Christopher David Gilley

Chris saved my life in April. I've been clean ever since. That was that. Luckily he had narcan on him...I would have died...no question. He was my friend...and a brother. I know he loved his children and knew he had a good relationship with his mother. We left Powell together to go to the Helping up Mission. We spent 2 weeks watching one another's backs on the streets of Baltimore. Roughed it and through that became brothers of sorts. I miss him dearly. I was in light contact with him though the summer. It was a bullet to the heart the day I caught the word of his passing. I will remember him forever...I owe my life to him...and that debt will be paid in my continued sobriety. Love ya Gilley. Hold a spot for me brother. Bless your soul. Derek Schell.

It's been about a week since he has been gone, it really hasn't hit my family yet but I'm glad my father Christopher Gilley is now at peace. I'm sorry I didn't get to say Happy Birthday to you before your passing. I love you dearly and so does Skylar Gilley and Sharon Jadwin. His step sisters Heather Tome and Candace Tome and his step father Robert Tome (Poncho) miss him dearly. I hope you're in peace wherever you're at. We all do R. I. P Chris Gilley
