I knew Kris for about a year and a half. We met at work. He was always the life of our store. It didn't matter if everyone was having a bad day, he'd find a way to make people smile. He always made sure everyone was happy. He was so happy to meet my baby sister when she came into the world. In the short time that I knew him, we became really close and he changed my life. He was a really good friend of mine and I will never forget him.
