I still can´t wrap my head around this.
You were on the rise! I´ll never forget that smile the last time I saw you. Happiness found you and then sadness found all of us.
You´re still in our hearts.

Chris Not a day goes by that I dont miss you. The coolness in the air that signals Fall and the fishing season makes it hard for me. Every cast I take I take with you in mind. I miss you my buddy. More than you would have ever thought.

A POEM I FOUND TO REMEMBER AND HONOR YOU AND YOU'R MOM. LOVE ALWAYS WHITNEY(DEE)

Last night while I was trying to sleep , My Son's voice I did Hear,
I opened my eyes and looked around ,
But He did not appear.
He said "Mom you've got to listen,
you've got to understand,
God didnt take me from you Mom,
He only took My hand"
when I called out in pain that night, the instant that I died
He reached down and took my hand and pulled me to His side
He pulled Me up and saved Me from the misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly inside I could never be the same.
My search is really over now Ive found happiness within,
All the answers to My empty dreams, And All that might have been,
I love you all and miss you so And ill always be nearby.
My body is gone forever.
BUT MY SPIRIT WILL NEVER DIE!!!

Chris,
Its been so long and I still dont know what to say. We all miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you. I'm that I got to grow up with such a positive role model in my life. Even though I still want you here, I know that you're in a better place and for that I am grateful. I will love you forever, and always miss you.
Your little sister,
Crystal

Christopher,
Words cannot begin to express how much we miss your beautiful smile. You were such a joy in our lives and we were so proud of the man you were. Not a day goes by that we do not think of you. In our hearts we know that you are safe in heaven with Grandma watching over all of us. We will forever cherish every wonderful memory of Uncle Hank's "Little Zilla".
We love you and miss you:
Uncle Hank, Aunt Patty, and Henry

Chris,

Although we know that death is not a forever good bye...it's a tear-stained face good bye, we weren't ready to say good bye. You will always live on in our hearts and memories. Like grandma's memory is alive each time we bake cookeis, cook, and love one another, we will celebrate your memory through your passions and love. Your cousins will miss your friendly, "Hi, how are you?!" greetings and gentle tickles (no matter what their moods were). You were so understanding of children. Your cousins are heartbroken and will miss your caring ways. You have taught them so much in your short time on this earth, and for that we all feel so blessed. Your will be eternally loved and missed.

With broken hearts and flowing tears,
Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Joe
Lauren, and Samantha

You will always be in our hearts and thoughts. You brought such joy to your family and even though your life was taken, I know God had a purpose. You will be safe as Grandma and Uncle Harold will take care of you.
Love Aunt Peggy & Debbie

I remember growing up with my cousin Chris, he and I shared so much in common. We were both raised by our loving Grandparents and loved Aunt Elsie's cooking. Christopher will remain in my heart forever. We all love you!

Chris, buddy, it's me grandpa. I miss you so so much. My heart is broken in so many pieces that I don't know if I'll ever find them. I'm at peace knowing that you are with grandma, but the empty space in my heart and home will never be filled again. You were my buddy, companion, and fishing partner. I will always love you, and I'll miss you until the day we meet again.

Eternal love,
Grandpa
