Dear Conrad Family- Chad and I are so sorry for your loss of Chris. We worked with him at INSTAAR. I enjoyed talking to Chris about our cats. It was nice to see him light up and come out of his shell a bit when having a cat conversation. He's obviously a very gentle soul. I also have mental illness in my family. We have donated to NAMI in Chris's honor.

Dear Pam and family,
I send you love, support, and prayers from Massachusetts. Your son obviously inherited his gentle spirit and kindness from you, Pam. You have been a supportive and deeply thoughtful friend over the past 15+ years of working together. You have lifted my spirits during a difficult time with my youngest daughter. I can only hope to do the same for you now by letting you know that I share your deepest sorrow. I am here for you. May you gain strength in the days ahead as you are surrounded by those that love and care for your family-whether near or far.
Much love, Donna Gridley

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I was chair of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado when Chris was enrolled as a graduate student. He will be remembered fondly by us as a truly gifted musician and scientist who was always ready with a big smile, kind heart, and happy words. I hope it is some comfort to know that in his short time here he made a positive impact, touching all of us who had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with him.

I know Chris from my first few years as a graduate student at CU-Boulder. He was universally liked and was so clearly a gentle, kind soul. He made the stressful first years of school more joyful and easy to bear. Please know that my thoughts are with you as you deal with this loss and that Chris will be missed by all his friends in Colorado.
