My husband ... Christopher
What a character.
His spirit was filled with love and joy. You couldn't miss it. It just sparkled in his eyes and smile. Everyone remembers his whole hearted laugh.
It was that genuine type of love and caring you don't find very often.
He truly wanted his family, friends and the people he met to do well and was always willing to help.
You couldn't help but feel uplifted after spending time around Chris' supportive and optimistic personality.
His personality could make the impossible possible.
..He helped an internet startup in the 90's with no office, no phone, no employees go from a dream two guys had to a successful business
.. He turned a boating business started with a lemonade stand in the park doing $25 specials to a successful brand.
He made it look easy.
His personality allowed him to willingly modify his life plans to help his parents and my mother live on their terms with dignity in their older years.
Once again he made it look easy.
This gift came with a price. The negative side was feeling everything so deeply. Criticism, Disbelief, Jealousy, Betrayal ... take a tougher toll on your body.
This is why the Duchess was so special to us. I'm glad we had 12 seasons with happy customers and positive reviews to dull some of the negatives we had to endure on this earth.
Chris always told me the happy customers were due to the magic of the Duchess. I knew the true magic was Chris!
We loved ... We laughed ... We fought ... We talked ... We believed ..
We held onto each other every night to gather strength to fight the next day.
Chris' integrity and faith was tested many times on this earth. I was always amazed at how much he could endure. He passed the test every time.
I don't know what I will do without him but I am so proud and lucky to have shared his turbulent life and call myself Mrs. Christopher John Preston.
I love you sweetheart.

I am so very sorry for your loss, Cheryl. My husband John and Chris spent quite a bit of time talking on the phone these past few years or so. His friendship will surely be missed. Keep all of your fond memories close to your heart and will remain with you forever ❤

My heart broke when i read that Chris had passed away. He was such a wonderful man and my family loved him like a son and brother. So many wonderful memories of how he just walked into our home with Dan and brought his instant sunshine to all of us Wrights. Laughter was always shared whenever Chris was among us.
