Christopher H. Atkins

Chris became one of our most cherished friends while attending Georgia Southern College. We will always remember his positive attitude and ability to make others smile and laugh. He had a kind soul and a unique ability to make others feel at ease. Our fun together while playing ball, hanging out at school and riding at the farm will always be cherished. He was a blessing to the Aaron family.
We are truly saddened by this loss.

We met Chris when we were at Georgia Southern, and we will always treasure that friendship. He was so kind and caring, and you definitely couldn't forget his smile. Chris shared his love of horses with us by giving us horseback rides in the country.
We are terribly saddened to hear about his passing. He will always be remembered as a true southern gentleman and good friend.
We are so sorry for your loss.

Atkins family--

Keeping you in our thoughts. We here will always cherish your friendship.

My prayers are with both of Chris' families as you go through this difficult time. Chris' genuine good natured kindness has been evident ever since the first time we met in the second grade. That trait has served him so well in his work with horses, and it has endeared him to his friends, old and new. I will miss running into him when home for the holidays, and I will miss seeing him compete and enjoying his successes at the Futurity. I cannot think of a kinder, gentler, more genuine...

My families thoughts and prayers are with you as you endure this difficult time.

Dear Katherine, Scott and Tony,

Chris was a sensitive old soul, (an attribute that connected us from the beginning), full of life and passion and a love for all creatures great and small. It was a rare moment when he didn't have a smile on his face, and I have fond memories of many a laugh at my folks' house on Wheeler Rd in the younger days, with T-Royd, Wally Burger and the gang. I remember looking on with great admiration during the Augusta Futuritys, and it was as obvious as the...

Dear Tony and Family,
I was so sad to hear about Chris' passing. I remember when my son Dalton was about 2 or 3 and we all went to the beach. Dalton would not walk on the sand (he did not like being dirty!!!). The only person that he would let carry him around the beach was Chris. He still remembers Chris to this day, Dalton is now 17. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. He will be remembered fondly.

Tony and Family,

My heart goes out to you. Chris was one of the finest young men I have ever met. He and Angie (Self) were such good friends. I still have the picture of he and Angie that was taken when they went to their Junior Prom together. I can still remember his wonderful smile and his tenderness the last time I saw him at the 2001 Augusta Futurity. My prayers and thoughts are with you. May our Lord Jesus bring you comfort and peace.

The Atkins and McCully families,

As a friend of the Cunningham family, I can only say that I share fond memories of Chris in the cutting pen, as a family man, and a friend. My heart goes out to you, and I pray for God's healing.

Sincerest condolences.
