Christopher was quite a young man, living life to the fullest despite his limitations - he still managed to laugh and be happy, and saw the fun and bright side of life. I was honored to have known him and spend a few hours of his life near him. I still have a picture up of him and my nephew when they were playing buddy ball together. Christopher taught me so much about living life to its fullest. Thanks Christopher for your gifts to better my life. Dorinda, Tony, Amy, and the rest of the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Christopher will be missed by many!

I remember Chris's love of music in Sunday School. I wasn't sure how much Chris was following the lesson until I saw the pure joy that flooded his face and whole body when we sang,so we sang a lot! I'm so happy to have had the chance to know Chris and the McCoy family.I'm sure he's dancing in heaven.
