Christopher T. Riviere Obituary
Riviere was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. He died nine days after arriving in Iraq, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported for Thursday's editions. Riviere attended Cooper City High School and joined the Marines about a year ago. At a going away party held over Labor Day weekend he requested both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners be served because he knew he would not be back before the end of the year, his aunt Connie Pie said. Riviere is survived by his mother, stepfather and two younger sisters.

Chris, you've been on my mind everyday. I had a friend tell me the other day to give it up and quit living in the past. I'm not living in the past, but I'm not going to forget the past. I plan every year to go to Arlington and see you; but every time the date comes around for me to go, I back out. I can never build up the courage to actually come. One day I will actually build up the courage and come see you.

Thought of you today and had to find your picture. I remember how you told me you were scared of planes on the way to boot camp. I traded seats so I could sit next to you and we talked all day and night. We were so nervous when they separated the bus to PI by gender, but you made it your mission to sit right behind me so you could whisper to me and keep me sane.
You were such a great friend and I miss you dearly. I'll always remember the night you took me to the old mall parking garage so we could see the stars. "We go together like peanut butter and girls," you said.
I'll visit you in Arlington again soon. Love you lots

To My son, Another year has come and gone without you. I am so very proud of you and I love and miss you very much. Some people say I should get on with my life and that is what you would have wanted; but I can't no matter how hard I try and a lot of the time I blame myself for your death and I could not be there to save you. Hopefully one day the whole family and everyone who misses you can be with you again. Love mom. By the way JOB WELL DONE MARINE

Today, I had the honor of representing PFC Riviere during the “Walk for the Fallen” event in Tampa Bay. It was an honor to represent his memory.
I am very sorry for your loss but his memory is very much alive as proven today. He is a hero and I shall not forget his courageous sacrifice.

In Memory of Christopher ~ (Debra Estep)
September 26, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Christopher, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I saw a commercial on Tv the other day, and there was a stuffed monkey sitting on the lap of this child in a car advertisement. The monkey reminded me of the one Chris carried around with him at the age of 5. Mike hid the monkey on you and you tried to find him, in tears you cried. ---to your Mom. The monkey was finally found. I only wish we had you and all of this was JUST a dream.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Freedom is not free and sometimes the cost can be almost overwhelming. We are so sorry for your loss. Christopher stands as a true American hero and will never be forgotten. We too have lost a soldier. Spec. Nicholas Brown was in 2/7 Cav of 1st Cavalry Division. He left behind a young wife and newborn son. We feel such a mix of pain and pride. We would like to thank his family for raising such a son. Thank you,

My beloved nephew "Kiki" I miss you dearly. You have left a huge hole in my heart that will never be filled. Everybody you left behind have been changed forever. The only thing that keeps us going is knowing you are in a better place and are looking down at us with a smile. We love you and miss you very much.

Dear Christopher,
Although we did not know you personally, we feel a bond with you. I grew up in Davie Fl., back then my name was June Ryan. My husband Milt Letendre was from Hollywood FL. We both went to Cooper City High School and Graduated in 1975. We now reside in Woodbridge Va. Our son Capt. Brian Letendre was killed in action on May 03, 2006 in Al Anbar Province Iraq. Brian is resting at Arlington National Cemetery not far from you. When I came across your name and realized you were also a graduate from Cooper City High School, my heart broke. The war hit close to home for a second time. I observed your funeral from a distance with Brian’s younger brother Justin, who was also a Marine, and prayed along with your family. I feel that my Brian is at rest with the best men and woman God has blessed our country with. God’s warriors and our heroes. Since the death of our son, we have grown very close to section 60 at Arlington. The story of a hero lies beneath every stone. We visit ANC almost every Sunday and we always make sure to stop and pay our respect to you. Even though we never met in person, please know you and your family are in our hearts and in our prayers.
Sincerely
June and Milt Letendre

“Paid in Full”
To Honor The Service of Fallen and Injured Marines
Marines through and through, they paid the price
Six thousand miles away, we live the life
For which they paid with their blood, spirits and bodies
We will never forget what they paid in full
We hope and we pray that somehow their loved ones find comfort
In God, in the flag, in the memory of their loved ones’ bravery
They’re gone now but we see them still…proud, strong, willing
Covering each other’s backs… courageous, moving forward
What kind of love did they have for us to be willing
To give it all for the Black, White, Jew, Christian, Muslim?
We don’t comprehend but we honor you now and forever
You are Our Marines…some living…some not
Forever in our hearts we will cherish your lives
Lives too short yet immortal they’ll be
Highest brotherhood of the Few, the Proud
They stand at attention, and we gaze with awe
Some know their names not, but our admiration for them
Flows limitless within us, between us
They sacrificed their limbs or their lives
Freedom still rings, a soft sound across the miles
It tolls slowly; all of creation takes note
Of the lives that were lost for people unknown
Out of sight but not lost; forever among us
The starched blues marching straight
Toward the place where we will meet them
Many years from now…how we loved them…
Well done beloved Brothers and Sisters…You’ve paid it in full
Always Faithful Marines, You Have Paid it in Full

PFC Christopher Rivieres' Family
There are no words to express the sadness that I feel over your loss. I was there with my Fiancee the day they deployed and I had the honor of meeting your son. He later told my Fiancee how good we looked together. My Fiancee wrote to me that attending Chris' Memorial Service incounty was the hardest thing he has ever experienced. Chris was an Angel walking among us and our Country will never be the same without him here. He is truly our Hero and now he stands at rest with our other fallen heroes. I welcome the day that I can be among these fine brave souls who gave their all so that we could have. I pray that God will hold and comfort you in your time of grief and loss. May you one day be able to look up and see Chris shining down on you through the Suns' glorious rays.

Dear Riviere Family,
Even though we have never met I feel as if we are a part of a "family". My daughter's fiancee was killed in Iraq by an IED Oct. 5, 2005. It is my prayer that you will feel God holding you close to His heart as He has held my family this past year. May you feel His comfort and peace as you travel down this difficult road.

To all that have taken the time to honor Pfc. Christopher T. Riviere, his family is very grateful.
Kiki will always live in our heart and in our soul. He was and is an extraordinary young man. He is our beloved hero who sacrificed all for his country. A proud Marine, a gentleman and a brave patriot.
Kiki was a wonderful brother to Jessie and Jamie Lee. An exemplary son to Margaret and James.
It has been an honor and a privilege to have been part of Kiki's life.
Kiki, we miss you more than words can say. We will honor you and love you always. Your courage and sacrifice was not in vain. Your selflessness has granted you a place in heaven although, too soon...but well deserved.
May you rest in peace our young warrior, for we will all be together again someday.
Proud and Loving family of,
Pfc. Christopher T. "Kiki" Riviere

Margaret, Jimmy, Jessica and Jamie:
The loss of son, brother, nephew, grandson, friend can never be compensated by any words that are said. I know our Creator's grace is the only thing that can get us through the pain.
A young patriot left this earth doing his duty for our country.We will consecrate that service at Arlington, the burial place of heroes. to paraphase the words of of Lincoln,
"... in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled in the war on terror, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. ... It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from the sacrifice of Christopher"Kiki" Riviere we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that his death shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
May we never forget.

To Christopher's family and friends-
My family and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We send our deepest empathy as we lost our Marine on 11/30/05 in Fallujah. We are comforted to know that our Marines are serving their country with such honor and bravery. We are so proud of our Marines and all of our other service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us safe and to give us the freedom we have that so many take for granted.
They are true Heroes and need to always be remembered for their selflessness and sacrifice to better our world. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. We are so sorry for your loss and hope our words will ease some of the pain, and maybe fill some of your emptiness.

To the Family of Pfc. Christopher T. Riviere:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.

My Deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Pfc. Christopher T. Riviere.
The price this young hero and his family have paid for this country and our freedom, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
There is so much thanks to be given, to these young heroes, for their Courage, Service and Dedication.
May Christopher rest safely in God's Loving Care and may God's Comfort and Grace be with the Riviere family.
I am the sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.
