“It is thanks to Kristian’s talent as a performer that we were able to raise much needed funds at our events where he played the role of both ambassador and auctioneer. At our last fundraiser, we remember Kristian talking to as many people as possible about our work and thanking them for attending. This was the Kristian we knew and loved: always passionate and supportive of AKT. He will be missed by all at AKT and our thoughts and sympathy goes out to his friends and family.”
