Christian Kenneth Crabb

Christian Kenneth Crabb passed away unexpectedly as a result of a car accident on Monday, November 10, 2025. He was a Leap Year baby, born right on time, on February 29, 2008 to Kenny and Lisa Crabb. Kendall completed the family in 2011 and Christian cherished becoming a big brother, a role he was made to play. Christian was a Senior at Kingsburg High School, set to graduate in June of 2026. Christian had many interests and gifts including music as a younger boy, but as he grew older his main focus turned to athletics. Growing up, he tried all the sports! He was built to run and excelled in anything that required speed. He played baseball, basketball, soccer, football and track at different points in his life, but his main loves were soccer and track. An ankle injury took him out of the game at the end of his sophomore year, but after a surgery and a long recovery period, he returned mid-way through track season his Junior Year and ran faster than he ever had before. Christian always made time for his family and friends. He was a genuine person who was fiercely loyal to all those who were important to him. He loved adventure and trying new things. The Crabb family loved to travel in their RV and had a mission to get to as many states as possible on summer vacations. He was active in the Fire Explorer program and enjoyed playing pickleball, snow skiing, mountain biking and hanging out with his close group of buddies. He was passionate about working out and weightlifting and was proud to hit a max of 315 pounds on his bench press! Christian had a strong work ethic, and was very focused and driven. He wanted to make his own way. He worked over the summers saving up to buy his first car. It was very important to him to learn to drive a manual transmission, and he searched tirelessly until he found the perfect car. He was already working on finding the right vehicle for his sister when the time came. He was actively working on his college applications. His goal was to study Kinesiology in college and become a Physical Therapist, after being inspired during his road to recovery post-injury. Just this week, his acceptance letter to his first choice, Westmont College, arrived offering him a generous scholarship that would have allowed him to attend. Christian's church family was a big part of his life. He was born and raised into the Kingsburg Covenant Church, completing AWANA, attending church youth group, volunteering in children's church and was always willing to help with service projects or set up for events. He was Confirmed after a 2-year program which culminated in his profession of faith in front of the congregation in 2022. The verse he chose to share was Exodus 14:14, "The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." This verse he chose to proudly wear on his Letterman's jacket and became a promise we all leaned on in that hospital room those last days of his life. Christian will be desperately missed. He was a devoted son, protective brother, loving grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, boyfriend, and classmate. Christian was preceded in death by his grandfather Mark Matthews. He is survived by his parents, Kenny and Lisa, his sister Kendall; grandmother Barbara Matthews, grandparents Rod and Robin Crabb, uncles Mark C. Matthews and Adam Crabb, cousins, and his friends that have become family.
