To the family, Amy and Bett,
I grew up across the street from him. I used to love hearing his nickname for me. He called me Farrah because of my hair. He was like a big brother to me. I will miss him alot but know he is free of pain. I am so sorry for your loss. He is now our angel watching over us. We miss you Kris. You will always in our heart.

Kris was a special person, apparent from the early days in his life. He has accomplished so much in his relatively short time here but leaves a wonderful legacy in his family and the memories of his friends. He is sorely missed.

Amy, Debbie and the entire family, please pass on our love from all the Kinnairds at this sad time. I love the words written to describe Kris -- a man who loved his family, nature and his dog! I think he had the right idea!

Sorry to hear of the passing of Kris. I knew of many memories of him through Martin Longest whom he grew up with in Morningside. God will be with you at this time and he will hold you in his arms let you know that he is not suffering any longer. My mother had the same type of cancer.
