The human soul is a light from God. May it be your will that the soul of Christopher Black Cannon enjoy eternal life, along with the souls of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah, and the rest of the righteous that are in Eden. Amen.

I am genuinely saddened to hear of Mr. Cannon's death. He was a worthy opponent, non- partisan collaborator and just a witty and decent man. Congress deserves more men of his caliber. My sincere condolences to his family, friends and former staffers.

As one of those magnificent Cannon Family members who inspired me to not only join the Church, but attend J. Reuben Clark School of Law, I loved Chris like a brother and clerked for him at the Provo firm of Park Robinson. He was an extraordinarily humble yet brilliant man, then the country needed his wisdom and honest nature so Chris Cannon went to Washington.
All the while he was emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually supported by his better half, his gifted spouse, Claudia Fox Cannon, whom I cherished as a sister. Each of their fabulous children became superstars, with Rachael being the first to grace the heavens.
Seeing firsthand how loving and intelligent his Mom was and what grand ambitions his Father held for his children as they each modeled their dedication to the Church and each remained "...close to the Lord" until their respective passings. Each of Chris´s siblings are and were exceptional people. One round of the Dictionary Game we played at holidays would be sufficient to convince anyone.
My heart is broken as Claudia and the children and grandchildren mourn his passing. Nothing but the grace and comfort of the Holy Spirit of God can lighten that devastating loss. But as a friend I want to hug each of you and remind you he´s only a momentary thought and sweet memory away. To Christopher Black Cannon my dear friend, God´s Speed!
Much love always, Jane Reiser, Esq.

Chris was a dear friend! We first met as we both become advisors for Maverick Angels. We spent hours discussing business strategy often over lunch. He had a brilliant mind, high emotional IQ, and a deep love for our country. Most of all, Chris was a good man! RIP Chris!.
