Kristopher Patrick Kemp

It has been over 10 yrs since I have seen Kris, nor spoke his name. Until this week. I have cried for him...i have prayed, I have remembered what a lasting impression such a human being can leave on one's soul. We all used to party like life was forever...never imagining God had other plans...and would take one of the best! Kris was exceptional...in everything he did. I have not seen him in many years, but some peope...some very, very good people leave a handprint that you never even realized...

Dear, Marcia, John, Erin, and Lisa,

Although many years have past since knowing your family in Naperville and sharing all of the ups and downs of raising teenagers ....we never forgot your family and upon hearing about Kris' illness...many prayers and prayer requests were made on his (and your family's) behalf. We will continue to pray for comfort, peace, and God's love. We are so very sorry for your loss.

Kemper - From high school parties to gigs in the city, Kris was an awesome man. May you be at peace now Kris, you'll be missed but never forgotten. Condolences to family and friends.

Kris is one of the most kind, sincere and loving people I have ever met. I met him about two years ago through the Chicago music scene. His smile lit up any room that he walked in to and he gave the best hugs in the world. I will cherish all the memories that I have of my time spent with Kris and though I am sad that he is no longer with us, I feel better knowing that heaven just got one hell of an angel.

I met Kris when I moved to Naperville halfway through high school. We were good friends and I regret losing touch. He was a hell of a guy through and through. We lost a good one this week. My sincerest condolences to family and friends.

I knew kris as kristov through the music scene & mutual friends. he was one of the sweetest, most kind hearted people i've ever met. he was also an unbelievably gifted musicians. he will be deeply missed by so many people. "I wonder if the thunder storms will sound different now with such a gifted precussionist up there to help out."

I'll never forget the first time I met Kris a number of years ago when he attended the chemo class I was teaching. It didn't seem right having the "cool dude with the dreds" sitting in front of me discussing hair loss. I liked to tease him, and always asked him when the band was going to put together a Christmas album, or write some songs that I could sing along with. I always looked forward to seeing Kris at the cancer center along with a family member, Lisa, or TJ. He was a good person...

I went to school with Kris. Years had gone by unitl I saw him again. When I did I was so happy but at the same time sad because he was so sick. I'll miss your smile and talking to you. I hope you are in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and Lisa. Lisa, you were so good to Kris. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Kristopher was our neighbor in Naperville. I'm Marianne, and my children were Danielle, Amy, and April, Jimmy and Phillip. April always played with Erin. We all feel so bad, I'm so sorry. Marcia and I were also friends, I'm thinking of all of you in this time of great sadness. Kris is in heaven and at piece, our prayers are with all of you
