Christopher Lincoln Johnsten, 47, of Melbourne passed away on December 24th in the comfort of his home.

Christopher was born to Hugh L. Johnsten and Alexis Johnsten on January 12, 1978, in Melbourne. Christopher attended Melbourne Central Catholic High School where he went on to attend University of North Florida.

Christopher admired his parents and their family business and began working at Eau Gallie Florist. He spent his life exploring different kinds of work, never tied to one path. With a natural ability to figure things out and get the job done, he carried a quiet determination that defined who he was.

Christopher is survived by his mother, Alexis Johnsten; his sisters, Jenifer Johnsten and Elizabeth Grezaffi; his nephew, Jet Grezaffi; his niece, Lilyann Johnsten; and his beloved dogs, Miyagi and Medusa.

Funeral mass will be held on Saturday, January 17th, at 11:00 a.m. at Ascension Catholic Church. A repast will follow at the Azan Shriners Center, 1591 W. Eau Gallie Blvd., in Melbourne.
