Remember the first time we met, we was very young in middle school. We use to play around during that time and get in trouble. Time past we go to different schools but stayed connected. We eventually went to the same high school "DECA" freshman sophomore year, many people always said we looked alike since Middle School so we called each other twins sometimes. Other times we would joke about us looking alike but, eventually we both didn´t go to DECA anymore. We went to different high schools and we planned on being boxing partners and having fun. Partying isn´t my thing so I would often decline the invites but I would also make sure to see how his health been. See how everything been with him, it just feels different I got no more text left. No more joking I lost someone I felt that was kinfolk to me. We didn´t text 24/7 but we would always check on each other and talk every once in a while when we weren´t busy. I pay my respects to Chris. I hope everyone try their best to recover from this. May god comfort his family, while he rest peacefully, I love you Chris.

My thoughts are with the family. My son Alex enjoyed spending time with Chris when Chris visited his grandmother (Tina). My heart is hurting for my dear friend Tina. Chris was always smiling and overall just a positive nice young man.

My Deepest Condolences to Chris entire Family. He and his family lived across the street from me. He was such a really nice young man. I would drop him and his brother at the bus stop during school before they moved. Take Your Rest. God Loved You.

Thank you for always making people smile at school. You were one of the very few people that could be counted on to have a whole classroom laughing. And you always encouraged us to get our work done and graduate. Never a dull moment. You won't be forgotten and hopefully we all continue to smile and laugh with the memories you gave us. Much love to the family, sending many hugs and positivity.
