Chris and I met in 1997 through a common friend. We were all young, and working in Mannheim, Germany. Chris was always willing to help, and he utterly loved a good laugh. He shared his love of racing and driving (and we laughed non-stop about how horrible I was at both).
Even though time moved us apart, you’ll always be one of my Mannheim brothers. Rest at the wheel Chris.
To Chris’ Family and cherished love ones, please accept my deepest condolences. I am so, so sorry...

One of the best Uncles ever. Being with your nephew for 10 years and counting you took me under your wing like your own! Always loved us all! One person we could go to for advice or just to talk. We will miss you so much! Until we meet again Uncle Kris! Fly High and watch over us all! ❤
