Mrs. Marano,
I wanted to sign the guest book in honor of Chris. I was able to serve with him on board the USS NIMITZ. He was a great guy and definatley a leader...I did not surprise me he became a DPS officer. the 2005 Wespac is still a blur but I remember when he came to our division. Im a ABE and was in the Bow. He was always very serious and wanted to go security at all times.

I hope all is well and you found closure today.

May our Lord bring comfort to the family of this young man. Thanks for the work he did to maintain safety for all of us traveling the Arizona highways. I appreciate every sacrifice given by DPS.

Hey chris sorry I missed evrything why u were fighting for your life I was brining one in. We go way back as our moms were good friends. I miss u so much an wish we could have been able to have our kids meet. An maybe they would have loved to hang out like we did as kids. Love u will always be in my heart!!!!!!

I pray God will comfort your heart and fill you with peace.
A great loss for his family, a great gain for Chris. To be in the presence of God, with a Hero's welcome.

Possibly this evening, KPHO Channel 5, is planning on having a news clip about Chris Marano's Family gathering yesterday at the DPS Headquarters in Phoenix. I posted photo's and a video.

I miss you like crazy Chris, but my husband and I happen to be IN AZ right now so I'm stopping by your police station today to drop off flowers. I love you bud.

Today when I met the Family at the DPS Headquarters in Phoenix (memorial), they shared with Me that Officer Chris Marano was baptized 2 months prior to his passing. We agreed that He is in a much better place "Heaven". And that is reassuring to know that we that are right with God, will get to see our Family members again in Paridise. May God's Blessing and protection be own the Family. God is faithfull

Chris, one year has gone by fast. Still remember the stories that Mike has told me about you. RIP

Thinking of you my friend. Kelley

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD. CHRIS IS WITH GOD NOW.GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND COMFORT THEM. SGT ROY E.PAYNE,MT VERNON IL POLICE DEPT

Happy 29th birthday Chris! Thinking about you and your family today. Shelly and the girls are on my mind and in my prayers.

Rest in Peace and my God watch over your family to give them strenght.

Good night sweet prince, and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

To Chris' Family & Friends: May God comfort you and keep you through this difficult time.

Rest in peace and God Bless the family.

A lot of tears they lost one of three police officers Miss Ya!!!!!!!!!!

This tragedy should not go in vain. As Americans, we should unite behind what he stood for and helped to protect us from. We have lost a dedicated individual and we need to continue his memory in our prayers to his family and friends.

My heart is heavy at the untimely loss of one of Arizona's finest men, Rest in Peace.
God bless and keep the Family of this fine Man.

This saddens my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and fellow officers.
God Rest his soul, and God be with his family.

GOD BLESS !!!

I didn't know Chris, but I travel to Phoenix about once a week. I heard about his accident, and immediately made a contribution to his memorial fund. I know how much this hurts. I lost my dad to the line of duty when I was only 5 1/2 yrs. old. I proudly wear his blue bracelet on my wrist and will always have his family in my thoughts and prayers.

I met Chris many years ago while doing martial arts in Minnesota. I knew him as a very loving man, who deeply cared for his family and friends. He had good soul and will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
I too am now a part of a law enforcement family here in Minnesota, as I work closely with a police department and am dating one of the officers here. No words can express the feelings that are shared among the law enforcement community when one of their members' lives is taken away. Chris was taken away from his friends and family all too soon. He will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers to out to you and your family. May he rest in peace!

I'm police officer in Belgium, but I would like to let to the his familly that I'm so very sorry to hear of Chris's death. I want you to know that my thoughts are with you. It's always very sad for me to know that one brother in blue has been fallen. I keep always all police officers felt in my mind. Please accept my sincere sympathy. I am very sorry that Chris is no longer with you.
No doubt his sudden passing has been very disturbing for you and for the many other people who knew and cared for him. I am thinking of you and them in this time of loss and bereavement.
With sympathy,

P.S.: Be indulgent with my English, I speak I speak French!

I met Chris on the USS Nimitz during my first deployment, 2005. He was such a fantastic person. Always there when I needed someone to talk to, someone to show me around Hong Kong, someone to make me laugh. He was well respected as a military police officer and excelled at every task he was given. He is the first person who I know on a personal level who has passed, and I know that he is still watching over his beautiful wife Shelly, who I am lucky to know, and their gorgeous daughters. Rest in peace my brother in arms; my friend.

Hi Shelly-although I have not met you , I attended the services with my husband who is a fellow DPS officer. It was the first police funeral I have been to and I wanted to tell you that despite the tradegy and horror of what happened, your pastor that conducted the service did such a great job of shedding light and hope and found the good in this bad situation. I am a fellow Christ follower and have to tell you that this event has left a mark on my heart forever. As the wife of a fellow DPS officer, it is always our fear but knowing that you and Chris were saved and knew Christ was so inspiring and you have no idea how many seeds were planted in that sea of officers that attended his funeral! May God be with you more closely than ever and your family. I look forward to meeting you someday soon. The fact that you were able to stand and speak at the funeral was a miracle! I don't think I could have been half as strong. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony and Chris's through the words of your pastor and the photos-I bawled when I saw your baptism pictures and even get tears in my eyes thinking about it today.

As a survivor of a father who was killed in the line of duty when I was 5 1/2 yrs. old, it always hits home when an officer looses his/her life in the line of duty. I did not know officer Marano personally, but being raised by law enforcement officers, I always have family to anyone that wears a shield. I understand what it all means. I therefore have made a donation in his honor and proudly wear the blue wristband that holds his name and badge number. May he be joined by his brothers and sisters in heaven. From my heart.

I did not know Chris but he seemed to be a great Trooper and family man. I am sorry for your loss! The Arizona Highway Patrol and the Marano family has lost a great young man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and may Chris rest in Peace

Unfortunately I recently lost my thirteen year old son and I know the pain and grieve that you are suffering.

As a fellow officer I know that St. Michael will be waiting for Chris with open arms to welcome him to his new beat. I will keep your family in my daily prayers. Sgt. Roland J.

Christopher was my son and was a great man in and out of uniform. He cared about so many people and tried his utmost to protect his family, friends and neighbors everyday. May you rest in peace my dear son.

I never knew Officer Marano personally,but i do know he was part of an elite organization that put their lives on the line to keep arizona safe.
I had a very vivid example of this a few years back when Officer Bob Varners life was ended on interstate 40
not even a mile from my house. Bob had been a lawman for over twenty years retiring from navajo county sheriffs dept. and going to work for Department of Public Safety.
I salute you Officer Marano for your courage and sacrifice in helping keep our state safe.
To your family, i offer my most sincere
condolences and prayers.
My prayers are with you daily, may all of your dreams come true

Dear Marano Family,
My heart goes out to you, and I'm praying you feel God's almighty comfort now and in the many days ahead. Love to you.

Chris will never truly be gone for those who hold him in their hearts. We appreciated having him as a neighbor; we felt more secure knowing he was there, and his dedicatation to the people he served through his work. But more than anything, he was a loving husband and father to his family, and that is the greatest loss. Shelly, may the memories of times you shared as a family carry you through. We are here for you.

My heart goes out the Marano family, my son is a dps office . God Bless you and the family .

My deepest prayers go out to the Marano family. There truly are no words to express their sadness and loss.

My prayers also go out to the other officer who is also suffering.

Although there are no words to express my sorrow I hope the family can find some peace in knowing that Chris is still watching over them and serving and protecting as he walks side by side with our heavenly father Jesus Christ.

So very sad. The family is in our prayers.

Please know that my family expresses its deepest sorrows to the family of Officer Chris Marano. I know that God Blesses him and his family.
