Cristian Petrea Disney

Cristian was such an outstanding athlete and his great physical strength enabled him to perform many daring and unusual aerial feats with the great Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for several years. He was such an energetic guy and everyone who came in contact with Cristian liked, and really loved him, instantly!  Cristian was engaged to Catherine Mable Ringling and they were to have been married in June of 2018. His passing has been quite difficult to endure and we know his devout Roman Catholic Christian Faith sustained Cristian and his family throughout his brief illness. Cristian Petrea Disney was born on Thursday, April 21, 1994, and he  passed from this life on Thursday, May 10, 2018 as the result of complications from Cardiomegaly or enlarged heart. He was so loving and caring right up to the moment when he did pass from this life! His adoptive father was at his bedside in Romania when he passed from this life.

​Cristian's Funeral Mass was held in Romania and he was entombed next to his birth parents who were Luke and Maria Petrea. Another Funeral Mass was also held in St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Leawood Kansas at a later time.
