Sharing the same first name and initials always with you always intrigued me. I often think about you and how much I've learned from you and the passion you lit under me to be more creative then what I thought I could be. I always let people know who you are and what you have done. I came across Wild Fire and I'm going to binge watch it again to study your genius. I learned so much as your student and wanted to work with you more. I will continue using the experiences and words you gave me to not only move forward in career, but life.

Sure do miss you Chris. So many times I actually want to call you, but you're not going to answer. I know you're at peace. And I know the Lord had a plan, but in my thoughts, you left way too soon.

I am so sad to hear that Chris has passed away.

It has been 30 years since we both left Chapel Hill to chase our dreams. We met at the barn in NC where I had kept my horse. We traveled all around NC to find riding stables, ventured into Raleigh in search of magic shops. He introduced me to film, viewing and enjoying movies from a different perspective.

I had so hoped to some day reconnect and catch up. I am happy to see here, by the entries of others, that he still loved to ride, and his passion for film never faded. Chris, I am profoundly sorry we never got to have that chat... yet. I have missed you, my friend.

Chris, we will miss your wry sense of humor and tales of your life adventures. You can now ride your favorite horses, and swim like a fish as in your golden youth! Spending time with your favorite people and beloved dogs in eternity.

You shared your talents and knowledge with many, and we thank you for that. Slainte'!

Mr. Teague was a great instructor. I enjoyed the time I was able to spend in his presence, as he pushed me beyond what I thought of myself. He broke down the heart of story telling that I still use to this day. Thank you Mr. Teague for your thoughts and witty compassion you poured into me to make me the story teller I am today.

You will be missed, Chris. I will miss our conversations, the encouragement, the advice...your friendship. You had a huge impact on the lives of many...especially those you taught to be better writers than they imagined they could be. They still talk about your toughness on them to take the craft of writing and the film world seriously. They loved that you didn't let up until they got it right, and they are better writers for it. You were loved by many. See you on the other side...

He will be missed definitely. Helped me craft my scripts into mostly filmable projects. Still use his outlines and notes to this day.

Professor Teague it was an honor to have met you and to have been taught by you. I was looking forward to working with you recently, but God had other plans for you. Thank you for believing in me and seeing the greatness in me. You will forever be remembered.
