Christopher, I think of you often and Melinda and I had drinks the other night and reminisced about all of the times you came out to hang out with us at the ranch, the time that you rode horses with us and lost the reins and were bouncing off from one side to the other but never fell off until we could save you :) We spoke of how much fun we all used to have and your sweet sole. The time when I realized that Kim had assisted you with jewelry that I cursed you for....or at least that is what you told me lol...very funny inside joke not for public :) We spoke of your beautiful eyes that matched your sole and how handsome you were. What a tragic loss it was the day you left this earth. Your fun and sweet spirit is in my mind so often. I loved you then and love you still. I know that you are keeping God good company. I pray for your family and sweet Britt. I miss you my sweet sweet friend

Chris was one of the most giving, honest and genuine men I have ever known. His sweet disposition and caring love for so many things was definitely out of the ordinary of today's world which really made Chris special. He always had the kindest things to say at the right time and everything he said came right from the heart. Chris has been in my heart since the day I met him and he will continue to be. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Curless family and of course, always with Chris. God bless you all.

Christopher,

My very sweet friend I do not know what happened and am waiting to hear back from someone in your family. You were so very special to me. You were one of the kindest men I have ever dated and loved and remaining one of my very best friends even after the break up. You were always a gentleman and I will forever love and miss you. So many great times and laughs, you will always be in my heart. May God hold you close and make everything better where you are now. Rest in peace my sweet friend I love you now and forever...

Hey buddy, oh my what words can we all say, you were such a big part of our lives especially our boys lives, and you didn't even know it. We will never forget goin up to your parents place. You gave me the ride of my life on your snow mobile. I hung on for my life laughing and screaming, and it was awesome! Then later you played stratego with Preston and Cameron and kicked both their butt, so we bought that for them that very next Christmas so they could learn and beat you! The boys will always remember that memory. Chris and I remember all the late night talks, trying to solve the worlds problems, and we think we did at one point! You were always there for us, and it didn't matter what time of night it was you would come over and share your beautiful smile and knowledge and inspiration of your life, and it was more than awesome! You have always been an inspiration to us and our boys, you will be deeply missed. We love you more than you will ever know. We know deep in our hearts that your will always watch over us especially Preston and Cameron, because you shared a great love for them that was unbelievable. Thank you Chris for being there for us. We love you sooo much, and will miss you deeply.

With our deepest love and sincerety,
Mary, Chris, Preston and Cameron Nicholl.

We are so deeply saddend by your loss and feel for your parents. We love you so much and always will. You have played a big part in our boys lives and we thank you for that.

Chris, I will miss seeing you at work, walking down the halls and driving up at the same time every morning when you worked. You were always so polite and friendly. I always enjoyed visiting with you. You will be missed and thought of often. May the wonderful memories your family have of you help them in their time of grief. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. Sandy Vargas
