To my sweet and handsome nephew, another year goes by. We all miss you very very much. I hope you are keeping the family up there
in line and you know who I mean. Watch over us here
on earth too. It's a crazy world we are living in now.
Sprinkle some angel dust on Grandma to make her
stronger while she is still with us along with your sweet sweet Mama and Daddy and Justin & Cari. Just wanted to say we miss you and love you!
Much love, Aunt Cynthia

Mr and Mrs Brown, Justin
I’m deeply saddened to come across this page. I remember climbing trees with Chris in the backyard as a kid, playing basketball and playing hide and seek! We would put Justin in the car and push him around the yard. I can still recall him laughing so hard!
Rest In Peace Chris,
Love always Bryan Schild

Recently, my wife Jenny and I moved within five minutes of my cousin Chris. In no time he was over helping me change out my dryer outlet from a four prong to a three prong. The following day, we grilled dove and quail on the pit. That boy loved to cook! I think he loved to eat what he cooked even more, as did many others.
I will never forget all the times at Chinquapin. From shooting ducks and coots behind the house to spending countless hours shelling crabs and oysters, we always had fun. I think it is safe to say that I could fill a book with all the stuff we have done over the years. I’m deeply saddened that I won’t be able to add to all these memories.
Chris loved to pitch washers as most our family does. Whether we were at the bay or the Frio, we seemed to always team up and take on the “old men”. For hours on end we would take turns winning our shares of mini tournaments and big bragging right championships. I'm going to miss these good times with Chris. I can truly say that I will never, ever, be able to find a washer partner as good as my cousin.
I don’t know how to numb the pain of losing Chris. Every time the family gets together, there will be a void. Every year we travel to the Frio, there will be a void. I know you will be with us in spirit, but it’s just not the same. I miss you so much!
On September 1st, I lost my cousin, my washer pichin partner, my buddy, Chris. I will never forget you “cuz”. You better be one of the first in line to greet me when I get up there!
Your loving cousin,
Erica Guerra

It has been a little over a week, and it still hurts just as bad. I want to tell you how AMAZING you are, how BEAUTIFUL you are, but above all else I want to tell you how very SPECIAL you are.
We had our fights, but the good always outweighed the bad...ALWAYS. I am so proud of you, I am proud of who you were and the guy that you became...you came such a long way. Your spirit and determination were enough to give me a lifetime of inspiration, and it did. Your love was flawless and you always made sure I knew just how much love you had...I owe you the world for that. I love you so much my angel, so very much. That will NEVER change, I will love you until I am with you again, "Promise, Promise."
Don't worry, I will take care of everything sweetie, I know that you won't rest easy until you know that everybody is ok...I'm gonna take care of them sweetheart. Rest now. I love you.

For everything there is a reason and a time, for every matter under heaven.
He was a son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew, and our dear friend…and to all of us he was Chris.
Why God took Chris at such a young age and suddenly without farewells, we will never quite understand….As the priest said on Saturday in his sermon Chris was on Loan.
Chris has touched all our lives in different ways, and we are better people for the experience.
We now rejoice in his life, and learn to live with his loss thru memories.
Our family chain may be broken and nothing seems the same but as God calls us one by one our chain will link again.
Chris may the music above be loud enough so I can dance on the tables next year at the Frio river.

I met Chris at Cindy and Glenn's house (only for a few minutes). However, I will never forget his beautiful smile. I stood back and watched him chat with Cindy for a while. He was so animated and seemed so happy. I remember talking to Cindy about him later. It is amazing how he stood out as being such a special person - after only one meeting!! It breaks my heart for all of you! We will pray that his memory will guide you. Pam and Rob Kimmons

Brenda, Pete & Justin,
I want you to all know that you are each in our prayers. Although I haven't known Chris all that long personally, I want you to know that he is a "Special" person. Hard at work with us for 3 weeks, it was always an ear to ear smile and a "how are you doing today Mr. Scales?" I do not know how many times I told him that Mr. Scales was my dad....not me, and to call me Gary. Brenda and Pete, you have both done a wonderful job in raising both of your sons. They, in my book, are both 2 Great men. Although one of these men have been taken from us at a young age, God has a larger plan that requires Chris to be with him. We will all meet together again someday, and Chris will know the "Heavenly Honey Hole", where all of the big specks, reds and flounder hang out.
It was a priveledge to get to know Chris in the short time I had, but he will ALWAYS be remembered.
Brenda, I do not know if you remember this, but our parents were best of friends back when we were kids..... My mom and dad were Lillie and Malcolm. This world keeps getting smaller and smaller.
We love you all, and take peace in God,
Gary, Robin and Cody Scales

Brown Family,
Ive never met any of you guys but I still want to let you know what a great friend chris was to me. He never let me down, never stood me up, always tried to cheer me up, and kept me laughing. And although Chris and I have only been friends for too few of years, I cant say that about some of my lifelong friends. Its a loss that has left me heartbroken, drained of tears, and numb. You guys raised a great, great guy that made a real difference in my life and he will be severely missed.

To the family of Chris:
Our prayers have been and will be always with you all. Chris was such a warm, kind, loving gentleman. I remember all the fun birthday parties for Chris and Justin when they were little tikes. Those parties were so much fun and I can remember Chris' huge smile at those parties. We will truly miss him and pray for strength for you all and remember God gives us strength and will never leave us. Chris is with us all in spirit always.

Dear Pete, Brenda & Justin:
There are just no words to express the sadness in our hearts. Even though we didn't get to visit with Chris but a few times in his adult life I think of him as a cuddly teddy bear. I remember how he loved/hugged on you at Mr. Brown's funeral. I also remember the beautiful poem Chris wrote for his grandfather. It takes a caring thoughtful young man to write such beautiful words. That is the image I will always remember!

Pete, Brenda, Justin and Family,
The words do not exist that can express how heartbroken we felt when we heard of Christopher's death. But, in your grief, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I pray that God comforts you in the knowledge that His ways are not our ways and that when this life has passed, the reunion with Christopher and all who have passed will be one of unimaginable and unending joy and peace. God Bless.
Stanley and family.

You will always be our baby, as we will never forget your constant smile, all of your jokes, and your love for your family and friends. Your endearing spirit, and your kind heart is what always brought all of us so much joy and happiness.
You always had the kindest heart that we had every known, and mere words will never express the emptiness and sorrow that will now be felt by us and all of those you touched in your short time here.
We will love you forever and ever,
Mom and Dad
