Not sure what to say?

You are remember, my friend, on many days, not just this one.

Just this morning, I mentioned to Jacquita Chris' upcoming birthday, that I miss my friend, and how much pleasure (and relief) he would have taken from Joe Biden's victory and his turn of fortune over the past month. Becoming Chris' friend, and meeting him as a STE brother, was a highlight of the last decade here in Austin.

We went to Law School together. He was a great guy. Sad for his families loss.

I was blessed to join him on his journey, he was an a amazing man with an abundance of love for his family. Every visit, phone call, email, or text he was positive. He will forever remain a light in my experience as an Oncology nurse.

I had the privilege of working with Chris for several years at GDHM and being one of his law partners. (and fellow Baylor Law Alum) He was a smart, funny, and caring person who contributed so much to the community and to good causes. My deepest sympathies to Tish and the kids and the rest of the family and to Chris' other family at GDHM.

As fine and good a person as i have ever known.

Chris was such a fine lawyer and strong soul who was talented in bringing people together to create solutions. He made Baylor proud. I loved that he was so close to his Dad. His death is a tremendous loss for Tish, his family and our entire community. Blessings upon you for laying his ashes under the stars of West Texas--that comforts me somehow. There is no question that Chris and RBG will be getting along, sharing stories, watching that 'big wonderful thing' we call Texas.
