Cristian Marius Selagea

Cristian Marius Selagea (Cris or Kiki) left this side of heaven and stepped into glory, on June 24th, 2024, at 6:35PM, after a very long battle with MS. 

He is survived by his wife Ioana, his son Gabe, parents Timotei and Ligia, sister Daniela and brother-in-law, Sorin, his nieces and their families, aunts and uncles here in the States and in Romania, many cousins and in law family in Romania. He is also survived by an even larger group of close friends who made the choice to join Cris’ difficult journey and offered help, love and compassion in some of the most difficult moments of his life.

With the help of his close family and friends, Cris lived a full life, raised an amazing son and made his wife and parents proud, traveled and made many memories, loved the Lord with all his might, witnessed our Jesus to as many people he could and didn’t complain at all when the illness took its toll on his body. His beautiful and serene smile was his signature and the memory many people knew him will keep in their hearts and minds.

Cris was born in Ocna Mures, Romania and moved to United States of America when he was 9 years of age. He lived for one year in Chicago, after which his family moved to Atlanta, Ga. He was part of the First Romanian Baptist Church family and was loved by many.

He loved the beach, cars, spending time with his family and friends and adored food, chocolate and Romanian deserts. 

He also loved to praise God through music and the Desculti event was the highlight of the year (Desculti is a well-known event in the Romanian Christian Community, which takes place in Hickory, NC). He loved to make friends and he never met a person he couldn’t find something to talk about. He was kind, loving, generous, funny and an amazing son, brother, husband, father, uncle and friend. 

The wake will take place on Friday, June 28th, at 7:00pm at First Romanian Baptist Church: 1280 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Rd, Lawrenceville Ga, 30043. 

Funeral service will be held Sunday, June 30, 2024, at 3:00 PM at Hamilton Mill Memorial Chapel. Interment will follow at Hamilton Mill Memorial Gardens. Address: 3481 Hamilton Mill Rd, Buford GA 30519.

The family is not asking for flowers, but if you are planning to send flowers for Cris' funeral, please contact Vicky Barca at 404-934-9348 or access floralbyvictoria.net. Please note, Cris was at peace knowing he would soon join the Lord and wanted for all floral arrangements to be white. 

Until we meet again rest in peace our beloved Cris!

Psalm 34:4-5

I sought the Lord, and he answered me;

    he delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him are radiant;

    their faces are never covered with shame.
