Chris Doran

So sorry to learn of Chris´ passing.. I was a childhood friend of Dan (my teacher), through the OK Community/phx. I was introduced to the whole Doran family in Phoenix. I have found memories of fishing with Bud & Dan. In fact, Dan taught me to fish. That´s where I met Chris, Chris made me feel like a little brother & we shared Spanish at times. Great memories. Dan nicknamed me "tonybear." T

Chris,
You arived in my life 2 years ago at CCNS. You touched every childs heart in our classroom and mine. Your jokes!! The jokes you played on me and the other staff will be remembered. Your love and understanding that you brought to our students. You opened their hearts and minds with your music. Especially, your drums. I love you my friend and will keep you close to my heart. Jatuee!!!! as you also said to the students at the end of the day. Love you my friend..

Chris, My Friend, You will always be remembered by my family and friends. Well Amigo, I hope you are at rest and peace high in the heavens. Ryan and I will especially miss you along with Grandma Nancy and Vicki. Ryan shared his best times with you when you taught at CCNS. It was you that inspired me to take more of a lead at the school and join the Board of Directors along with keeping a positive attitude with Ryan. He is not the easiest child to handle at times, but you hung in there with...

Chris was my son Jacob's teacher for several years at CNS. Jacob loved going to school everyday and loved being with Chris. He was a great teacher...he always paid special attention to what was going on with my son and would contact me when problems arose. During special events that i was able to attend, Chris and Jacob were always together and having a great time. He treated Jacob with great respect and dignity ....like he was a normal kid and he wasn't gonna get away with any trouble while...

Chris left an everlasting impression on me even though the time I had to spend with him in this world was limited. I pray that GOD comforts his wife and family and strengthens them all during this time of reflection.

Chris,
What joy and love you brought to our lives and to the lives of so many others. We are so fortunate to have been touched by you and to have had some very special memories and times with you. Zane's love for you will live on with your memories. You were so kind to him and taught him so much. You brightened his day every day you were a part of it and you made all of us feel so incredibly special, as if we were the only ones in your world. You beat to your own drum, literally and...

Uncle, Brother in Spirit, Friend..... I hope you are making good use of the Jacks I sent with you. So many good times, shared in the hills or across the card table. Tell the gang I'm comin'!!! As usual, I'll probably be late (I hope). Then the Three Amigos will ride again!! Love and Miss you Chris. Your Nephew, Kev.

You will be greatly missed. Your contribution for many children and families are countless. You also inspired me to continue the work I do as a music therapist. Your devotion and dedication toward all of your "kids" (students) is the greatest legacy you leave behind in my eyes.
