Christopher Bottoms

Love you Chris. Thank you for the best educator I could have asked for...God bless you and your family. Thank you, you will always remain in my prayers.

I was one of Chris's students years ago. I am saddened to hear of his passing. He was a great therapist and teacher! He took his work seriously but had a good sense of humor. I wish I had known him better. His family is in my thoughts and prayers!

My friend I miss you. I learned more from you in the few years I spent as your apprentice,which gave me an opportunity to spend time getting to know you. I hate it that when you somehow entered my thoughts I didn't call. May God welcome you into his kingdom, and I can only hope to see you there when my time comes. Love ya like a brother, man.
Rest in peace

I have known Chris since I moved down here to Georgia over twenty years ago. We went to the same high school. After high school we lost touch, but over the course of losing touch we reconnected through friends that we shared. We hung out for the longest time. I remember one night that I was on a date with my wife then girlfriend at the time. We were at Waffle House having coffee, and Chris came up to us at the table, looked directly at me, and with all seriousness on his face asked what I was doing with a girl on a date. Chris my life is better for having you in it. We shared a lot of laughs at Waffle House. Save me spot. To Ellen and Hugh and his entire family my prayers and those of my family are with you.

Oh my. I'm deeply saddened by this news. Chris was one of my most powerful healers and had such a gift. Though I was going to a therapy appointment, I always felt like I was getting time with my new friend Chris. During our short time together, I realized he was truly a caretaker of the hearts and souls around him. His compassionate spirit always came through. It's so tragic- to see death pass outside the natural order of things. His time here was too short, and I simply don't have the words for his parents, friends, and family. All I can say is he made a powerful mark in this world, was clearly loved by many, and that my heart aches for you during this terribly sorrowful time. Know you are in my prayers and I hope in time you find moments of peace. I know we will all keep his memory alive in our hearts...

Proverbs 27:17, "Iron sharpens Iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friends.".
No better verse could apply to Chris. So many of us were left better from our time with him. It saddens me to know his time was cut short. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this time.

Ellen,
Deepest sympathy to you and your family. May God grant you comfort and peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Hello Ellen,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

As I read the guest book, I am impressed by all the wonderful tributes that friends are paying to him.

God Bless You

Chris was my teacher and bodywork mentor. Even after I graduated, I'd bring my toughest cases to him to help me solve. He was so talented and giving of himself. He had a huge heart, huge smile and huge hug. He's going to be missed by many. I'm so sorry for your loss. Chris was an extraordinary human being and I feel certain he's experiencing the love that he gave, right now. Peace to you.

Chris was such a gentle soul. He helped me through some sports related injuries. I so enjoyed our chats! Even though I only knew him briefly, my life is improved from having known him! My sincerest condolences to all those who love him. The world has lost one of the good guys!

My thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends during this difficult time.

My heart is broken for you, Ellen. I don't have the words to express my sympathy adequately. Know that I am praying for you during your time of sorrow.

My heart breaks for you, Ellen. I am so sorry to receive news like this. I don't know what to say or do that would bring you comfort other than I am praying for you. May God bless you.

We knew Chris for a good number of years through his friendship with our daughter, Kristin. We liked Chris a lot and enjoyed having him vacation with us one summer in Florida. Our deepest sympathies to you all for this sad loss. May Chris rest in peace and with love and prayers from Beth & Chris Yoder

Randy and I are just devastated over your loss of Chris. Please know you will be in our constant thoughts and prayers. We love you. Melinda Miller

Chris made an enormous impact on my life. He was my teacher and a wonderful friend for the time I got to know him. He had a giving heart and a kind spirit. I know he made a great impact with his life and he is greatly missed. I pray that he gets to know and see how wonderful everyone saw him and what an amazing impact he had on the world. We all make a ripple and his was extraordinary. Rest in peace and love, Chris. I'm very sad you're gone, but I know you filled your life's purpose here. You did so much for so many people including me. And I'm so grateful that our lives crossed paths. You will always be in our hearts. Xx

Chris's memories will be in our hearts for forever. He was such a great guy with an awesome spirit. We always had these philosophical conversations about humanity, animals, and politics, while he was inflicting pain upon me. Thanks for being you...Rest in peace...

What a sad loss! You will be missed. An amazing healer and inspiration!

Chris will be sorely missed by his friends and colleagues. There is no one who knew better how to relieve an individual's physical pain. Rest in peace, friend.

You will be missed my friend.

I cannot think of words to express on how inspiring Chris has been along the way. I am honored and very grateful to have walked in this time with him. I have known you for 15 years and although we didn't talk daily, I know we faught spiritual battles on a regular basis. Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for being my friend, and thank you for letting me call you brother. Until we meet again, know that we will continue to be spiritual warriors and healers. I love you brother.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this most difficult of times. You were such a good teacher so smart and kept us laughing. You will not be forgotten Rest in Peace!
