Dear Christopher,
Today on Mother's Day, as I do on every day and moment, I ache for you with all my heart.

Dear Ann: We celebrated Christopher's life last Friday, and it is still so hard to believe that he was not there with us. His Memorial Foundation is now a reality, and his memory will be honoured by the work done by his family and friends. Scripture says: "Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted." I wish for you, my sister, all the comfort the world can give and let me tell you that we are here for you, and that our home is always your home.
Love

We were all thinking of you on your birthday on Friday, and missing you so much. So many people showed up to remember and celebrate you and to make a toast to the great son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend they loved so much. You are obviously not forgotten and never will be.
Love you so much!

Hello Anne, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Chris' passing. While I didn't know Chris all that well, as a mom I can't image the pain of losing a child. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was shocked and deeply saddened when I heard the news about Chris. I knew Chris from our high school days, and remember him as being funny, so funny... the life of any party. I had the pleasure of getting to know Chris better when we took Law OAC at Ridgemont night class. We had a blast... and he unbelievably made Law class, well, fun.
I saw Chris a few years back while in Ottawa visiting my parents. I was backing out of their driveway, and there was Chris, with a big smile on this face. Small world! My parents had moved right across the street from Chris' Gilmour apartment. We chatted for about 15 minutes. I hugged him goodbye. That was the last time I saw Chris.
My thoughts and prayers are with Chris, his family and friends. He truly was a fantastic one!

To all of Chris's family,
I went to high school with Chris, and although it has been a long time since I last saw him I was devastated to hear the sad news of his passing. I will always remember his warmth, his positivity and his clever sense of humour. Every image I conger of him contains a big smile. My deepest sympathies go out to Chris's family and all of his close friends. With all sincerity, Julie (Penny) Little

Chris/Jackson (As I remember him):
He was so willing to bring life whenever there was darkness, sadness, even just plain boredom. His smile, laugh and general satisfaction are now ever-lasting memories in my heart. Tenderness of the spirit is the only way I can express my feelings for a world without him. Good Bye Jackson- for now.

To the Family of Chris Davis,
I would like to tell you how great it was to work with Chris for the past year and a half, it was a blessing to work with someone as happy and joyful. He always had a great attitude that would lift this spirits of everyone else around him. His presence will be missed by all that were lucky enough to know him.
God Bless,

The world will definitely be a poorer place without Chris. He was truly one of kind, an absolute warrior on the rugby field, and the life of the party off of it. His big smile will be with us all always.

To all family and friends,
I knew Chris from our days in a band in 1997. I feel blessed that our paths crossed. Chris's amiable disposition and joie de vivre are unmatched. As a testament to his character, while I hadn't seen him in the last ten years or so, my heart broke when I heard the news. He made a lasting impression on my life in such a short time.

October 17, 2008
Dear Ann,
"Incomparable" was the word you used to describe Chris as a son. He was also an incomparable friend, mentor, wit and shoulder to cry on. I loved his larger than life attitude, and he was a wonderful influence on my daughters, to whom he taught his songs, and the art of songwriting. As I said, we have one of his guitars, which we will cherish forever and remember to belt out our songs, to be fearless and to give up worrying what others think.
We miss him and love him.
David Fransen
October 17, 2008
I had only just met Chris briefly on his visit to New York, but I immediately held him in the highest regard and will continue to do so. There are few people I can say I've met who have made me feel such an immediate sense of togetherness and positivity. He is one of them and will be remembered as such. Sincerest condolences, but equally sincere thanks for raising a man who made such an immediate and lasting impression in such a brief time I had to know him.

Dear Anne and Robert,
We were devestated to hear about Chris. Our hearts go out to you and your family in deep sympathy. We have so many fond memories of Chris in his younger years with Steve and Jamie. He was so intelligent and kind. We loved to hear his laugh. It was wonderful to see him again at Stephen's wedding and spend some time talking with him. He seemed very happy and had great plans. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest condolances.

To all family and friends,
Christopher will always be with me. He was one of my closest friends, and taught me so much about art, life, music, friendship, and every other subject under the sun. His zest for life and his passion for all the things he cared about will remain a shining example for me always. He will be dearly missed. Love you brother,

Dear Anne
Our sympathies and thoughts go out to you on such a very sad time. It is true that the loss of a child is one of the hardest things a parent can go through. But for as long as we have known you, we know that you have the strength to go on and keep his memory alive within your heart. Remember the hope that is held out to all at Rev. 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away”. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Anne, Robert, and Harvey
I was shocked and saddened to hear of the accident. I feel deeply for you all, one is never prepared for this to happen. I remember when you visited us (in Ottawa) from Texas when Christopher was a toddler, how amusing I thought it was to look over at Christopher and his father from behind, both of them seated in exactly the same posture on our family room steps to watch a football game. He was a real cherub and even as a young man still retained some of those cherubic looks. Our lives will be emptier without him.
Much love to you all,
Your cousin, Anne Armstrong

My deepest sympathies and condolences to you and all your family.
It was obvious in your conversations how deeply you love your boys and thus I can't even begin to fathom your sorrow at this loss. It is obvious from the many entries that Christopher both touched and brightened many lives.
I hope you find comfort and peace amongst family and friends.

I knew Chris in high school and had the privilege of being in many classes with him at Brookfield. I have the distinct honour of being his wife in Grade 12 Co-ed Phys.Ed/Health, and to this day, his rendition of Mrs Loman from "Death of a Salesman" during English class still makes me laugh out loud. Chris had a natural ability to make us all laugh. I will always remember his warmth and humour. My heartfelt condolences go out to Chris' family and friends.
Naomi Taller (Ottawa, ON)

Chris was always kind hearted to me, even though i was the nerdy friend of his brother Robert. He always had jokes up his sleeves, and encouragement to give.
My thoughts are with you Rob, as with you Ms Davis.

To Chris's family and many, many friends, I offer my deepest condolences. I did not know him, but somehow feel that I do after attending the wake at Trudy's. Offering assistance at the scene that morning by calling 911, I was doing what anyone would do. Now, after all this, I feel I have grown as a person after meeting his family and some of his dear friends. I truly wish I would have known Chris. What a great guy he must of been. Keep the happy memories close...
Alex Stedman (Austin, TX)
October 4, 2008
I worked with Chris, here in Ottawa. He was such a lovely guy... Funny, articulate, intelligent.
It was sad to say goodbye to him when he headed off to Austin but he was so excited and happy to be going. So many plans and promise... Such a terrible and sad loss.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Words can not express the sorrow I feel for Christopher's family. I open my heart to you all. When I remember Christopher it is as a little boy. He was always curious and busy. These memories bring a smile to my face and it seems he continued to bring smiles to those around him.

Mi muy querida prima Anne:
Realmente no encontramos las palabras para decirte cuánto sentimos tu pérdida. Para nosotros, Christopher siempre va a ser el bebito que gateaba por toda la casa y hasta subía las escaleras; nunca podía estar quieto y era muy lindo con todos.
Esperamos que encuentres la fortaleza para seguir adelante y para que lo encuentres siempre en tu corazón.
Un beso muy grande para tí y para Robert de tus primos que siempre te recuerdan.

I broke out in tears this morning at work, as I happened across a memory of Chris -- one of my earliest of him.
It was from a party I was hosting about seven years ago. It was late and I was hungry. It wasn't long before I was walking back into the living room with a freshly-microwaved slice of leftover pizza.
As I ate it, Chris approached me somewhat shyly [we didn't know each other very well at the time], and asked me if he could buy a piece. He was hungry too.
Chris had not yet begun that almost unbelievable personal transformation he would later undertake, and I felt terrible for not having offered him to share in the little I had left over.
Needless to say, there was no charge for the pizza. But it was the beginning of my friendship with him.
And maybe that is where the tears came from this morning. Because before that moment, I hadn't been quite as nice to him as I could have been.
As I got to know and truly like him over the years that followed, I hadn't given that slice of pizza any thought until this morning.
I am going to miss Chris very much. He was as smart and deftly quick-witted as I ever knew anyone to be. Reading the comments below it is clear that I had only begun to see the breadth and depth of all he had to offer his friends, not to mention his family.
He was, and will remain, a huge inspiration to me. My heart and love go out to all those close to him.
'Heaven is a better place today, because of this...but the world is just not the same.'
Goodbye Chris

Dearest Anne, I remember Chris learning to creep the stairs at our house in Los Capulies. I?m so sorry for your loss and would have liked to be with you at such a difficult moment. I'll be talking to you as soon as possible. I've been praying to God to give you strength and will continue to do so. Zulita (Lima, Peru)

I have just known of the loss of Christopher, who we first met when he was only a little child here in Lima.
You know that you and your family are always in the hearts of your Peruvian family, specially at this very sad moment.

My thoughts and prayers are extended to Chris' family and many, many friends. I had the privilege of not only knowing Chris, but experiencing his awesome musical talents. He was a giant among small ones when he had a guitar in his hands. I'll miss his humour and live life to the fullest attitude. Everyone who knew Chris has benefited from his generosity and kindness.

The last I talked to Chris was when we graduated from high school. On the day we received our diploma; the memory I have most of that day was Chris's speech that was read to the graduating class. It was at that moment I realized that this would probably be the last day that many of us will ever talk or see each other. Chris was a very special person and he touched all who knew him.
My lasting memory of Chris was him singing the legendary tune of "By e Bye Miss American Pie" on the beeches in Vancouver when we were there on a Rugby Tour.
Chris, your Memories will live on and the world will miss you.
Cheers to Chris

Anne and Robert,
I am truly sorry for your loss, although my words are minuscule to aid in your comfort, I know that they are joined in a sea of love and support. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Chris that well, but my dad informed me that him and I shared a passion for writing. So even in his absence, in the light, Chris will always continue to bring inspiration into our lives. My memory of Chris will always be a portrait of his great smile, which was always bright in family gatherings.
My thoughts of peace and courage are with you and again my deepest condolences.

Our hearts are absolutely shattered at just the very thought of your loss. We were so lucky to have known Christopher if only for a short while, and had the misfortune of not having spent enough time getting to him better. You both have our most deepest sympathies. We will see you when you return to Ottawa and we will bring tea, love and all of our
support in this most tragic of times. Our thoughts and heart are with you.

Chris,
It has taken me awhile to get to the place where I can write anything at all. I've been told repeatedly to remember the good times, and while there are indeed good times to remember, there is one indelible imprint that you have left on me - and that has been your immense capacity to love. You loved with enthusiasm, Chris. There is no other way to describe it. You wore your heart on your sleeve like no one that I have ever known before. You left no room for doubt. You have left behind so many friends, and a family who I am sure have no doubt that they were loved by you. It is a testament to the way you chose to live. To love with enthusiasm is a lesson I will take from you. I promise to never forget it. I promise to never forget you (as if I ever could).
Teresa (Ottawa, ON)

It's been a long while since Chris and I last spoke but I remember our last conversation like it was yesterday. What I will remember most about him was his genuine passion for life and his warm character. Even though I did not know Chris very well, I always felt he had that gift. The gift of knowing life as it is and what it means to be human. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Chris. My deepest regrets to the family. He will be greatly missed.
Sincerely,

I'm so so sorry to hear of this terrible tragedy; Christopher was a joy, I remember him at Charleston Lake as a small boy "superman!"...and, he was. He had a beautiful smile, I always thought he looked like Tom Cruise, he was always happy, and a loss for all of us. You are all in our prayers, Jane (Armstrong) Vaughan, Brian, Thomas and Laura Vaughan

Dear Harvey, Anne, Robert, the Davis and Fernandez-Davila extended families, and Christopher's friends everywhere. First, my deepest condolences to Harvey, Anne, and Robert, no words can address the depth of your loss. A light that shone brightly in all of our lives is gone, and we are the poorer for it. He will live forever in our memories: his joy for life, his cerebral humour, his sense of camaraderie and his innate goodness will inspire us on. We love you and miss you Christopher.

I lived in Austin for almost 2 years. During this time I became very close to Chris. We would encourage each other to write our novels and he would often serenade me whenever there was a guitar lying around. I am overwhelmed and grateful that I had the honor of spending Chris' last moments here with him. I can assure you all that he had a smile on his face the entire evening and he made sure everyone around him did too. His glowing presence and encouraging words will remain in our hearts forever. I am so very sorry...

To Anne and the Davis family,
We are so deeply sorry and absolutely devastated for your loss and for ours of our nephew and cousin. To say that Christopher was an amazing person is an understatement, and the beautiful messages from those he touched, attest to that. Our lives will never be the same, and we will miss him beyond words. We are so lucky to have had him in our lives and to have all the wonderful memories that we do. Harvey, he always spoke so highly of you. Robert, he was proud to be your big brother. Anne, we got to see the amazing bond you shared up close and will cherish that forever. We love you so much Christopher, and will never forget you.

I don't actually remember meeting Chris, or getting to know him. It's as though whenever that was, we were already great friends.

He is now and always, good love.

Chris and I became good friends as we sat in high school English class and challenged each other's thoughts regularly. The brute rugby player with the mind of a poet. Though I haven't spent time with the family, I know you were so loved by him; be proud that all his great qualities come from the connections he had with you. We miss him so much, and we're so grateful to have laughed and danced with him this month in London. I hope his strength and spirit bring all of us comfort, especially those who love and miss him most. Love Stace

I want to express my sincerest condolences to the Davis family, and say that Chris was one of my best friends at Trudy's. His ability to make us all laugh in the most stressfull situations will be missed. Whenever I came to work and saw that I was working with Chris it made me happy, because he has a joyfull inspiring soul. I know that I speak for everyone at Trudy's and all that knew him, that he will be missed, and always remembered.

Chris held out his hands and heart to me during the fun times and the rough. He is so talented with words, be them silly or gut-wrenching. I will always love Chris. My heart goes out to his family that raised a fine man. And to his best friend, Chad, that brought us together.

I join my siblings in sending my deepest sympathies to Anne, Harvey, Robert, and the rest of the family. Most of us have not seen Christopher since he was a little boy, but that distance has not diminished our grief. Christopher was an important part of our lives then. We could be a cynical bunch, my siblings and me. Christopher always made us less so. Being around Christopher reminded us that we were still children ourselves, and that it was never too late to reclaim a bit of joy. My guess is that he never stopped teaching that lesson.

I feel so sad for Anne, Harvey and Robert. Davis (as we knew him) was a very great friend of mine, one of my closest. I visited Anne in Ottawa once and had the pleasure to meet some of his family.
I saw him just two weeks ago in New York, and he was as happy and hilarious as ever. We all miss him - he had legions of friends. He was a great guy.

My deepest condolences to all of Chris's family and many friends. My memories of Chris go back to his high school years, when he played rugby and football with my sons at Brookfield High. He was a tiger on the field! . . but in our many conversations, I was always impressed by what a kind and gentle soul he really was. I hope the fun, the memories and the camaraderie his friends shared with Chris will be a comfort to them in the years to come.

I am devastated to hear of the loss of one of your most precious sons, Christopher. My heart breaks for you because I know you so loved him. I know this from the way you smiled when you spoke of him.

Keep him now, safe in your heart, where you can always find him.

There are no words of the deep saddness felt. "Little" Christopher was such a joyous boy. I fondly remember so many things about growing up with him- the endless games with his star wars figures, the walks to the playground at the school by his house, hunting Easter Eggs in his back yard, and so many fun games. Christopher taught me so much about patience and unconditional love from a child. He grew up to be a wonderful man full of life. There will always be a special place in my heart for Christopher. The world is a little lonlier without him. My thoughts and prayers are with Anne, Harvey and Robert and the rest of their family during this difficult time. My love to you all.
Charlotte Stewart (Ackermann) (Biggsville, IL)

Christopher,
You were my sweetest cousin, with such a good heart, and such willpower - your personal transformation attested to your grit and determination. We didn't get to visit much recently, but I remember even as a toddler, or as a 4 or 5 year old, you were the sweetest kid. I used to like to tease little kids, but I just couldn't bring myself to do that do you, you had such a golden heart. I remember you and your dad, my uncle Harvey, had such a great relationship. Your dad would talk to you normally, not with baby talk, and you would respond very clearly with very smart answers. As an adult I know you were a great friend to your friends, and very supportive of those close to you. I'm going to miss you Chris. God bless you, your mom, your dad, and Robert.

Dear Anne, Robert, and Harvey
I was shocked and saddened to hear of the accident. I feel deeply for you all, one is never prepared for this to happen. I remember when you visited us (in Ottawa) from Texas when Christopher was a toddler, how amusing I thought it was to look over at Christopher and his father from behind, both of them seated in exactly the same posture on our family room steps to watch a football game. He was a real cherub and even as a young man still retained some of those cherubic looks. Our lives will be emptier without him.
Much love to you all,
Your cousin, Anne Armstrong
