The Iowa State Daily would like to thank the family of Christian Royston for their direction of memorial gifts to the Iowa State Daily. Christian was an outstanding reporter. He loved telling stories and was gifted at doing so. He brought laughs and a calm and steady demeanor to our newsroom and was beloved by his team of students and friends. We will miss him greatly.
