Not sure what to say?

To Chris, my beloved husband, hunting @ fishing partner and best friend in the whole world. I miss you so much. There are no words out there to describe the emptiness in my heart and life now that you are gone. Hopefully with time and the love of our kids and all our friends it will become easier for us all.

Everyone always has that same question.Why did it have to happen like this? No one ever knows, and we will never know. There must be a plan in store for you. Knowing you, it...

I would like to thank everyone for their help and support through this troubling time. I know that it would be impossible without friends and family like you.

Thanks again, and remember to cherish the one’s that you are with, if you don’t it may be too late and they will be gone.

Cornejo Family,
I was saddened to hear of Chris's passing. I have many fond memories of growing up with Kristi and spent a lot of time with the family. He always made me feel at home and didn't mind having a houseful of teenage girls, he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Patty and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Chris fought a hard fight for a long time. We are all better for knowing him My prayers are with all of you, Bryce Hall Crawinkel, Germany

To the Cornejo family my condolences. Although I've been away from Elko for over 35 years I'll never forget the way your family took me into their fold. I remember Chris as a little kid but I'm glad to see he grew into a wonderful man, husband, and father.

There is so much that can be said about my Dad, He was a very loyal, trusting man that would be at your side at the drop of a hat if you needed him. He enjoyed teaching or passing anything on that he could, it could have been anything from the first piece of leather work to repairing a busted sprinkler line. As many of his friends know you could always count on him. Through out the years my father has had the opportunity to meet and gather many friendships. These friendships were family to...

Chris was a true friend and an inspiration to many of us. I went to high school with Chris and our friendship continued throughout the years. When my husband and I moved to Nevada in 1991, Chris proudly introduced his family to us.His family was his everything and they were his driving force. Kristine and Jered, he beamed as he spoke of you-he was so very proud of you. He will live on through each of you-remember what he has taught you. We got to catch up on old times and relive great...

Patty, Kristy, and Jerod,

I was very saddened and shocked to hear of the news of Chris' passing. He was always playing jokes and always had a good story to tell and he was well liked by everyone who met him. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Take Care.
