Christian David Boston

Christian David Boston, age 19, of Murphy, passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.

Born on April 18, 2007, in Mesa, Arizona, Chris was the beloved son of his father Chris Tallant, his mother Mary Tallant as well as Dustin Boston. He is survived by his brothers, Zack and Micah, and his sister, Maddie; by the many young people who found a home with the family—especially Chris Tull, who was like a brother to him; and by grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many loved ones whose lives he touched deeply. as well as a close-knit chosen family who shared a deep bond with him.

Chris was known for his endless stream of facts, whether you were ready to hear them or not. His quick humor, strong opinions, and his habit of saying the quiet part out loud. He had a good heart and was eager to connect with people, even when it wasn’t always easy. He tried hard to find his place and was deeply loved by his siblings, Zack, Maddie, and Micah, who stood by him throughout his life in their own ways. They were fierce protectors and steady guides, helping him navigate the world and always having his back.

He loved anything with an engine. Fast cars, sports cars, rally cars, custom builds, Japanese imports, motorcycles you name it. Micah and Christian often enjoyed making games out of the cars they would find. He could talk about them for hours. He had a deep interest in World War II and knew details most people had never heard before. He also loved gaming online with his best friend, Adrien—those were some of his happiest times.

Chris attended school in Wesley Chapel, Florida, including Wesley Chapel Elementary, Denham Oaks Elementary, Seven Oaks Elementary, John Long Middle School, and Wiregrass Ranch High School through his junior year. He later attended Tri-County Community College in Murphy, where he finished high school early.

He was always thinking about what was next. One day it was becoming a rocket scientist — reading physics books just because he wanted to understand how things worked or taking things apart to develop more knowledge on how they were made. Another day it was mechanics, or something completely different by dinner. He had big ideas, a restless mind, and a genuine excitement for life. He constantly made sure everyone around him shared this excitement as well. Regardless of what was presented in front of him, He always wanted to go for it.

Though his time here was far too short, Chris lived fully in the time he had. He made people laugh, made people think, and made sure you knew exactly who he was. He will be remembered for his big personality, his sharp mind, and the way he showed up for the people he cared about.

The family appreciates flowers at the funeral and would also welcome potted plants or flowers with roots that can be planted on our land as a living memorial. Contributions toward memorial expenses may also be made at Gofundme under Christian Boston. All expressions of love and support are deeply appreciated. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 11 am, Saturday, May 9, 2026 at Townson-Rose Funeral Home Chapel in Murphy.
