Chris, you may be one of the hardest people I have ever had to say goodbye to. Like many have said and will continue to say, you were always there for friends and family. God bless you brother, I know that if Heaven didn't have a bar before now , they do for sure now have one. I know when I hear thunder from this day forward you are stirring it up and there is no peace brother, god took home an Angel for sure !! Till we meet again !!

Mama Sandra, Bro Shawn and family, I wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss. I know its hard to lose someone you love so much. Chris was like my older brother, always took care of me at school. we had a blast when we was young and did crazy things, it really breaks my heart to know that his gone. Always remember family forever. when you see my mami tell her hi for me and that we love and miss her so much. R.I.P Chris you will forever be missed.
