To know CJ, was to love CJ. He was a young man of few words but he expressed his opinion with no problems. He had the sweetest heart and adored everyone around him especially his family, his friends, and the staff at Laremont School. You would often see him with Monkeys and Bobble, watching Spongebob, Blippi, or Paw Patrol on his Ipad and if it ran out of battery, he would yell "Paw Patrol!" to let you know he needed that fixed! He was the happiest little boy that loved to laugh and had just a little mischief in him. His favorite spot was his Yaya's house. He loved penguins and had just become a member of Project Fire Buddy, of which we are so proud. He was so talented and smart, nothing ever slowed him down. Words alone never seemed enough to describe CJ. We will miss him beyond words and we love him so very much.

Friends and family will meet for a Celebration of His Life on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 from 3PM-8PM at Warren Funeral Home, 1475 N. Cemetery Road, Gurnee, IL.
