I'll always associate Chris with Spring High School Tennis @ LHS. He was partners with Dan Murphy (doubles 1) and would have some epic matches against myself and Mark Leach. They would always find a way to beat us and keep us as the Doubles 2 team.

I am so very sorry to hear this. It has been almost since high school since I´ve talked to Chris, but this still hits hard. Chris was always nice and genuine, and we had fun playing tennis in Como Park together. Thoughts and prayers to Mr. and Mrs. Connelly, Sean, and the rest of the family.

Dear Connelly Family, so sorry to hear about this. Watching all the boys play ball back in the day was great fun for me. Chris was always a nice polite young man. GOD bless you all.
