On December 27, 2005 I lost the first man I ever loved.He was the most amazing person I've ever known. Caring, generous and loyal. He could walk into a room and change the atmosphere with a look or a smile. I forgot how to breathe every time i saw him. He was only in my life for 5 short years but he changed my whole world. I am who I am today because of him. I only wish I could have been there when he needed me most.
I hope he knows just how much I loved him. He will always have a place in my heart. I will love him for the rest of my life.

Chris was a great friend. I met him while stationed at Travis AFB. He was there for me when times got tough. He saved my live once. He and I were room mates for a few years at travis. He always tried to make everyone else feel welcome no matter what. Dude you will be missed. Best wishes to his family. RIP Chris

It’s difficult to think of Chris being gone, from the moment I met him he struck me as a person that was larger then life, Chris was my friend and I served with him in the Air Force at Travis AFB, He was that person that was always there for you, not just for show, he genuinely was there for anyone that needed him in fact that’s what I remember about him the most, I’m not afraid to say that Chris was a great influence in my life the few brief years we were stationed at Travis, as I believe he was to everyone who was fortunate enough to know him, I last saw Chris in person at his families home near Phoenix, he let me rest there on my way home from Travis, another example of Chris being there for me, I talked about going to see him for a long time I regret not getting too. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I will Never Forget you Chris, I will Miss you.

I sit here and I cant even imagine Chris gone. We went to high school together and spent quit eof bit of time together. We both spent many long hours working in the theatre dept. He was very technical and I was was the organizer. He was one of my best friends and more . We went to dances together. We talked, partied a bit, watched as other friedns of ours got married. We were in speech together. I have a valentines picture of us from junior and senior yr that i have on my shelf along with a picture froma friends wedding. I just cant believe it. Chris was a great person and Im forever greatful for all he gave to me and to all he knew. We had so much fun. Whenever he was in town he always came by the house to see me or we would play email/phone tag. When my dad was sick Chris was there for me and always always always had a smile and hug for me and shoulder to cry on when things were tough. He had my back even when he didnt have to(or it was reallyneeded he was totally there).

I will Miss u Chris.

It's hard to speak of Chris in the past tense; he was one of my best friends. We worked side by side for the entire nine years of his Air Force career. He was a great guy to be around and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. You'll be greatly missed, buddy.

I have always known you as a great hearted person. Although through the years we have grown apart, I have always thought of you and your family. I will never forget the time we rolled in the mud and threw mud patties at Misty and Billy in the front yard. Those are classic memories that can NEVER be replaced. Thanks for all the good memories Chris! You will be missed!

My thoughts are with you and your family. Chris was an amazing man generous and selfless. I loved him. But there are few who didn't. That was his magic. He always talked of you. His family was everything to him. If you need anything let me know.

Dear Garry, Bill and Marge; my thoughts, prayers and blessings are with you as you strive to accept God's will... You must be very proud of this young man. Makes me remember a day soooo many years ago when I picked up a young returning Sailor in a Navy uniform from his mom's work...(Arizona Pre-Pak?) Grateful thanks to ALL our veterans for my freedom. My husband is a former combat Corpsman who still 'visits' Vietnam daily... God Bless You all, much love and tender hugs, Mitz
