I'm so sorry to hear the news about an old friend. Chris was always a friendly face to see while we attended WMU together. I was nice getting reacquainted via Facebook the last couple of months. I wish the Dishon family all the best. God bless.

Chris and I went to Western together. He lived across the hall from me and we remained friends when we moved into apartments. I have enjoyed getting reacquainted through Facebook. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him. May Lucas find peace in knowing how much his dad loved him and how many people loved his father.

Chris will be greatly missed. I lived around the corner from him and rode the bus with him nearly every day of my childhood. He was always smiling, and always making others laugh! I had gotten back in touch with him just recently as we were both in the same line of work. I loved his jokes on FB (as bad as some were) and I loved his dedication to keeping memories of Union Lake area (early years) alive. My thoughts are with your whole family Chris.

What saddness. What a tremendous loss. My heart goes out to all of you at this time. Christopher was such a treasure to those who knew him. Fortunately as a child of Christ, we will see him once again. And he is enjoying the presence of the One who loved him unconditionally. Hugs...

"We didn't know that day that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, you love is still our guide; and although we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again."
My prayers go out to the Dishon family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I graduated with Chris from WLC. I am glad he and I still talked over the years. We just talked a few weeks ago. I will miss him dearly. I was in the Limo with our dates for our Senior Prom with him. I will treasure all the memories and pictures with him. He was such an inspiring person, and such the comedian. I will keep you all in my prayers to get through this difficult time. He is an Angel watching over us.......we will all be reunited again one day.
