Christopher L. King

I went to Augsburg with Chris. He was such a sweet man. I always thought of him dearly. Prayers to the family.

I think of Chris and his daughter very often actually. Some things that occur in my daily life will bring them to mind and it feels nice to have that.

Chris, I hope you are enjoying yourself and Mackenzie (sp?) where ever you both are.

With much love and memories,

Raynie

Well Chris today is your birthday and I know you and Michaela are having one heck of a party with grandpa King. My first and last thoughts of the day are of you and Michaela. Our hearts are aching and we miss you dearly. I miss our late night phone calls. Love you... your auntie "lean machine"

Hi this is Zach Kiekow I played on Chris's bball team in 1998 at Park Center. He was such a good teammate and friend, he was alsoa great shooter too!!!! 3's all day dont leave him open!!!! R.I.P. dear friend

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Rest in peace Chris.

I remember when our house would shake and we would say "Theres Chris again!"

He will always be remembered.
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.

Kinger,

Although our paths didn't cross until a few years ago, you quickly became one of my best friends. Talk about a great guy! Such a kind heart and great sense of humor. You were always there for a friend in need. There's no doubt I'm a better person for having you in my life. Some of the best times of my life were with you by my side, and those memories will stay with me forever. I love you like a brother my friend, and I'll see you again someday.

To all of King's family and friends, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Terry, Rob, Jason and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Chris. I remember him as a teenager having fun driving home, the music blasting. And later as a new dad with Michaela. I can't imagine the sadness your family must be enduring. My thoughts are with your family at this very difficult time.

A neighbor of Rob's

Robert and Terry, I am so sorry that Chris had to go home so soon. I knew him for a short time, but he quickly gained my affection.
My heart goes out to you all.

I was very saddened by the news of Chris' passing. I knew him in high school and enjoyed socializing with him at Park Center events and gatherings. I send my support in the form of prayers to his family and to Michelle. The only positive light in Chris' premature passing is knowing that Michaela has her daddy by her side in heaven. God bless.

My thoughts and prayers are here for the family.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Chris. I saw him quite a bit at misc. bars. He will be missed. I am very sorry.

Kinger you left us way to soon. I have only known you for a year, but you made it feel like a lifetime. You were such a great teammate, friend and most importantly a great person. Please keep an eye on us from up above, as I know I will be thinking of you, especially on the field. My condolences to his family and friends. We all are better people for just having known Kinger. You will be missed!!!!

Terry and Rob,
I have always been a big fan of Chris. A wonderful athlete and young man. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. My heart goes out to you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

I went to school with Chris from birch grove on up and it saddens me that someone from that time in my life is gone. Chris, I've gathered from others that you experienced a terrible loss. One that I share. I lost a daughter and can completely undertsand what you had to deal with. I'm so so sorry for your loss and I hope that you've found peace. I'll see you at the eastern gate my old friend, GOD bless you, your family, and all those that feel your loss.

Rob,Terry & family ~
We were so saddened to hear about the loss of Chris. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Cherish the memories of Chris and look towards them to help you through the very difficult days ahead.
Chris will never be forgotten.

It feels not so long ago that we'd spent hours playing sports, video games, and you taking my money on the golf course. You were always a great friend and a kind person. You will be missed, but never forgotten. My deepest sympathies to all family and friends.

I never met Chris, but my son, Chris Nelson, has told me about the wonderful person he was and a great friend. He will be missed by so many. The number of friends and their love expressed for him and his family is a testimony to the man he was and the number of lives he touched.

My condolences to family and friends. My heart aches for you and my thoughts are with you. I hope you will find comfort in the memories of Chris and the man that he was.

Kinger you have left us too soon.
Your smile and engery will be missed when I am watching Blueline this year. You always brought a special spirit to the game. Thanks for always making me smile.
My prayers and thoughts go out to your family.
Blessings-

It was a blessing to know you!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Rob, Terry, Jason, Crystal, Damien and Abby, and families

I can't imagine the grief and sorrow that you are experiencing with the loss of your son, brother, and uncle. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are added to all in hopes that Chris is in a good place and that your happy memories will help you in this time of pain and loss.

Chris, it is hard to find the words to express the sadness I feel for you and your family. You will be greatly missed! I can remember you running circles around me on the baseball field and basketball court. Those were some great memories that I will never forget!

You touched the lives of so many and will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace and be reunited with Michaela. My prayers will not stop for your family and dearest friends to get through this difficult time...

Words cannot express the emptiness we feel of not having you walk in the room and make it light up with your smile and laughter. Our kids will miss the greatest uncle in the world, but will know that he is now with their best friend once again. You were everything to everyone and anything that you were around and we will greatly miss you. We LOVE you and will work as a family to once again get through an extreme loss of such a great person that was so full of life.

My thoughts and prayers are with the King family at this difficult time. He left us way too soon and will be missed by many great friends!

Chris,
You were an amazing person, who left this world way too soon. You will forever be remembered and we will miss you everyday, especially that contagious smile. I hope you have now found the peace and happiness that you were missing in this world.

To Chris' family - my heart goes out to you all. May God give you the strength to accept this loss and get through it together. He is reunited with Michaela, and is finally at peace. They will both be forever in our hearts.

Chris, in your short time here you touched so many lives. It was truly a blessing and a privilege to call you a friend. I know that you are watching over us now, and your spirit will be here always. You were dearly loved, and will be greatly missed. I pray your family finds comfort and strength in this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, for peace and understanding during this time. He will be greatly missed.

Chris, you will be missed by so many. You were always a great teammate and an even better friend; a genuinely kind-hearted person with a magnetic personality and a great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.

Chris' smile will shine over everyone. I just keep thinking that he is happy and reunited with his daughter. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Christopher Lee, my big brother, you are already missed. Your warm heart and contagious smile have touched many lives. You will forever have a piece of my heart.

To Chris's family, I pray that you find strength in this sad time and find peace through the happy memories. Chris was such an amazing person and was very loved by many.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Terry, Rob, Jason, and family-

I know words can't express the shock and sadness you all must be feeling. Know that all my prayers, love, and kind thoughts are sent your way from Detroit. Some of my most fond memories are growing up with all of you at baseball and basketball throughout the years. God will provide where the hole of loss is. I have faith that Chris is now in a place of no more pain, and running and laughing through Heaven's fields with his dear Michaela.

All my love and hugs from afar-

Chris, you've left us too soon. Having grown up with you on a baseball field and basketball court I know how great a person you were. We'll miss you!

My God be watching over you and your family in this difficult time and holding close to his heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Chris was a friend to everyone he meet. He had that special something about him that people just gravitated to him. He will be deeply missed.

The Stellmacher family has such fond memories of spending time with Chris and the King family. What could be better than watching boys play basketball and baseball for so many years as they grow up. Chris was a talented athlete and a genuine person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad, sad time.

Kinger you will be missed by many and never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and many friends. I was told one time that GOD only takes the great ones, let me tell you he sure got more then a great one in Chris! Miss ya Kinger!

I am so sad to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be greatly missed by every person he knew and life he touched.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris's family & friends at this time. We will miss his big smile & kind heart.

King Family, I have so many fond memories of the kids growing up. Chris with the baby powder all over his room, head butts, etc. He will be greatly missed by all, he was such a kind spirited man.

Dear Terry, Rob, Jason and Family, Our hearsts are heavy with sorrow for you, some how we hope God gives you strength. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He was such a great guy!

Chris's family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers durning this difficult time. Its been a long time since Ive seen Chris but in my head when I think of him all I can think of is him laughing.

A classmate from Birch Grove

Dear family of Chris,
I have never met your son Chris but my son is a friend of his. I can't imagine what you are going through right now to have lost a son. I pray you find strength to help you through this terrible time.
He has many friends and I know he is very loved. He will be deeply missed by everyone.

Chris i hope that you have found peace in your final resting place. I will cherish all the memories that we had together. I look forward to seeing you again one day. BP Panthers for life!

We are so sad to hear about this. Know that you are in our prayers and thoughts during this tough time. Our memories of Chris will forever be cherished. He was a great person, great athlete, and will be missed.

So hard to believe we won't see "Kinger's" big personality at the ball fields this year. My thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time.
