Christopher Miguel Araiza

September 28, 1988 - June 22, 2020

Christopher Miguel Araiza, age 31, passed on June 22, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on September 28, 1988 to Jodie Martinez and Miguel Araiza. Christopher was loved by so many. He has a huge family and endless friends that will feel the absence of his big smile, and infectious laugh on such a deep level. The pain of living in a world where Chris doesn't exist is almost unbearable, but knowing that he lived openly and with so much passion can hopefully give comfort that he was loved and happy. Life is so precious and memories are what we have, Chris will live on through all of us. Chris expressed his love through music, and one of his favorite artists said it best, "I love you in a place where there's no space or time, I love you for my life" (Amy Winehouse a song for you). He is survived by his Mother Jodie Martinez, Sister Tatiana Ojeda (Lincoln), Brother Lorenzo Ojeda (Armani) Sister Anaiss Araiza (Mia). He is also survived by his Grandmothers Martha Martinez, and Maria Araiza, Grandfather Rafael Araiza, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and his life long friends. He is preceded in death by his Father Miguel Araiza, Grandfather Gilbert Martinez, and Uncle Sean Martinez. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on July 4th, 2020 between 11:00 AM-10:00 PM Germania Park 5243 S Murray Parkway Avenue (1070 W) on the Jordan River Parkway.
