Christian George Martinisi

December 23, 2007 – August 28, 2014

Christian Martinisi entered into the gates of heaven on Aug. 28. He had the biggest heart and was full of spunk.  His energy was contagious and his adorable smile lit up any room he entered.  He was honest, kind and always thought of others.  He was a daredevil and adventurous.

Christian loved his family so much and enjoyed when the whole family was together.  He would always say how thankful he was for them and the time they spent together.  Christian was an introspective child and could read people very well, he loved to play practical jokes and laugh.  Christian was looking forward to starting First Grade at Willow Avenue Elementary School. He had a thirst for knowledge and a love for learning.  He adored his friends.  He loved music and dancing, and was brave enough to dance  in the talent show.  He was persistent and determined and extremely proud when he accomplished something, especially when he learned to read. His favorite book was “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.”  He loved Puma, Under Armour and Gap clothing, Legos and the color red.

Christian is survived by his parents Anthony and Cara Martinisi, younger brothers Anthony and Nicky, grandparents George and Theresa Martinisi, and Joseph and Susan Tisi, godmother Mamie and uncle Michael Dehney, cousin Isabella Dehney, Great Grandma Tisi, godfather Kurt Hahn and many other aunts, uncles and cousins.

His family received visitors on Sept. 1 at Quigley Bros. Funeral Home in Cornwall- on-Hudson.  A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Sept. 2 at Sacred Heart Church in Newburgh.  Burial followed in Calvary Cemetery in New Windsor.
