Chris one of the best people that I've ever known had a heart of gold we got along so well never argued never fight my best friend and my brother always there for me always cheered me up and always made me feel beautiful always knew what to say always knew how to make me laugh. I remember when he was working at ski sundown how he would call me every day and asked me to order him Chinese food so that was our big joke because he knew I had no car at the time and couldn't bring it to him I remember during that blizzard the year before he passed we went driving in his Jeep and there was somebody that was stuck in the snow with their car I remember he got out and he helped them get their car out and when the man offered him money he turns it down I remember I asked him why he turned it down and he said it made him feel good just knowing that he did a nice thing for the older gentleman I love you Chris inspiration hero only the Good die Young you are greatly missed I think about you all the time 22 years later you're the reason why I never touched alcohol such a tragedy and I believe that they should change the laws tell them the first time they drive drunk not the third had they done that with this man you would be here today Rock the heavens I love you brother

Christopher was my nephew and I will always remember him as an 8 year old boy with white blonde hair. I am so sad at his passing and pray for him every week at church, Auntie Frances
