Christopher Michael Jefferson

Mr. Christopher Michael Jefferson was born April 15, 1975 in Saginaw, Michigan to Frederick Brodnex and Julia Jefferson. He was a student of Saginaw Public Schools and a member of Rose Hill Missionary Baptist Church. In high school, he was a student athlete and basketball was his sport. He continued to play recreationally post high school and never lost his love for the game.

Christopher relocated to St. Louis, Missouri for a better life and more opportunities. No matter where he went, he was the same. He was a kind, caring, respectful man that liked to have fun and enjoyed talking to people. He loved assisting elderly people and helping out around his neighborhood. Christopher was a good father, a good son, a good nephew and an all around good person. He will forever be etched in the hearts and memories of his loved ones.

On Monday, July 23, 2018, Christopher returned to his heavenly home. He was preceded in death by his father, Frederick Brodnex; grandparents, Moses Jefferson, Anna Louise Baber; and aunt, Theresa Jefferson.
