An all around athlete and really nice guy. During our gym class, he was the one everybody looked up to as an athlete. Very kind person with a wonderful spirit. You will be missed.

Dear Richard and Joanne,
I send this message with a heavy heart after hearing of the loss of your son Chris. In education and coaching you remember the good students and athletes. Chris was on the top of both lists. His high spirits, positive outlook and tremendous personality made it a pleasure to be in his company. You raised a son that that any parent would be proud of. In due time good memories will overshadow and fill the the huge void we all feel when a great man passes before his time please give a warm hug to each other and your daughters from the both of us.

I'm sadden to hear of the passing of Chris so early in life. I had the plessure of being able to play high school football with him. Chris was hard working on and off the field. He always tried his best playing defense in the corner position and was a leader to others on the team. May he rest in peace
