I grew up with Chris in Tidemill Farms were he was one of my best friends. We did everything together for years (baseball, Scouts, neighborhood ball games etc...) His mom would always stop by when she was out doing her walking and visit. Wonderful smart lady who just found out has also passed. I lost touch with Chris when his half of the neighborhood went to a different highschool and then I went off into the army. He was always a wonderful, positive, funny guy that could run really fast. Sorry we lost touch brother and I'll be looking for you when I get to heaven! -Steve (PS)-Hey Tammy!

Chris and I spent a lot of our childhood together. I lost touch with him when went off to separate high schools and then I went off into the Army. I'd heard he was doing well and I'd look him up online every now and then to see if there was any news of him. That's how I heard the sad news of him passing. I'll have to share this with my mom and brother tomorrow and check in with the two people I still have contact with from Tidemill Farms (Troy and Stephen)to see if they are aware. I have some pictures from the old days somewhere that I'll look for. Chris still looked the same except a bit thinner (like all of us). I'm sorry we lost touch and pray that I see my old friend again in Heaven. God bless those he left behind -Steve
