Rich and I are going to miss you Chris. I will always remember all the nights we spent out and how we use to joke about people freaking out about driving 45 mins somewhere. Everywhere in Fl is 45 mins away. Chris was a big teddy bear and that is what I am going to miss the most about him. He made me feel so tiny

I will always remember that he had a great sense of humor. I remember this one face he used to make and everyone would laugh. He was a good friend to many people and will always be remembered.
May God Bless his family and may he rest in peace.

Chris I am going to miss you so much. Just thinking about all of the good memories we had makes me smile. I'm never going to forget you forcing me to watch the Family Guy and making me listen to that silly giddidy laugh that I couldn't stand. I'll never forget our long drives to see one another when you were stationed at Ft. Eustis. I'll never forget that genuine smile on your face. You were such a joy in my life, and you always will be. See you up above! I love you and will always miss you!

Rest in God's hands bro. You're gonna be missed non-stop by all those who had the honor of meeting you. I worked with Big Chris back in summer 06 at FT Eustis and became great pals. I enjoyed celebrating good nights in downtown Norfolk with him. May God be with his loved ones in this time of sadness. My condolences go to his family.

I REMEMBER CHRIS WORKING AT GRANBY THEATER BACK IN THE DAY, BEFORE I EVEN KNEW WHAT THE GRANBY THEATER WAS. THERE HE WOULD STAND, MANNING THE FRONT DOOR LIKE SOME ELITE SOLDIER TOWERING OVER WOULD BE INTRUDERS. THE INTRUDERS WERE ACTUALLY US, BUT HE WOULD LET US IN TO FEAST ON THE FREE BUFFET-WHEN THEY HAD A BUFFET. GRABY THEATER WAS THE HALFWAY POINT TO THE OTHER NIGHTCLUBS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF GRANBY STREET, LIKE A REST STOP TO GATHER PROVISIONS. ANYWAYS, THAT WAS WHERE I FIRST MET BIG CHRIS. REALLY COOL GUY, DESERVED ONLY THE BEST. YEAH MAN, I STILL HAVE YOUR DEMO CD. I WISHED I CAME UP WITH A BETTER LOGO FOR YOU WHEN YOU NEEDED IT. GONNA MISS YOU MAN.

I worked with Michelle & got to know her well. I remember when she took time off to be with Chris while he was on leave & how proud she was of him.

I cried with you when I realized who Chris was because of the memories Michelle shared with us & how much he is going to be missed.

I also remember when Michelle's Father had surgery & when home with her. He loved Chris so very much.

My thoughts & prayers are with the family.

God Bless!

I met Chris while we were deployed and we clicked. He was a great person who always wanted to make sure that everybody enjoyed themselves. I am honored to say that you were my friend. It's a shame you were taken from us so soon. You will be sorely missed. I'll see you again someday bro.

He was the first person to take us in as new soldiers in a new unit. He showed us around. He let me spend my 21st birthday with him and his friends. I will never forget him.

I was deployed with Scicly in 04. He always had us laughing and he was always there for us if we ever wanted to talk or just hang out. He had an amazing heart! I feel honored that I got the chance to know him and to be able to call him my friend. He was a great guy! He'll be sadly missed! I send my condolencesto his family and friends.

My condolences to the family and friends of Chris. I can still see him walking through the halls of GHS and knew why he was called "Big Chris" with an equally big heart.
