To the Carroll family I am so sad to hear of Christophers passing. I graduated with Chris and he was a good friend in school and outside of school. I have so many fond and funny memories of him. I remember him always with a smile on his face and he could make you smile if you were feeling down. My fondest memory was him doing Donald Duck how he would me make me laugh. I am so sorry for your loss and know he will be missed by you all. R.I.P. Chris
