I met Chris in Price Utah.Chris caught up with me in SLC. He had stomach cancer at the time and I did not know if he was going to make it. He always came by. I think we loved each other. I was working at the Black Bull private club in SLC. And who walks in? Chris. After that he would follow me after my shift in his MONTE Carlo. He would enjoy our apartment and was always a good friend.

I met Chris in price utah. Both single. He had his camaro. But he would scare me by driving into remote areas. it was just his way. I moved to salt lake city. And low and behold i ran into Chris at a house party. He was in a wheel chair. I sat and talked to him the whole night. He said he had stomach cancer. I was devastated. Then he seemed to turn around. He visited me and we had a great relationship. Then I moved to California and we lost contact. We were friends first. Chris was a gentle giant. Always remember him.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Chris. We shared many great memories together growing up in Roy and then as we both went to college, got married and had kids. I regret not being able to attend his service as I had hoped but I will never forget Him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, Kathy, Hollie, Tyler, Mike, Myron, Byron, Judy and Jody. May God provide you all with comfort at this time loss....Sincerely, Stan Rucker
