About	Our Beloved Nick Christ, 59, passed away on March 2, 2020, after a valiant fight of Multiple Myeloma, bone marrow cancer. Some may know him as Nick Shjandemaar, the name of his step father. Later on he took his birth father’s name again, Cristadalopolis, shortened to Christ. For those who knew Nick, he was one of the most generous and compassionate people, especially with his time for others. After working mostly in rehabilitation clinics, he eventually became an integral part of Main Street Martial Arts as the head Tae Kwon Do instructor. He had been a lifelong martial artist himself. He taught, mentored and was a second father and amazing role model to thousands of students in the 22 years with the studio. He has helped shape the future for so many with his compassion and zest for teaching not only martial arts, but life lessons in respect, discipline and love. The kids were his passion and those whose life he impacted will never forget his face or his booming voice. You will never be forgotten...
