Thinking of you extra around the holidays like I always do. You´re part of my inspiration that helped me step into pursuing and living my dream. I hope you´re playing your guitar up there in heaven and riding your dirt bike. I listen to some songs you´ve showed me over the years, and I stop and think of you. I know how you liked your music. You were so special. I miss you.

Chris I miss your gentle light heartedness. You had aura about you that just made people feel at home . I can´t believe it´s been five years since you left us. I think about you often and I miss you so much . I don´t think that will ever stop. U were a real one ... the real deal. I never imagined it would be like this, U not being apart of my world . You would be turning 30 in February. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock to a time when I saw you and you were happy and free. That´s how I choose to remember you. Forever in my heart, warrior. I hope you are at peace and it doesn´t hurt now. I love you .

Here I am at work, and I'm thinking of you Chris, randomly.Chris always made me feel included whenever I was in his company during family gatherings. I miss his presence so much, and I only realized that when I was around the family without him there. Eternally grateful I got to see him one last time before he passed. I will never forget that, I cherish the fact that I was fortunate enough to say my goodbyes and let him know the love in my heart that I carried for him.I hope and wish he knew how much I loved and cared about him, the days preceding what happened. More often than not, I catch myself looking at the clock, and it's the exact time that he passed. I take it as a sign, I know he is with me. I will never forget him. Chris always saw the good in whom ever he encountered. Chris was the most empathetic. He could feel the pain and suffering in others around him. I am thankful that Chris touched my life and that I was able to have such a special person as part of my family.this time of year hits hard and makes me really feel the losses I have endured. You are missed buddy. Hug my dad in heaven please. Love u Chris!

I want to thank the university of bridgeport for presenting chris chapmans new black belt and his honor awards it was a great honor to be able to accept for my son he worked and studied very hard to be the great warrior he became with his martial arts studies and degree. Ub was the best time of his life.

Christopher Chapman was one of the purest hearts I have ever met. He was always nice to everyone he met, offering help whenever someone needed it. When we were younger, we hung out together while our mom's hung out together. He would try to include me into everything, we swam together, went fishing - Jonathan was there too most times. He never missed my birthday parties, it was special to me. But most importantly we watched each other grow up into the great people we are and if I'm being honest, he was a far better person than I think I'll ever be. You know how when two families get so close over the years that you consider the other family yours? Well that's what happened with the Champman family and mine. He and everyone else in his family was/is my family. I know it sounds corny but it's true, I will always consider their family, mine. I can't help but look back at the 4 consecutive years I cheered for him (And the hoosic valley stampede) on the side lines. I always cheered for him in the side lines, I did lose the bloomers, pompoms and blue and white skirt but I was always confident he would succeed in life and he was well on his way to a great life with his beautiful wife and BA degree. At this point I'm rambling but I just want to say he is a beautiful person in all his affairs. You are loved and surly missed Christopher Chapman, rest easy champ, we'll take care of everything from here. xoxo

Chris was a great guy who always had a smile on his face, and it was contagious. We only knew him for a few months, but seeing him at LA Fitness & talking with him always brightened our day. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to his family & friends.

Sending so many prayers and condolences to your family and Leah. You were a great person. You were so kind and I am at a loss for words as to how the word could be the complete opposite to you. You are missed, loved and forever in our hearts. You have touched so many lives. This is such a tragedy. May god accept you into his open arms and may he also take away some of the pain your family, friends and loved ones are feeling. This is extremely difficult and you should be here with us right now and it hurts to know you are gone.

I am truly sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1,2)

A fine young man who exemplified courage and strength, Chris was the shining light of his mother Kolleen and his new wife Leah.He will be deeply missed, but will be looking over his family and friends as they journey through their own lives. God bless him and his family! RIP!
