Christopher Gregory Obituary

CHRISTOPHER JAMES GREGORY, 21, died on Monday July 17, 2006, at his home in Sageglen. Chris was born on April 11, 1985, to Deborah and David Gregory. He grew up in the South Belt area and was proud to call it his home. Chris was a 2003 graduate of Clear Brook High School. At San Jacinto Com-munity College South, Chris served as president of Phi Beta Kappa, the college's honor society. He promoted the awareness of the society through community and campus projects such as the South Belt 4th of July float, campus blood and food drives, open houses, and the George R. Brown Thanks-giving super feast. He enjoyed acting in campus theater productions. Chris was a current Univer-sity of Houston Clear Lake student where he was active in the Unity Club and aspired to be a high school English teacher. Chris leaves behind his parents, Deborah and David Gregory; two brothers Josh and Seth; sister Audrey; grandparents Charlsie and Joe Ellis; cousins Kerry Lee, Charlie Lee and Krissy Greg-ory; aunts and uncles Bron-wyn and Steve Lee, Mary Ann and Rodney Olivier, John Gregory and Kandy Kabine Gregory; and all who were proud to call him their friend. Chris suffered from seiz-ures for the last nine years. Sunday night was his last one, and he is now at peace and will have no more pain. The family will receive friends from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 21, at Niday Funeral Home, 12440 Beamer. A celebration of Chris' life will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 22, at Niday Funeral Home. Interment is planned for Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery.

Though I only knew Chris through the internet, I knew he was a great guy, a good friend, and he will surely be missed. He's in a far better place now, and all those he touched will miss him greatly. Rest in peace, my friend.

Dear Debbie, David, Josh, Seth & Audrey,

Life is so precious we're never prepared for the loss of a child. My girls always talk of how the family still gets together for holiday's and such. I so enjoyed seeing everyone at Bailie's birth. May your memories keep your son alive in your heart and that it bring's you joy in time. The pain is unspeakable for now, but the days and nights will get better with time and loving memories. I will be thinking of all of you and if you ever need to talk I'm here. With love Dawn (Stacie, Jenni & Riki's mom)

I never knew Chris personally, but I remember fondly his posts on various message boards I frequented. He was always a happy, creative person, and rarely gave any indication that he was sick. He impacted on the lives of many people without ever meeting them in the flesh, me included. I wish his family all the best.

I have no idea what to say. I only knew him from online, as few other people have here, but you can tell he was so active that he has touched many people's lives online without meeting them. I know he is in a better place now, but he was taken far too soon. The world has needs of more people like him.

I just got to know Chris recently, he was a sweet man doing good work. I wish I could have been more than an aquantance from the online boards.

Like a few others here, I never knew Chris in person. The times we did speak, though, I was delighted by his playful intelligence and wry wit. My thoughts are with him.

July 23, 2006

What a strange, sad thing. Today, you can know a person's mind well, but nothing of their life. I debated with Chris many times online, but had no idea he was ill.



He was an articulate young man with deeply felt opinions. He'll be missed.

Chris had an amazing personality. I believe that it was an honor to have met someone like him while in PTK and experience his character. We all shared some wonderful times and it was quite a shock to learn of his passing. He is in great hands now and we will miss him dearly. My deepest sympathies go out to your family.

Dear Gregory Family,



We are so saddened to hear of the loss of such a wonderful person. Chris played baseball and went to school with our son Ryan. Though we didn't have the pleasure to know Chris as he grew into an adult, his accomplishments speak for themselves. Chris knew what was important in this life and will truly be rewarded in the next. Though your pain in great, take comfort in knowing that he is with a loving God. May your tears be short and your wonderful memories long.

I never met him in person, I knew Chris from online forums. Even from so far away, in a medium that relies on expressing yourself only text, Chris was always came across as vibrant, intelligent and so passionate about whatever subject he was talking about. He was a bright bright star and will be missed.

Dear Debbie and the Gregory Family,



I wanted to take this opportunity to express my deepest sympathies for your loss. After hearing the news, I flew back home to Houston right away to pay my respects. It has taken me some time to fully accept the fact that Chris is gone. Chris has been such an inspiration to me and everyone who had the humble experience to meet him.



There are few times in our lives when we can say that we met someone of great fortitude. For me this was Chris.



I want to thank you for bringing him into this world and giving us the opportunity to meet him. He will always be remembered for the compassion he expressed in the causes and people he loved so dearly.



My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here for you.



With all my heart,

Tom & Ruth Wedemeyer

Your family has been a wonderful witness and influence on Ruth, myself and our boys. You are in our thoughts and prayers during these dark days.

I didn't know him personally, but we used to talk alot on instant messangers and a some web forums.



He shared original digital artwork that he made, let me read drafts of plays that he was writing and had some interesting and enlightening discussions with me.



He will be greatly missed.

Ruth Hoffman

I was shocked when I heard the news about Chris. I didn't know him but I was privileged to meet his big brother Josh at the services for my step brother Mike. I know all to well what it's like to loose someone close to you at such a young age but, I take comfort in knowing that Mike and Chris are in a most awesome place, more wonderful than we could possibly imagine.



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and if there is anything that we (the Siggins family) can do, please let us know.



Josh,

I also wanted to say thank you for being there for Scotty and our family. It meant so much to us that you were there to share your memories and grieve with us. If there is anything and I mean anything that we can do we'll be there!



May God hold you all in his loving and caring arms and give you the strength to get through this time.
