He was a kind friend to many, young and old alike. Chris had a renowned, magnetic and infectious smile. He irrevocably touched many lives during his short life. Chris took his place with the Lord on Saturday, June 6, 2009 at the young age of 12 years. He died doing what he loved best-playing soccer in the Coca-Cola Classic Soccer Tournament in Greenwood, Indiana. While playing, Chris suddenly collapsed and was taken to the hospital and thereafter died due to an undiagnosed heart condition.
