Chris Welch was one of the best friends that I had in my 27 years of living in North Carolina. He was a loyal companion in all of our endeavors. I am missing him greatly, Rest in Peace Brother.

Thank you, my friend, for all those times we sat out on your deck, looking over the water, talking about life and spinning up business ideas. Those conversations always had a way of blending laughter, honesty, and big thinking, things I’ll always carry with me.
You had a gift for making people feel welcome, for turning a simple spot on the deck into a place where everyone belonged. I deeply appreciate everything you did and the way you always opened up space for others.
