DUE TO THE WEATHER THE FAMILY HAS DECIDED TO CANCEL THE EVENT FOR TODAY.  THE CELEBRATION WILL BE TOMORROW, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2015 STARTING AT 4:30PM.


A celebration of the life of Christian Flemming will be held at Savoir Fare Restaurant (1 West Loudoun St, Round Hill, VA 20141, 540.338.8300) on Sunday, February 24th from 4:30 pm onward. His family invites anyone who may have any fun, embarrassing, or even completely embellished anecdotes from his last five decades of raising hell to come and share on his behalf. Casual attire is certainly most appropriate, as the idea is to throw a party that he, himself, would have wanted to attend (there will be killer food, and of course, booze).

Christian settled in Loudoun County in '71 with his parents, Betty and Fred Flemming, and co-military brat siblings Helen, Liz and Meg. He spent the next 40 years as a runner, archer, meticulous craftsman and carpenter, creative mind, free spirit, self styled outlaw, lover of anything fast (either with two wheels or four), attempted husband, outdoor enthusiast, adrenaline junkie, unrelenting non-conformist, music aficionado, lobster guy, loyal and lifelong friend to many, and father to two independent, ambitious daughters, Audrey and Hillary, who both share his enthusiasm for life. He was far too stubborn to let any of us soon forget him.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Camp Boggy Creek to honor Christian's "You have to grow old, but you don't have to grow up" mindset. It is a non-profit summer camp intended for ill children and their families to kick back and enjoy the outdoors and activities such as go kart racing.
