I've known Chris since grade school. We were in a rock band together in high school. It was the first band that each of us were in. Chris and I have always seemed to be of the same spirit. He has always occupied a place in my heart. We understood each other. And we both understood and took advantage of the power of music - often together. When things were great ... we'd "jam" together. And when things were terrible ... we'd "jam" together. There will always be a connection between us -- whether he is living in this world or not. I miss you, Chris.

Dearest Christopher, beloved family and friends,
I post today in great sadness in the event of this tragic anniversary. Although we didn’t met Christopher, it is only obvious the great impression that he left on this world, and our hearts. His memory and spirit will be with us always, as are our thoughts and prayers with you.
Our deepest sympathy and sorrow, always,
The Reynolds Family

Chris & I had known each other since we were about 5 years old, and while circumstances would lead us down different paths, our friendship never faded. Earlier this year Chris and I had a chance to talk and catch up. I enjoyed finding out that nothing in this world had diminished his intensity nor dampened his spirit.
Like everyone else I was shocked to learn of his passing. My heart sank as I realized that I had spoken to him for the last time. I miss his energy and his laughter.
I will keep Chris with me and share the memory of him with friends and family throughout my life.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I haven't seen him since I was about 14 years old. I had a dream the other night about him when we were growing up together and decided to look him up on the internet and found his obituary. We grew up in the same neighborhood. He will be missed. Prayers to his family during this difficult time.

Christopher was always the sweetest, kindest little fella in the neighborhood. I haven't seen him in many years. I hope he was able to fill his life with happiness and love. My condolences and prayers for Christopher's family.

I will always remember Christopher as the little boy down the street, best friend of my brother Todd. Sorry I didn't get to see him again since moving back here.
