Chris, when you graduated from high school I wrote you a poem about the chapters of your life and how they would change over time. My heart is broken because I was not ready for those chapters to end. I am so proud of the person you became. A loving father, devoted husband, caring son, loyal friend and most of all, the person everyone knew would be there for them in time of need. Rejoice my son, you are free of pain and suffering. I know you will continue to look after those in need, because that is who you are. I love you, Mom.
So proud and blessed to call you a friend.. Jeffry

Chris exemplified extraordinary peace and serenity through the pain and suffering of the cancer that ravished his body. My sincere compassion to his family and friends.
May the Peace of the Lord be with you.
My heart goes out to you Carole, Chuck, Crystal, Robyn and all of the many friends and family members who are feeling a deep loss today. I don’t have to tell you how special Chris was or the special place he holds in the hearts of all he met. I pray that there is comfort in knowing that his courageous battle is at an end and he is at peace in the arms of loved ones who have gone before. Rest easy now, Brave Soldier.
I’ll always think of you as that darling little boy. Piece and love be with you always! Love you
