Not sure what to say?

I just received (3/24/20) an email reminder to remember Christopher Butterworth. I didn't need it, I will always remember Chris - I forget a lot but, I won't forget him - it's just so and I'm glad.

I was friends with Chris when we both attended Atlantic Christian College in Wilson, NC. I am very saddened to learn of Chris passing. We had some good times and laughs back in the day.

A very special light has gone dim on this earthly realm, a light of radiance and authenticity that was the boy and the man, Chris Butterworth. Chris possessed a childlike enthusiasm for whatever was at hand that he gave heart and bone deep effort to in commitment, sportsmanship, and all else. Never did I witness less than kindness and sincere interest in his treatment of others. Now that God has called this special child home, I know that Chris is better off than my human limitations can...

Gone way to soon, my heart ❤ goes out to the sons & brothers, May you grow closer than ever imagined. Just a class mate. Sue Williams Daul.

Your brother was a huge influence on you, Craig. That's been made obvious to all of us. I'm certain his spirit and your precious memory of him will remain in your heart and be a continuing source of strength as long as you live.

Miss you My friend!

Though I did not know Chris personally our friendship grew on facebook. He always presented kindness to me in every posting. We shared the love of nature and animals. I miss you, Chris. May you and your lovely bride rest in peace.
