First let me say this, im biased while talking about Christopher. I was blessed to be able to be with him almost every day. I saw his ups and downs,and his even keels. The one thing he carried thru all of these was compassion. This is something we all could learn to do better. He genuinely cared for his fellow man and creature's alike. Here are a couple of examples, After our truck had broke down on a cold sun night, he was just about 8 years old someone stopped and helped us, i mean they really went the extra mile. They made sure we got where we were going safely. Whenever he saw someone broke down after that he would say dad stop, remember that time someone helped us! Sometimes i would stop and sometimes i wouldn't. I believe had Christopher been driving he would've been late to an awful lot of things because he would've stopped and helped as much as he could've. Before we moved to Powell we lived in an old house that was split into two rental units, at about the age of 7 while bathing he screamed and said dad there's a spider in the bathroom. Of course like most people i smashed it. He cried about the death of the spider and from that day forward he would carry the spiders outside and release them. These are just a couple of examples of Chris's compassion. He is my son i am a better man because of him. I will try to carry the good from him to others, perhaps we all can. Stephen Carl Parratt

When you hear a train pass, day or night, stop and say a prayer for Chris. God listens when the words come from the heart.

I have been thinking about you so much lately, in everything I see or do, I see you. I had a dream last night and you were there with us the whole time. I dream about you almost every night it seems. I miss you so much. The bus isn't fun anymore:( Because now our three-some is a one-some! Courtney left so now I'm all alone. Well I just want you to know I miss you a lot and think about you all the time, but you probably already knew that. Keep watching over all of us down here, and keep letting me know that you're still here. I miss&love you more then anything dude!!!! Have fun up there, and wait for everyone:)
My thoughts and prayers are always with you Mr. Parratt.

chris. I miss you so much, even now I cry every time I see your picture. I swear there's this kid at school that looks just like you from behind and I almost shouted your name last week, then I remembered. It honestly still doesnt feel real, I can't believe you're gone. I just miss you so much and everything is so hard. I wish you were here.

I really miss you though, Jacque's doing better you know, everyones trying to do better. Its hard. I wish you could have known that I was there. I'm sorry I couldnt help.
Rest In Peace Chris.

Dear Chris,
I feel bad that I haven't written until now. But I know you understand. It's been so long since you left us. But everyday I think about you. In every class, every time we go to the zoo or pass zoombezi. Even everytime I go home. We spent every day over the summer together, and I miss that so much. I know Tony felt really guilty. I guess everyone does. But you're with God now, happier than we down here could possibly imagine.
I know you know I love you. Even after all our silly dating drama. You were my best friend and still are. Forever and ever buddy.
Take care, Mr. Parratt.

Chris, although I never knew you, I know someone who did. When he told me about your passing, I was still saddened nonetheless. From what people have written here you seem like a great guy. Perhaps someday we'll meet, a long time from now.
Rest in Peace Chris

Chris you have no idea how much I miss you. I think about you every day and every time I laugh I know you're right there with me. You impacted my life so much you'll never know. I remember all the great times we had, espically our smoothie fight. I smile every time I think about it. I know you're right here with me, helping me with everything. To your family, they're always in my heart. I miss you<3

Chris, A month has passed now since you left us. It feels like it was just yesterday. Nothing has changed. The only consolation is that you no longer feel pain. I cross those tracks every day, twice a day, but I think about you more often than that. I suppose I always will. Really missing you Chris. Rest Peacefully

Dear My CutieChris,
I miss you so much babe! All of those long talks we used to have where we would gossip to one another. Or the smoothie/berry fights we would get into (which by the way my shoes still smell like that smoothie dumped on me) But what I think I'm going to miss the most about you was when we would lay under the trees and just look at the clouds and you would tell me how the clouds looked like ferretts:) I miss you cutie, but I know I will see that goofy grin again some day. I love you so much sweet stuff.
<3 always&forever Megan

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Parratt family and all of Chris' friends.
I was the first one on the scene after the incident Saturday afternoon. I found Chris, I was too late, but I stayed with him until paramedics arrived. While I didn't know Chris at the time, I have since taken the time to get to know him. I attended the Liberty HS vigil, met his father, and also attended the services at Rutherford mortuary. I needed to try and get to know the boy I found that afternoon and especially to put a smiling face with the child I found. This has severely impacted my life as well as my wife's and countless others. I feel like I now know a little piece of Chris for which I am thankful to all of you. I listened intently to every letter, poem and story that was shared. I'm so glad he was loved and had lots of friends. There are questions, however, that will never be answered. It's time for me to say goodbye to that sweet boy and remember his smiling face. I think I will love my boys more than ever after seeing what such a loss does to a father, family and friends. Steve, you and Chris' mother, are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Hang in there, you'll get through this.
God Bless,
Shane

Dear Steve, words just can't describe my feelings of love and loss of your Christopher, the apple of your eye. Rarely have I known a father like you, so proud and lovely. I am sorry I won't be with you, but I am holding you and Aunt Bunny so close in my heart. Christopher, darling boy, I wish you peace.

My daughter didn't know him either, but just being a parent of a student from the same school, I feel your grief. I can't imagine what you are feeling, but my heart goes out to you. We will be keeping you in our thoughts.

Christopher,
I never really got to know you as a young man or spend anytime with you, that I will regret. I will always remember the first time I ever saw your beautiful little face, for you were a small little boy with big beautiful eyes that were as big as the moon. I fell in love with you, I even tried to sneak you in my car to take you home with me. I am sorry that I never had the opportunity to really get to know you as I should have and grateful that I got to hold you, to experirence the warmth of your big beautiful eyes and your smile, it stopped me in my tracks. I will always have the memory of that beautiful little boy that made me smile and filled my heart with joy that warm summer day.
God Bless my darling little boy.
XXOO always,
Great Aunt Brandy

Chris.
I really cannot stop crying. I miss you so much already & I don't know how I'm going to handle your showing tomorrow. I've never been through anything like this before & it hurts way too much for me. I'm tearing apart everything & doing anything I can to find that picture of us. If we would have just taken one a couple of weeks ago like you said, but It's killing me that I can't find it. I'm so sorry you're gone & I'll miss all of our good times, that we always have. I love you so much & I'm glad I finally have an angel up there to look after me. Maybe you can help me find this picture now!! I love you Chris, I'll see you soon<3

Chris,
Hailey just told me today that we lost you. I am so sorry and I really regret not keeping in touch with you for the past 3 yrs. I miss you so much, you have no idea. I know you are in a better place, but I wish I could've at least talked to you one last time. You are one of the greatest guys I've ever met. You always kept me smiling. I'll never forget the snowball dance in 7th grade. Quite honestly, I've never stopped liking you. But it's a little too late now. Well I hope you even remember who I am.

I've worked with teens at my church and I understand what a vulnerable age it is. I hope you are all able to find comfort at some point . Do take care and know that others care too.

From a Mother of one of Chris's many friends, my heart goes out to the family. I can not truly know the pain you are suffering at this time but knowing Chris over the past few years I can say that he was a remarkable young man. Always smiling & always making friends. He will be missed by everyone he knew at school, on his job & everyone he came in contact with. May God bless you during this difficult time.
