When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure you love ? Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ? Chris, you will always be in our hearts & we will cherish your memories!

This is a tough one. You, like your father, Bob, can never be replaced. It breaks my heart to know my wife no longer has that very special gift of a brother's love that created a bond to be jealous of. It breaks my heart that my children, Ashley and Brandon, won't run for the door excited that, "Uncle Chris is here!", no more rides in his jeep with the top off, never get a chance to catch a fish with his help and countless other memories because he was taken before his time. I can't accept he's in a better place because too many people still needed him here. Finally, it breaks my heart that I won't have the special brother-in-law he became to help raise my children with, to help comfort my wife when a husband's assurance just isn't enough and even just someone to have a beer and a game of pool with. OK, beers!
I'd give my right arm to have one more chance to pick up his dirty clothes and dishes again...
I miss you and love you and you will always be remembered for all the good things you did. I promise...

Vicki and Family, When Vicki called me at work to tell me Chris was gone. I just could'nt believe it . It felt like yesterday we were painting a house to make some extra cheeze. He was a really cool dude to work with, he always made me laugh.On one job we were working on the lady had a cat , that had a toy monkey, She would say to the cat over and over go get the monkey, Chris and I looked at each other we were laughing so hard we almost wet our pants. There were so many more jobs we worked on that had a story, there was never a dull moment with Chris. Chris will be missed. I will keep this story and so many more in my mind forever. Rest in Peace!!!

Chris,
I know I have had 12 years to get to know you, but that was only enough time to touch the tip of the iceberg. You were a great father to Kaitlyn and a good Uncle to all of your nieces and nephews. Their eyes would always light up when they saw you coming or were told that you were on your way. I wish I could make their eyes light up that way once more, but your life was cut short way to quickly. I know you will watch over the children and your family every day of their lives. Until we all meet again at Heaven's door Rest In Peace......
LOVE LITTLE SIS ,VICKI

THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO YOU, I WISH I WOULD OF KNOWN, I WOULD HAVE SAID I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND KEPT YOU ON THE PHONE . I WAS ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEEDED ME , JUST LIKE YOU WERE THERE FOR ME NIGHT AND DAY. THERE WAS ALOT OF TIMES WE DIDN'T AGREE , BUT WE WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR EACH OTHER WHEN WE WERE IN NEED. IT'S SO HARD TO BELIEVE I HAVE TO GO WITH LIFE WITHOUT YOU, BUT THERE WILL WE A DAY WE MEET AGAIN AND THEN I WILL BEABLE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING THAT I HAD NEVER SAID. THANK-YOU FOR BEING THE BEST BROTHER BETTER THAN ANY BROTHER COULD BE........I LOVE YOU ,I MISS YOU , THANK-YOU FOR BEING THERE WHEN I NEEDED YOU.. REST IN PEACE BROTHER!!!
Love your Sister, Tina Drayer

Chris,
As the final days approach to sign your on-line guess book, I have waited to say my final good-byes to the very end. There is never a good time to say good-bye to a brother, a special friend!! The morning I got the call that your life was taken, I kept asking myself why, why you. I just wanted to keep telling myself that this was not true.
Now that things have calmed down I am left with a void, a void that I can not begin to explain. As I know well, it all takes time. But I know this time it is going to take a long time to heal from the loss of your friendship and your love. When I sit and look at pictures you were always standing behind me or right next to me with that smirk of a grin. As life goes on I will miss your presence but I do know that the love we had for each other that you will now be up above looking over me.
I will miss the joy you brought to my kids watching their face light up when "Uncle Chris" came home from work. The night we all laid together mourning your loss I will never forget what Brandon had to say.."It's OK mommy, now Papa Bob has someone to look over and someone to play with now........
Love and miss you always and forever.

I sit and wonder why? why you were taken away without even a chance to say good-bye, and as I sit around thinking of YOU with tears in my eyes, I think of life without you and it really makes me cry. THANK-YOU for BEING the BEST BROTHER better than any BROTHER could be...... I LOVE YOU!!

Chris was a wonderful man with a loving heart. He will be greatly missed. He touched my life in so many ways. We shared so many memories that are unforgetable. I knew with all my heart that I was going to come home and see his warm smile but we were all robbed of that. He will be in my thoughts and prayers for the reast of my life. I love him with all my heart and always will.

Our Uncle Chris was the greatest. He took us for rides in his jeep, wrestled with us on the floor and always no matter what, made us laugh. He taught us that no matter what we were all special to him...we mattered. We will miss you always and forever. You will be in our hearts forever. We love and miss you Uncle Chris...

I was so shocked when you called and told me about your brother. I remember in the summer when he was out side with his daughter and Michael playing basketball. I know he is looking down upon you and your family giving you strength to mend your loss and your broken heart. God now gave Christopher his wings to fly and make this world a better place for the rest of us. My heart goes out to you Vicki.

To the Wickham Family,
I give you my deepest sympathy. Chris was a very special person to me. He was a friend that was always there for me when I needed him; I am grateful he was in my life. I had gone through some many experiences with him and I have so many great memories. Chris had many good qualities I will always remember. He was funny, charming, spontaneous, caring, protective, supportive and unpredictable. Very unpredictable! He always kept me on my toes. I will always treasure the memories I have of him. Chris made a great difference in my life and I will never forget him. Your family is in my prayers during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of your tragic loss! I have so many fond memories of growing up with you all on 31st St. I often giggle at how frustrated Chris (and Tina too) used to get when babysitting our crazy clan, that is until my own children act just as goofy! Chris was one of the funniest people I know. I remember him putting his face into a full bowl of cereal at breakfast and us all laughing so hard we spit milk everywhere. His humor was sometimes above my head when I was little but he always kept Vicky and I laughing hysterically. He will be missed by many and remembered as a great guy!!!!
I am so sorry we have all lost touch but hope you know I think of you often. My thoughts and prayers are with you always and especially at this difficult time. I am sorry I was not able to express my condolensces in person but hope Mom (Linda Graffius) brought enough hugs from me too. Lots of love and prayers to you all!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
