Tammy and Noah:

I am so sorry about Chris' death. He was too young to die. I don't know what to say to the family. I can only image how terrible it is to lose a child. Please express my sympathy to your mom and dad.

Wyatt and his family would like to express their deepest sorrow for the lost of Chris. He had a very special place in our hearts and will truly be missed. His smile could light up a room. His humor was addicting. He was Wyatt's best friend and like a son to us. We will treasure every moment we had with him. We love you Chris! The Cousins Family
