Kris was one of the closest guy friends I had in high school. I always felt Kris had this huge heart and shared it with everyone. I am so shocked to have him leave us. To his sister and brother-n-law, I know Kris will be missed and now he is spending time watching over you with your mom and dad. Jackie, I never had the chance to congratulate you. I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I haven't seen you over the years, I still consider you a friend and am here for you. Tina Cullen Hack

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Kris' family and friends. We lost a super nice man at a way too young an age. I will never forget how kind he was to all us underclassmen at CW. May you rest in peace Kris.
