(From the Aztec Sun)

Dominic Christiansen (1970-1986), a sophomore at La Quinta, passed away May 1, 1986. The student body respected his memory by participating in a moment of silence.

To his friends he was a fun loving person who wanted to live life to the fullest. He is well remembered as a person who was always ready to lend his support. His desire to enjoy life led to his competitive nature in both surfing and video games.

Dominic was known as a person who cared for the welfare of others. He was always willing to offer a helping hand, or listen to those who needed comfort.

His enthusiasm was evident in his quest for trying to encourage others in a particular area of interest. Everyone needs a friend to talk to; everyone needs a memory to hold on to.
