It is good to remember the fun part of Childhood. I was probably closer to Chris than I was to anyone in our neighborhood. That col-de-sac was our world. I look forward to seeing him in better conditions. Thanks Chris for the positive memories!

I can't believe it's been a year since I heard your voice and talked to you. I will forever remember your stories. You had a story for every situation. You were a very good friend that made me laugh at some very hard times in my life. I am thankful for our friendship and look forward to seeing you on the other side.

Chris, Some of my earliest memories of you was from Christmas Eve at the great Uncle and Aunt's as your youngest Spencer cousin. I remember you never just ignored me, but included me on whatever level I could participate. You always asked me what I was up to, and really cared. You were a solid rock, who was often calm and steady about most things in life. I remember if we got together in the summer I loved watching you kick the soccer ball around and listen to all the things you injured playing♀. I will miss you, but I know I will see you again in Heaven. I love you, Chris!

We had the pleasure of knowing Chris for many years. Our son Steve and Chris were friends for many , many years . I had the pleasure of coaching soccer, along with his Dad Jim, for 6 years. Chris was hell a of a goalkeeper, but watch out when he played on the field! He grew up to be a fine man. He will be missed! Paul and Pat Herring

You always had a story to make me laugh or distract me from rough times. You and Ryan came out to see Hunter play soccer. We had great times visiting and the last time we went out to dinner together. I love you friend and I am glad there is no more pain for you. Anne

Sorry to hear about your loss. I have very fond memories of Chris. I remember hours of kicking soccer balls at him while he defended the goal! (I didn't get too many passed him). He was always fun to be around. I just took my 15 year old daughter to see the old neighborhood last week and told her that's where the Spencer's lived. I could almost picture his El Camino in the driveway. My sincere condolences.
