Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

To a great friend, even though I only knew you through a computer!

I wish I knew Chris (Tyler F Druden) in person, I only met him on eRepublik, he was one of those legendary heroes you hear about and it was an honor that i knew him. Chris; I miss you my friend and I will remember you for the rest of my life.

My name is Michael Collins, and Chris was my brother. :'( i am so very touched by everyone who has responded here...and on eRepublik, a game he LOVED to play! it's very humbling to hear all the wonderful and amazing things everyone has to say about my brother. i'm so very glad that Chris had the opportunity to touch all of your lives in whatever way he did, be it online or in his day to day life. it makes me very proud to know that he had such a huge impact on so many. i'm not sure how much of the details you have heard about my brother's death but i feel you should know, at least why he isn't here with us today.
Chris and his girlfriend were on a mini-vacation in the United States, just days before he was to return to vancouver to start filming on a new production. he was travelling westbound on an interstate hwy. the time was 11:11pm, Monday, May 31st, 2010. A 27 year old man was travelling in the opposite direction, when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle and ended up crossing the grassy median and hitting Chris and his girlfriend head on. both the other gentleman, as well as Chris, succumbed to their injuries instantly. please rest assured, Chris did not feel any pain whatsoever in his passing. it WAS immediate.
i do wish to make public one other thing about the accident.
the California Highway Patrol, upon conclusion of their investigation, announced that in Chris' final seconds, knowing what was about to happen, took it upon himself to turn the car hard to the right...and in doing so, saved the life of his girlfriend, Yulia Shtern. for that fact, i am so very, very proud of my brother, for making the ultimate sacrifice...to give up his own life to save another.
Chris will always be my hero for undertaking such an act in his final moments. so selfless an act. but that was a big part of who Chris was...always giving of himself to others...always putting others ahead of himself.
Chris...little brother...i miss you so terribly. i wish we had had more time together on this earth. i wish you hadn't been travelling down that lonely highway on that warm May night. i wish a lot of things Chris, but what i really, truly wish for, is for you to be still be here with us. we all miss you more than you will ever know...Mom, Geoff, and I. our lives will never be the same again, as we are left with a part of our heart missing.
Thank you for being such a great brother to me. you are one of a kind and irreplaceable in everyone's lives.
Fare thee well Chris. i'll see you in heaven.
Love, your brother Michael.
To all who knew him, please feel free to get in touch with me if u have the time or means. i am posting my information below. thank you everyone, for all your thoughts and prayers. they were welcomed warmly by our family.

Like many people who have already signed Christopher's guest list, I knew him online, as "Tyler F Durden" on eRepublik. I have been gone a long time online, and I just found out what happened to my friend.
I want to wish his family well, by keeping his online guestbook open for another year.
I will remember the times we had to the very end, and I will cherish them forever.
Rest in Peace My old Friend.
eCanada Smiles Upon you Chris, We miss you.

I was also lucky enough to know Chris online through eRepublik. He played the game it was meant to be played, and I will never forget him. We had a lot of laughs together.

I only found out about Chris's death yesterday and I still really can't believe it (continuing to hope it's an elaborate prank). I, as well, only knew "TFD" through his online personality, but I, like everybody else who knew him, could tell even from that what a great, charismatic person he was. Rest in Peace, Christopher.

Chris,
You made me laugh so many times. The summer of Neal & Nikki was such a fun time. I have thought of you often and to think of you as "gone" just doesn't seem right. Instead, I will think of you as somewhere else, making others laugh with your sly wit.
Love Deb

Although I was unable to attend Chris' funeral today, I did manage to go to his viewing yesterday and I must say it left such an empty feeling in my heart. Seeing him for the last time, especially in that state, was a memory I hope I'll soon forget. It's too bad it takes this kind of tragedy to really know what it feels like to have lost something you had someone, knowing you can never have it with them again.
I want to remember Chris as the witty, entertaining fellow he was. He had a way of expressing himself, always with just the right amount of sarcasm. I can honestly say with Chris I laughed as hard as I ever have. We had some unforgettable times together and we also had our share of disagreements but that was just Chris. That's what made him special. He was his own man, to be sure. Quirky, frustratingly stubborn at times, intelligent, often paranoid but with an unusual style of intellectual humor that truly made him memorable.
Friendships are a curious thing. People can come and go throughout our lives, some for longer periods than others but the friendship is measured by the strength of the feelings it invokes in us, regardless of how much or how little time we were able to spend together.
In life, Chris, ole buddy, you brought tears to my eyes through laughter and now, once again, because you are not able to do it any longer. I thank you for sharing with me some of the precious time you had with us.
I hope you're still laughing, Big Guy.

I only knew Chris through his online presence, but what a presence it was. The fact that he influenced my life through an online game speaks of the passion he put into it. I can only imagine the passion he showed in the rest of his life. He will be sorely missed in our community.

I was introduced to Chris through a mutual friend Jason Yee. I hung out about a half dozen times with Chris through Jason. Whenever the three of us got together we had a great time. I will miss you buddy I wish I spent more time with you.

I was lucky to have had the chance to share in the game with Chris. We did not always see eye to eye, but the game was far more interesting and exciting for him being there. I miss your presence and everything you brought especially that wicked sense of humour!
See you on the flip side bro!

I wish I knew Chris better. What I knew of him I liked and respected. I feel emptier for not having the chance to get to know him better.

Dear friend ... though I never met you in person your friendship meant the world to me. The game isn't the same without you - I miss your intelligence, your humor and your dedication to the people around you. Give 'em hell in Heaven, TFD! Love and blessings to your family.
I'm donating to Doctor's Without Borders in your honor.
Thank you for being part of my life, if only for a short time.
