Chris was a childhood friend starting at Our Lady of Guadalupe through Garces High School. He and his family were awesome!

Chris' passing broke our hearts, especially since we just found out that he passed away on July 26. We worked together here in San Diego. Chris experienced severe pain in his knees and could barely walk. But in February, we didn't hear anything from you after your employee sent him home for paid rest. We called him to say hello but we couldn't contact him. The happiest thing in Chris's life was when we went to the Casino and he hit the jackpot worth $6700. Rest In Peace Chris! We miss you here at Presidio Components! Unable to retire in the Philippines which is your dream.

I am Crushed, Chris and I became good friends while working together at K-Mart in Bakersfield while in our late teens. We remained good friends from then on talking on the phone several times a year but hadn't seen each other for over 10 years. Chris had a heart of gold and a infectious laugh. He will truly be missed. I love you buddy. See you on the other side brother.
