Christopher Lynn Strenkert

Linda, this is Merrie, who lived across the street from you in Vernon. I was thinking about you all today, and typed Chriss name into Google. I am so very sorry for your loss. My mom, dad, and I were shocked when I found the obituary and read it. I remember Chris (and Ehren) fondly, and will always remember Chris and I trading our Wonder Woman/King Kong posters. My heart breaks for you, and his wife and kids.

Chris was my first born son and was a true gift from God. The 39 years he was here are changed by his presence with us. He excelled in what ever he choose to do in life. He had choices to make of total fame and fortune using his many talents, but in his real self wanted most to help others and his family. That was the important thing to him and he did accomplish that in his short life. Chris did not know how to ask for help when he needed it, only give it to all that asked. God had blessed...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

OUR THOUGHTS AN PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU>>>

I knew Chris very briefly, but as soon as I met him I could tell how sweet and warm he was. I felt comfortable right away with him. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had a place to live!! He talked briefly to me about his children and how much they meant to him. His face lit up when he talked of his 5 kids and I could tell right away that he was a loving father. My heart goes out to his wife and children. I am sure he is an angel in heaven keeping watch over them from this time forward....

I remember you as a young man, tall and strong and handsome. You loved the heavy metal music. I am sure that you will do your best to share your many talents with the angels, what a band that will be. Okay, you will be the lead singer! We will all hear the music and know that you are near and safe and most of all loved. God bless this family.

Chris was a kind and gentle man worked hard here at Briarwood. He was very helpful and polite. He will be remember and he will be missed.
So Sorry for you and your families loss.
