Dear Liz,
We were shocked and deeply saddened upon hearing today of Christopher's passing.
We were fortunate to have met Chris at your home in Arizona- What a pleasant young man.
Liz, May the Lord give you strength as you deal with today's situation as well as the life changing events of the past few months as you relocate to Illinois.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
We love you.
Mel and Carolyn Camelon

I can't find the words to say how much Chris meant to so many people. He was such a caring person, and would give you the shirt of his back without thinking twice. Even though I haven't seen him in a few years, I know what a proud father he was, and when he was with Jake and Ally his face was always lit up. My deepest sympathies go out to the family and especially to his two beautiful children, Jake and Ally.
You are all in my prayers.

Liz and family
I was so saddened by the news of Chris. He certainly gave Gary and Glen so many memories at Meadow School and Cub Scouts and as a friend growing up. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Dear Liz and family,
I remember all the Chavez family,and our children becoming young women and men as they passed their years through Meadowood, Hubbard Trail, and CMHS.
I can still see Chris as the cute guy with the gorgeous eyes and big smile. He seemed to make so many friends that I'm sure his presence will be missed by many.
My sincere sympathy--to lose one so young only adds more pain to your loss. May fond memories and loving friends and family help you during this difficult time.
You are all added to my prayers.

I'll never forget Chris and Gina's wedding. The only reception I ever attended where the groom passed out cigars to the guests. Everyone had such a wonderful time. It was a real symphony of love with Chris conducting.

I was shocked to hear the news last night,
How sad I feel today-
Chico could make anybody feel important. As long as I knew him, he was always congenial, fun, respectful and caring. He was a GREAT Dad, you could see he loved his family. He also loved people. He loved his friends. He had the the gift of gab for sure! I will miss seeing Chico at ball games and Let it Rip with Jake and Ally.
We have lost a treasure
I want to wish my sincere sympathy to his entire family.
Chris and Eric
