Not sure what to say?

So sorry to learn of Chris's leaving you all. I can't imagine the grief you bear. Know you're being prayed for.

In praying for your precious family, I am reminded of 2 Timothy 4:7 , "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith." What a beautiful legacy Chris leaves. And to think that he is with Jesus. Let us do likewise and finish strong. For soon, we too will see Jesus.

Chris is a great guy. He will be missed. I loved seeing all his posts and updates on Facebook. Our prayers are with you all.

Arlene and I are deeply saddened to hear about Chris' passing! He was such a vibrant individual and loved the Lord. We so loved him in his role of service leader. He was powerful! May time heal but you will always have him in your hearts (as will we).

Mourning with you in your loss, yet rejoicing with you in Chris's gain. This is the goal he prepared so diligently for. Prayers for all

Please accept my condolences and deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved son! My prayers and thoughts are with you during your time of sorrow. I know it's difficult to see beyond the sorrow. May all the good memories of Christopher help comfort you tomorrow. Hold tight to those memories for comfort, lean to your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about. God bless your family!

Carl, so saddened for your family on your sons death. Prayers and Hugs for your family.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Chris was a great guy and I really enjoyed working with him on the HCS school board. He was always enthusiastic and focused on doing what was right for the school and the community. Our prayers continue for you and your family.
