Hello ! I am saddened to stumble upon this news of this fellow who died so young. I am trying to find out if he's the same coworker I knew when I worked at Tropical Smoothie in Richmond. Would have been in 2008. If anyone can verify this please let me know . The Chris I knew was a great guy. He encouraged me in my music as well. Thanks

I miss you Christopher John Haynes! My husband that never came to be. I was on my way to you and you slipped through my fingertips. I will NEVER forget your love. I feel you with me every day.

Christopher John Haynes. You were the only one for me. I love you and I always will. Here it is 9 months later and I still can't believe you are gone. I don't understand why you are no longer on this earth and I am, but I know that you would want me to live life to the fullest. I just wish that I would have known what life would have been like if it had been spent with you. You were one of the funniest people I have ever known.You always knew how to make me laugh. You said that God brought us together and that we would be together forever. I think about that every day. I got a tattoo that says Christopher John Haynes 1990-2010 Amore Per Sempre. Memories of us always float through my mind. I would give anything to see your wonderful grin again and see your dark beautiful eyes staring back into mine. I love you Chris. Love always and forever, Ashley Lynne Oppel

Brandy and Family -

I am very sorry for what you are going through. It is and will be one of the hardest times in your lives. But, hold tight to those memories you have made together and stories from friends and family of times that they have gotten to be a part of. For he will never be gone, nor forgotten he will always be here with you and your family and friends because as long as you breath he will never be forgotten. He is you and all of you who made him who he was and is. I had the pleasure to meet him he was a handsome and sweet young man and loved his family very much. If you need anything we will be here for you.

So many things that I want to tell you..If only I had a chance..You were taking with no warning and its not fair! Your one of the greatest guys I've ever had the pleasure to meet and cant wait for the day I get to see you again :( Just cant seem to grasp the fact that your really gone. Go to bed every night hoping that I would wake up and it was all a dream...and so far that hasnt worked. Still remember the call that I got that night..well half of it atleast..My body went numb and no words would come out...tears began to flow. Just couldnt believe it or maybe I just didnt want to believe it..It was just not long ago you were here at my house watching movies and hanging out...or calling me and cussing me out for as u put it "standing u up" :) which I swear I never did! I'm still holding you to that dinner u promised to make me..one day somehow we will make it work...till then u better watch out for all of us! Love u soo much and so badly wish we had more time! RIP xoxo u will never be forgotten

Hey hun,
There is just so much that I can say, but I just don't know where to start...you have always been such a loyal friend/brother and even sometimes like my child. You were the only person that could piss me off and IMMEDIATELY start making me laugh--you were always so silly! :) You were always there for me and many other people no matter what. You had a heart like NO OTHER and never judged anyone..coming down to Richmond will never be the same. I'll NEVER forget the way you looked/laughed and got into my face EVERY TIME you thought something was hilarious- while shoving me back into the couch hahaha...Each day I wake up praying that this was all just a bad dream, but I promise you I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS "live it up" as you would want me to...I love you more than words can explain and I consider myself sooo blessed to have had you in my life. You will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you hun and always will!! xoxo <3
