I still cannot believe Chris has left us. It breaks my heart to know that I can't sit and talk with him again. We have lost such a young, bright, sweet, and funny man. Chris had the potential to do amazing and wonderful things with his young life. He was just getting started in what should have been a brilliant future. I remember such a beautiful baby; an adorable and feisty child, and a poised and articulate man; always full of wonder and something interesting to say about anything you wanted to talk about. I hope that his death will not be in vain and that good will come of this great tragedy. As always, love to our family as it reaches across the world for one big team hug, We love you Crissapher!

I never knew a young man that could make so many people happy as you. We miss our dinners that we had with you and your mom, dad, and Tim.
We love you, we will see you again,

I cannot express how thankful I am to have had Chris in my life as long as I did. I'll remember his goofiness and smile forever. I still can't believe he is gone, but I know he is still with us, and will be for the rest of our lives. David and Birgit, I appreciate all you have done in helping me grieve and Chris was so lucky to have you two and Tim. Love you guys and him very much.

Dear Christopher James,
das, was wir Dir sagen wollen, können wir am besten in unserer deutschen Muttersrpache ausdrücken. Uns fehlen die Worte, um zu beschreiben, was Du für uns bedeutest, was für einen unendlichen Verlust wir beklagen. Du warst ein so junger Mensch, ein Mensch auf der Suche, ein Mensch der sich und andere finden wollte, der erst ein Stück des Weges gegangen ist. Du hast andere durch deine Art in deinen Bann gezogen, hast polarisiert und fasziniert, warst herausfordernd, bist an Grenzen gegangen, um Grenzen zu finden, vielleicht auch um sie zu überschreiten. Dies vielfältig, so phantasievoll, so klug und auch jugendlich unbedarft, immer lebensbejahend, sowohl in dunklen als auch in strahenden Stunden hast Du Dich zurückgenommen, wenn andere deinen Rat, dein Einfühlungsvermögen und auch deine Kraft benötigten. Dann dachtest Du nicht an dich selbst. Wenn wir uns sahen, uns erlebten, hattest Du immer einen kleinen Schalk im Nacken, immer einen kleinen Scherz auf den Lippen, dazu deine dies unterstreichende Mimik und Gestik. Das sind für uns unvergessliche Momente. So wollen wir Dich in Erinnerung behalten. Du, Chris, beim Schreiben dieser letzten Worte, steigen uns die Tränen in die Augen, das Herz weint mit. Verzeih! Aber wer weiß, vielleicht zwinkerst Du uns zu, von irgendwo her, mit einem leisen Lächeln im Gesicht, den Schalk im Nacken...
Onkel Uwe, Tante Astrid und deine Cousine Julia
Liebe Birgit, lieber David, lieber Tim!
Wir hoffen, dass Ihr Trost finden könnt und Hoffnung, denn Chris ist ein guter Mensch, ein Mensch, der uns viel zu früh verlassen musste. Für uns bleibt er immer lebendig, wir behalten ihn als fröhlichen, zu Späßen aufgelegten Menschen in unserer Erinnerung. Das gibt uns Trost. Chris ist nur an einem anderen Ort, bei Gott...

Sweet Birgit, The Lord brings you, David and Tim to mind often and I pray. The Lord was so honored and Chris was so loved at the wonderful service. I pray that the memories from that day will be treasured and that God's love, peace and comfort will always be near. You're loved, Madeline
June 16, 2014
Birget, still thinking of and praying for you and your family. The service for Chris was so special and showed what he meant to so many! May the wonderful memories in your heart become more real each day as you thank the Lord for this special son! Love, Nora

My dear cousin Birgit, David, Tim and extended family. I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet son Chris.I only met him when we chatted on Skype, and the first time I saw Chris, I thought to myself, what a handsome young man. I wish, we could have met in person, but sadly it wasn't meant to be.I think we would have become friends.Sweet Chris, rest in peace. I know you will be flying with the Angels and having a ball. Praying the Lord will help you all to find the strength to overcome this, and find peace. Always in my thoughts and in my heart. Love, hugs and blessings,

The pictures are wonderful. What a lovely depiction of his life. Words cannot describe the sadness my heart feels for your loss. Chris was a beautiful, enigmatic, young man and will always be remembered.

. . . That delightful smile, your mischievous grin, the ties with t-shirts, your goofy hats, our front porch talks & kitchen chats, the slamming doors, running showers, snoring lumps bundled up on the floor (never could tell which was you and which was Max), your warm tight hugs (though I had to be really quick to get one!) are all the things I'll miss about you. These things will by my memories . . . but what I really miss is you little Chris. I'll be OK though, because I know I'll get those hugs again - you weren't supposed to go so soon - you weren't supposed to beat me there. But I'll get those hugs again. My dear Birgit, Dave, and Tim. My heart is broken for you all. God hold you tight and heal your hurt. With all my love, Tammi

Birgit,
A friend from Charlotte shared this with me. I am speechless and have no words to even express my deepest sorrow for your loss. It has been many years since I have seen you and remember Christopher as a little bundle of energy. No parent should have to bury a child and I grieve with you in this tremendous loss.

As much as Chris smiled, I hope he passed with a smile on his face. He was the light to the darkest path. My sincere condolences go out to Dave and Birgit, the most wonderful parents any child could have. Chris will remain in all of our hearts and will continue to receive endless love. Chris was a highlight to my life. From being my best friend and boyfriend for an amazing year, I will never forget the memories we have shared together. Those memories I will cherish forever.
Until we meet again, Chris. <3
