Chris was a member of the congregation of City Church with his girlfriend Cierra Aguilar.
He is preceded in death by grandparents, Albert and Anna Montiel; his father, Michael S. Montiel Sr., and his brother, Timothy Rubalcava Jr.
Remaining to cherish Christopher’s memory are his grandparents Flo and Linda Bocanegra; mother, Elaine Bocanegra; brothers, Eric Rubalcava and Micheal Montiel and his nephew, Matthew Michael Montiel.
