To the Fifer family,

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

So sorry to hear of your loss, we just heard about this. Please call us if you need anything.

Jim, Judy and Jason - I am deeply saddened to hear of Chris' passing. My family's prayers are with you and your family.

Amy, Judy, Jim and Jason,
I was distressed to learn that Chris had passed away. I cannot even imagine what you and your family are going through. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Chris was such a nice young man, one whom I was pleased to know during the past several years. He was always kind and thoughtful, and so very proud of his family. Once several years ago when I was over at the shop and did not yet know Chris or Jason well, I told them that I had a hard time telling the two apart. Chris looked at me earnestly and said that "it would mean alot to me when you can tell the two of us apart" which ofcourse I could soon thereafter. I thought that this was such a sweet, sincere thought, and I was honored that Chris cared that I recognized him as Chris.
Please take care, and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and your family. Will

To the entire Fifer Family,
We live so close but only became friends a few years ago through the boys football where Chris became an inspiration to many young men in our county as he helped coach the team and teach them what TEAM work is about. Your family will be in our prayers and we hope you know we are only a few doors away if you ever need anything. God will certainly be there to embrace each of you during this time of sorrow and forever. Love, Terry, Joan, Stephen, Jennifer and Matthew West

To the Fifer Family,

My prayers and thoughts are with you. I am so very sorry for your loss. I went to school with Chris and have never forgotten over the years his smile, his laughter and his overall wonderful personaility. It was rare to see Chris and to not see a smile on his face.

Look to God in the days ahead for peace and comfort. Hold on to your memories as they last forever.

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9


The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18


Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you;he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22


Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

I am fairly new to the county and Chris was one of the people from here to welcome my family to the area. He has helped my son become 1 of the best wrestlers on the team here in Louisa. He has helped with football and baseball too. He has made a lasting impression on myself and my family. He was a big, funny, goofy, playful, intense, honest and helpful coach and friend. I wish there were more people like Chris around, we would all benefit. To the family, we wish you nothing but good memories and condolences. We are here for you to lean on or just talk, so do not hesitate. We will be thinking of you and Chris and saying prayers. Please be well and God's Speed to you!

Sincerely,
