Christopher Fleshner

Amy - Sorry to hear of your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you and the Fleshner family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to here about Flesh passing. I remember the first time I met Flesh, I was at my brothers and I was walking up to the house and there Flesh was smiling and laughing. Everytime I saw him after that he was doing the same thing....smiling. He was a great man and will be missed dearly. My heart goes out to Amy and Flesh family. Laura Miller

Chris was a great friend of our family from when we spent our college days at U of I and beyond. Riding motorcycles was always an adventure with Chris. He was always living life to the fullest and was an inspiration. Our prayers go out to Chris, Amy and all their loved ones.

I'm so sorry Amy, Nancy, James and Clarissa. Chris had such a huge heart and even though he wasn't on this Earth long enough for us, the love and friendship he showed me and everyone he ever met will last forever. I feel blessed to have known him and will never forget him. I will continue to keep you in my prayers as the days, weeks, months and years go by.

I knew Chris from the time he went to Arcola schools, we were in the same class. He was the nicest person. He always was in a cheerful mood. I am truly saddened by his loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Everytime I saw Chris, he had a smile on his face. We will always have great memories of boating with him at Clinton Lake.

To the Family of Chris..
I know you don't know me, but I met Chris at Carle one day as I was there for a blood treatment at the same time he was there for chemo. We talked and got to know each other a bit, as I lived a small town over from him. He was in such good spirits and how he was dealing with his illness. He showed me pictures of his bikes and was so proud. In a few hours he touch my heart and I often thought about him and I am sad to said we never got to cross paths again. I...

We are deeply saddened about Chris' passing at such a young age--he certainly enjoyed life, especially his motorcycles! Amy--you two deserved so much more time together; it's very heartbreaking. Chris was always very kind to everyone and we enjoyed watching him play with our kids during the holidays. He put up a tough fight and remains an inspiration to us. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

I have a lot of happy memories from my teaching and coaching days in Arcola. Chris is part of many of those happy memories. He was able to make me giggle when I was struggling to remain straight faced. He demonstrated a sincere desire to learn and a determination to do his best. He was kind and respectful of kids and adults alike. We recently shared some of our cancer "stories" with each other, and as I walked away I felt that same "Chris initiated" smile come over my face.
