Chris and were close friends years ago but as some friends do we lost touch over the years. He was an amazing person whos smile really was contagious I rarley ever saw him without a smile on his face. He loved his family and wasnt afraid to show it. He was a loyal friend and will be in our hearts forever. you will be missed but never forgetten. I am lucky to have known him and to have him touch my life. To all that knew him may my thughts and prayers be with you.

To Chris' Family:
Words cannot explain the untimely death of Chris. We cannot explain, nor understand why tragedy strikes a person so young and full of life. Chris was an awesome person and always had a smile on his face. He was an excellent employee and always took pride in his work. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is physically gone, but the memories that we have of him will keep his spirit alive. Rest in Peace.
