone let alone someone I never had met in person. You were wanting to find a surrogate and I was willing to do it for you because I knew I wanted to keep you in my life forever and having a child for you wouldve been my pact of love for you. I admired you for being a cheerful person despite the battles, a great mother, wife, sister and daughter but most importantly a friend to many and someone who spoke her mind no matter if that caused you to be hated by many you were honest with it! My heart hurts so much knowing you are gone just like that and I know that you were in so much pain but that never knocked you down. I will always hold you close to my heart. My fighter, my soul sister and my biggest supporter. I'm going to freaking miss you so much! I love you my precious angel! Fly high and rest easy, gorgeous!! ❤

You were truly one of a kind, Cristye. I'm so glad that our paths crossed in SC many years ago. You were there for me during some of the darkest times of my life, always with a listening ear and no judgement. Thank you for being unapologetically you. Keeping Peighton, Charlie and all of your family in my prayers.

You were my big sister and will always be my big sis. We didn’t always agree on beliefs but that never shook our friendship and our love for each other. This is pain I’ll always carry in my heart. I love you and miss you, Sissy.
