I did not know Chris well, but our paths crossed briefly for a time, and I had hoped they would cross again in the future. It seems that was not to be. My deepest condolences to his family and to those who knew him far better than I. May memories of happier times spent together sustain his family and friends. I will always remember your smile, kind sir.

When i had lived in Chicago from May-December of 2016, I had gone through a series of not so great events that most of were out of my control but put me in a financially unstable position. I had met Chris and we instantly became friends. we shared the same sense of humor. He became the one person in Chicago that I could talk to about anything no matter what the situation was. I was heartbroken when I found out he had passed. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. Chris was truly an amazing person and an even better friend.

Chris had a smile that could light up a room and makes me smile every time i think of him. I can honestly say every time Chris was around, his very presensce itself, brought excitement and laughter to any situation. My deepest of sympathy to the Tuttle family and all of the lives who he touched. I never met the Tuttle family but from the way he spoke of you all and due to the nature of who Chris is, I know that any family who raised such a good man must be very amazing!
Chris lives on in every heart and soul all who were lucky enough to get to meet him throughout this journey of life. I wish all family and friends of Chris comfort during this difficult time. To Chris, thank you for many good memories and for the wisdom you had shared with me over the past few years. I give thanks for being lucky enough to have you as a part of my trip through this universe. God speed!
Love and Deepest Sympathy to All,
Jimmy Idell

Chris and I dated for about 6 months and I will never forget the thanksgiving he gave up to attend with me and my sisters family at my condo in Chicago in 2001. He was such a great guy! We lost touch, but I have always thought fondly of him.
Condolences to his family and those close to him!

Our daughter, Sarah, was great friends with Chris in high school. Whenever he was over at our house, his infectious smile would brighten everyone's day. We all enjoyed Chris, and Sarah loved being part of the "arty" community with him. We are so sorry for your loss. Laura & Gerry Shimek
