William Christopher Sharp

Chris was like a brother to me and he will be sorley missed by me and my family. Chris was one of a kind and his memories will live on through us forever. From the play grounds in Pleasanton 29 years ago, to San Diego, Chris always set the pace. I can never replace a friend like Chris, I can only continue to share his excitiment for life and the memories that made knowing Chris so very special.

There wasn't a single time that Chris Sharp didn't have a smile or a hug for me,(even when he was giving me a bad time about something or other.) I never saw Chris after college, but I remember him like we were there today. I feel very lucky right now to have been his friend. Those of you who knew Chris beyond our wonderful Chico days should feel lucky. We will all remember him forever.

I met Chris at a networking function and what I remember is his energy and zest for life. I will miss him.

I met him only once but have spoken about him many times to many people. My best wishes go to you April.

We met when Chris and April were stuck in a chopper with us, heliskiing in NZ whilst on their honeymoon. That day was one of the greatest of my life and wouldn't have been so without Chris. We have always kept in contact and I visited them in San Diego and was touched by their hospitality. I never saw him without a smile or at least a grin and will always remember his enthusiasm and friendship. My thoughts are with April, the family and all of his friends. I will miss him dearly but always...

Chris was a good friend of mine throughout our years at Chico. We met in a freshman art lab class and instantly became friends. He was pledging Theta Chi at the time, so I "helped" him with many projects as he was very busy with pledging. We then were neighbors our second year and spent alot of time hanging out, he was constanly calling for help with how to make whatever he wanted for dinner, I remember clearly being called to his apartment to help with a pot of boiling over hamburger helper...

A large group of Bill and Connie Sharp friends -- Chris's parents -- had a memorial service in Grass Valley, CA simulaneously with the one in San Diego. As we watched a spectacular sunset it was obvious that God was smiling that evening. Although I did not know Chris, I know he was loved deeply by his parents and they are loved deeply by many here in Grass Valley. It sounds like Chris "lived" his life to the fullest, making every moment count...I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around...

Are family were neighbors with the sharp family for many years in Pleaanton. I cant believe this has happened to them. We pray for you strengh and guidence to get you through this tradgedy. I know he will be loved and missed by many. Till you meet again..you are in our prayers

My thoughts and prayers are with April and the family. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris on a few occasions in San Diego and here in Scotland. He was a great guy, and I was deeply saddened to hear the news of his passing.
