Just sat down for the past 15 minutes thinking about you. I've been procrastinating writing this but i have things Ive been thinking about and should do this while its all fresh in my mind.

I’m going to miss you spontaneously joining the group calls with a one liner to try and make everybody laugh even if it didnt work most of the time, you never stopped trying at it no matter how it went. im going to miss your overly complicated roundabout logic on how to progress in runescape that never made sense to anyone except you. im going to miss your character impressions that were so scarily accurate, like your your randy savage impression. it was one of the most accurate impressions I've ever heard. you told us you wanted to be a voice actor someday and i know you'd have made a great one.

I know we got into squabbles but man i just want you to know i see our community as a family and you as a brother. im actually heartbroken losing you. its absolutely tearing me up.. i love you man and ill never forget who you were and what you meant to me.

I am sad to say that I did not have the privilege and honor of knowing Christopher personally. But, having read an article that his lovely mother wrote, I feel like I did. What a sweet, kind, giving person he was! His smile was absolutely beautiful and I so wish that I could have met him. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. I know that his loss will be felt deeply. Please know that he will be in the sun’s rays, the colors of the rainbow, the beautiful wings of a butterfly taking flight. He is all around you! And, he will always remain in your heart! R.I.P. Christopher!

I am shocked and saddened to hear this news. I knew Chris for nine years and he was a staple in our gaming community. Chris was a light to so many people from all across the world, from all walks of life. He was funny, caring, inclusive - always wanted to show me some new site or some new latest anything really and make sure I was up to speed. He was always really excited by life. I will never forget my times with Chris and I pray for healing for his family, friends, and all those who knew him during this time.

I am broken hearted to read this obituary for this young man. Christopher always went out of his way to be kind and helpful to me at the store. He always had a smile on his face and a happy comment no matter what was going on around him. He loved living. I looked for the aisle where he was bagging groceries because he always seemed so proud when he got to help me get my groceries to the car. He never complained whether it was hot, cold, rainy. And he always said something kind to me after he loaded my groceries into my car. He would say be careful and I will see you the next time! Well, Christopher, I will miss you and your happy countenance, but, I will see you next time.❤
