I was saddened to hear of the quite untimely passing of Chris. I had known him for a short time, having met him just a few weeks ago during a karaoke night. But he impressed me as being the kind of person I would have liked to be a close friend with. He was a friendly, humble and intelligent man from my observations. And, not to be irreverant, he had a sort of super-cool look about himself! The hat, the glasses and the shape of his face just combined to give that impression. And make him an interesting guy in general.I really was hoping to see him again, but was shocked to see his picture at karaoke night with the "in memorium"words on it. My heartfelt sympathies to the family members Chris left behind! I wish I had the time with him to become a close friend.God bless and comfort at this difficult time!

My condolences to the Skiver Family. Chris spirit will long live on in my life. I met Chris some years ago when he met Julie and had the opportunity to spend some time with then over the years.
GOD bless us all.

I had Chris in class at Gahanna Lincoln High School. I always enjoyed his sense of humor and his sense of right and wrong. He was one of the first kids in class to help someone who might have been struggling. He always looked out for the underdog.
Sending prayers of comfort.
