Christopher David Allen Kube Obituary

Happy to see SPC Kube honored by the Detroit Lions & the NFL during the NFL Draft tonight (4/25/24).

Miss you brother

8 long years ago... It seems like a long time, but feels like yesterday.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and to also let the Kube Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

As time passes, there is still a hole in our hearts, an empty spot at our dinner table and a smile missing from everyday. We miss you as much today as the day you left us. Ride the sky Chris!

We won't forget Christopher

I just found out yesterday about Christopher from someone that was in his unit. Christopher was also in our sons unit and Christopher followed our son, Sgt Eric Lill, into heaven to stand at the pearly gates.
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your Hero.

To the family and friends of Spc. Christopher David Allen Kube:
Please accept my remembrance of Christopher on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

SPC Kube was a fine and brave soldier. He was always on the convoy that supported my Civil Affairs Team that operated in Karadah. I remember greeting him at the Mess Hall a day before the fatal incident. Your heroism will not be forgotten.

RIP Chris.

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.

Christopher,
Thinking and praying for you on the 1st anniversary of your passing into eternal glory. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends", John 15:13.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Spc Kube!

I love you man you were my friend the whole time in basic and ait i even named my son after you i miss you so much

i am trule sorrey

I was surprised to read in the newspaper that Spc Christopher Kube was taken from us. My son, Tim Murray, was in the MYCA with him. For some of us, we felt like MYCA was our last hope. I want to thank you for Spc Kube serving our country and protecting our freedom. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Kandy

To the parents of Christopher, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Pfc Kube and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

Father we entrust our brother Christopher to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Christopher in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

My heart and my sincerest prayers go out to you, the friends and family of SPC. Kube. Reading his story on CNN reminded me so very much of my cousin, LCP Victor Gonzalez, who was killed in Fallujah in October 2004. He did not make it through a full 30 days in Iraq, but he will always live in our hearts and memories and bring a smile to our face as we recall his sense of humor and the patriotism he felt. Victor lived and breathed GI Joe when he was a kid. Although in their age, your Christopher and our Victor were kids, they are heroes that make us proud. I wish I could say that time heals all things, but some wounds of the heart will not heal until we are all reunited in heaven. Once again, my prayers are with you. May you feel comfort in knowing that there are many people that know EXACTLY how you feel.

Pfc. Christopher D. Kube
you are my hero
may god keep you in his arms forever.

To the family and friends of CHRISTOPER KUBE, well we at FOB Loyalty called him SCOOBY..anyway it was a privlidge to serve with him, he was a great soldier, im sure a great son, and husband, he is GONE, but he will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, my deepest condolences to the family and friends.

My heart goes out to your family at this difficult time. I thank you for your son's courage and heroism, he has a special place in in heaven with my brother.

Respectfully,
Sister of Fallen Soldier Joe Miracle

My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Christopher you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

God bless the family and friends of Christopher.

(In remembrance of Cpl. JOey Cantrell 4-4-07)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

You are an American hero who will not be forgotten for your sacrifice.
RIP

Krista and Cube family
My heart goes out to you and your family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your son who was a hero. I will be praying for you.I have no children in the war but I am a mother and a US citizen. God bless.

To the Kube family:
I would like to offer our sincere condolences. We also lost a brave soul, Allen Greka of Alpena, my only nephew and my sister's only child. There is nothing that can be said to erase the nightmare I know you are living. We will pray for you and your son.

Kube family,
I wasnt in the same unit as PFC Kube, I was in the same bay in basic with him.
I dont really know what to say, he was a good guy and I got to see him turn from a kid into a soldier anyone could be proud of.

I did not know him well, but lousing him has effected me deeply.

Hold tight to your treasured memories and may his beautiful smile continue to shine on. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Christopher made the ultimate sacrifice and for that I extend my deepest gratitude. He is a Hero and in our home he and all those who have given their lives will never be forgotten. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Proud Sister of a US Soldier-
KIA Iraq, April 2005

You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss.

Our fallen hero, Pfc. Christopher D. Kube, will never be forgotten and I thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice to our country.

My deepest thoughts and prayers for the Kube family in this great time of sorrow and need.

from a mother-in-law of one serving in Baghdad and a PROUD Soldiers’Angel.

Dear Kube Family,

I did not know Christopher but the fact that he gave his life to protect my freedom and that of every American, he is a Hero in my eyes. I just spent last week with the family of another Michigan soldier lost in action and saw what they went through. You have my deepest sympathy. May God be with you as you go through this time of grief. Be strong.

Deepest condolences and thank you for your service, Christopher. Godspeed.

What he did was never worthless.
What he died for wasn’t sham.
How he fought was like a lion
How he smiled was like a lamb.

Who he was to friend and family,
Why his heart was loved by each,
How his voice and face were cherished,
Words and poetry can’t reach.

Honor, courage, strength, and valor,
In a short and full lifespan.
These belie his traits of boyhood.
Private Kube was a man.

In gratitude to a fallen hero.

Although I do not know Pfc. Kube personally, I read how he was a hero and a genuine person on CNN. I thank him for his will to better our country, and his braveness. He is definetly a man. My thought and prayers are with your family. God will take care of him, I'm sure of it.
From Texas

To the Kube family, please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss of Christopher. What a wonderful young MAN he sounds like. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around you and help you to find some peace in these difficult days to come. Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers and your sacrifice and his will never be forgotten.

To the family and friends of Pfc. Kube, I can only offer my deepest condolances and prayers. We owe a debt to your Hero that we can never repay.

My son also serves and is currently in Iraq. I stand in awe of the courage and bravery that our military serve. Your soldier is counted among the very best of men. While we who did not personally know Christopher cannot know or feel your loss, I hope that there is some comfort in the days ahead thay many of us realize our own duty to honor and remember his sacrifice. I pray that in the days ahead your memories will bring comfort and peace. A grateful citizen thanks you, and salutes your fallen warrior.

I don't have sons, but if I had one, I can only hope he would be like your precious Christopher. God bless you at this time of loss. Surely, mercy and goodness will fill your days to come. We will not forget your wonderful, child, brother and soldier.
Thank you for your gift to all Americans. You can be proud of this fine young man!

To The Family of Chris:
I have known Chris and your family for 4 years. He came and visited me at school when he was on leave and was so proud to be wearing his uniform. He has grown up to be such a wonderful man and solider that anyone could be proud of. When he left that day I gave him a big hug and told him how proud I was of him and to be safe. Chris had a mission here on earth and he did it well. We will never know why he had to leave us but I am sure Chris is in a better place. To his family, I know this is hard, but Chris would want us to keep our heads up high and go on...just remember him..all the happy times you had with him. He will always be in our hearts. God Bless Our Hero.

Thank you for you service. I read your story online and you are an inspiration to all MEN. No, you were not a boy, you were a soldier.
God Bless

Dear Dave, Krista and Family,

I am so sorry you have lost your loving son and brother. My heart goes out to you. I did not know Christopher but I have read many articles recently on the internet about Christopher. They told me a story about a wonderful young man who was very much liked and respected by all in Iraq who served next to him. For this I know you must be proud. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

My sincerest sympathy.

To the Loving Wife Of Pfc Christopher D. Kube and his Family. My deepest sympathy goes out to you at this time. Although I did not know him, the one thing I do know is he was a special, selfless young man. He gave his life for something he believed in.. Believe me and all the people that knew and loved him the most he will never be forgotten. God Bless you and keep you all close in his arms to help you through this very difficult time.. if you should need anything please don't hesitate to ask..

Dear Kube family,

In Chris' all too short life, he grew into a remarkable young man and soldier to be proud of. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Please know that you have friends that are here for you. Godspeed Pfc Christopher D. Kube. Sincerely, Deb

I am truly and sincerely sorry for your loss-
Thank you for supporting Christopher while he served our country. He will not be forgotten

Dave, Krista and Kube Family,

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Please know that you have friends and family that you can count on for support. As I told Krista, if you need anything, call or email me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Christopher's death. I was Chistopher's religious education teacher for a few years. My heart and prayers go out to His family and for him to Rest in Peace. I would like to share somthing I remember real well about Christopher. I remember him as a leader, always willing to help, Well prepared, Always willing to learn. he was a very kind person, got along well with every-one. His leadership skills do not suprise me on how much he has acomplished in such a short time. Our very last class I asked everyone, Tell me one thing you have learned this year? Christopher's response was ( Too have great Faith!). We truly have lost a wonderful person in this world. God Bless you Christopher! M. Merrill

Pfc. Chris Kube and Family:


Know in your heart that you are a true hero and will never be forgotten. All gave some, some gave all. Rest in peace. You will be missed by everyone’s life you have touched.

To the family, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family, friends, and all Americans for the sacrifice of one of your family members for our freedom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.

Chris you will be missed. You were a good lil cousin. You were a good kid growing up. The last time I saw you before you went into the military was when I took you to the skate park. You had fun and laughing. I'll never forget that. R.I.P. I love you

To the family and friends of another Fallen Hero> I am deeply sorry for your loss. There are no words to take away the pain you are feeling right now, but know that others are feeling that same pain with you. May God be with you throught these hard times. R.I.P. Pfc Christopher D. Kube. We will never forget you. Sincerely Connie

Words are hard to come by at this difficult time but please know we are here to listen and help get you through this trying time. Love you, Paul and Robyn

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous 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, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and 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 as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever 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 your 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 soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

Pam and Bill Adams, Lancaster, PA

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

There are no words that I can say to ease your pain. May you find comfort in your memories of him and your friends and family. They feel so helpless right now. Let them help you, whatever it may be. If they want to help with yard work or bring food. That is the only way they know how sometimes. Your son has done this country a great service and he will always be a hero to the American people. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I pray there is a better place for him. His job is not finished yet.
Sincerely,
Sister of CPL. Casey P. Zylman (KIA May 25, 2007)
