I just heard about this yesterday. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of Chris's family. He was a great guy. I have only good memories of him. He was a kind soul. I haven't seen him in a long time, and he had been on my heart. I wish I could give him a big hug and tell him how special he was. God bless the family of Chris Rhoten, and may God's peace, comfort and healing be with you all today and always.

We are so saddened and shocked to read about the passing of Christopher.

I can not begin to imagine how you all must be feeling at this sad time. May God be with you and keep you.
With Love,

My Dearest Brother Chris, There are so many things I want to say to you...words cannot begin to express how I am feeling. I know you feel my love and my sadness at the same time. I am so blessed to have had you in my life and supporting me throughout the years. The memories of us growing up will forever be in my heart and on my mind. We shared so many good times and laughs over the years, you always cracked me up. I am so lucky to have been so close with you and the boys. I want you to know I will always keep the memories alive and remember the special moments we all shared. You were a great guy in so many ways and I know you are at peace now and hope in time that will give all of us some peace too. I will always be your little sis, forever and ever. I love you more than you know. Your sister, Monica
