Here's to my cousin once removed. Thanks for bringing such joy to your family and so many people. You were doing the Creator's work. Good job, now it is time to remember those things about you which you were remembered best for... Memory Eternal!

Chris, you will be missed by all of the staff and friends at Wool Street. You shared your friendship, laughs, and love of music with us. Thank you for touching all of our lives. We will never forget you, standing at the bar, wearing your black hat with a PBR in hand!

As Chris's drum teacher until 2007 I remember him--his gentleness, good humor, style, patience, and kindness to animals. He was a lot of fun to teach, enjoyed a challenge and a laugh. I especially remember his pet parrots and the way he would hold them and talk to them, like to children. Rest in Peace. Condolences to Roger, Deborah, and all the family.

I had the honor and joy of being Chris's drum teacher. He was gifted, talented, determined and gentle. I looked forward to each and every lesson as he was a joy to be with. We drummed, talked, laughed and shared our time together weekly. Chris was one of the nicest, most spirited young men I ever met and I am so sad for our loss. Im sorry because I lost more than a student but rather a friend that I loved and Im so sorry for his family. I will miss you, Chris.... so very much.

I didn't know you well, but we always talked outside, smoking cigarettes near the digital garage at Flashpoint. You always blew my mind with your knowledge and appreciation for punk rock history. Take care Chris, Rest in Peace

I took Kyuki-Do with Chris. He was a gentle giant of a man. He was unfaillingly supportive and always carried himself with the dignity which a gentle true spirit conveys. I will miss him a great deal on the nights I attend classes and pray that he is at rest.

Chris, I'll never forget how you stood patiently waiting at the end of every night, refusing to go until you gave me a hug. You gave the best hugs! I'm happy to know that you left knowing how much I cared for you, but so sad that I will always miss you and your amazing smile. Car bombs all around when I see you next buddy ;-)

I dreamt of you the night you left us here. We were together like we were years ago. The dream reminded me of just how truely beautiful a person you were to me. Never did I meet someone with so much spirit. When you smiled you shined like the sun. I have missed you over the years, as you know. You were too much of an angel for this world. May God watch over you and your family during this time. I have and always will keep you close in my heart. MissMess

Chris,
I will never forget our chats outside Flashpoint about the origins of Chicago punk music. You were a bright and stand-out guy, who exuded an infectious smile. I'm going to miss that. Take care, buddy!
