Christopher Lee Ziegelmeyer

In just 3 days you would have been 33...I can't help but think of you everyday with an aching in my heart for all the things you are missing...and all the love for you we have to send to heaven instead of share with you here on earth...I miss that big grin you always had for me...and so wish things could be different.

RIP Chris, I know i only met u once but i wanted to say that u made an impact in my life. i wish i would of been able to get to know u better.

Chris,

It seems like just yesterday we were having some beers at the union hall and you were talking about the new house and how excited you were about everything that was going on in your life. Now you're gone and this still seems so surreal to me. We miss you like crazy Zig, but I know you're in a better place now, and I know you'll be watching over all of us. I just want you to know that I've always looked up to you Chris. You have always been a brother to me, someone who has inspired me, who has pushed me to be a better person and a better firefighter. Heaven has another angel now, and so do all of your friends and family. I know you'll be watching over us from your resting place every time we go out on a call now, waiting for us to come home safely. Rest in peace Chris, until we meet again.

Love ya bro,

Chris,

Words can't even begin to express the pain and heartache that we your family are feeling right now. You are a great cousin and we have had plenty of late nights on the landing that I will never forget! We are all going to miss you so much and will always remember the great person that you are! We love you Chris and until we meet again RIP Cousin!

Love You Cuz!

Chris, You just don't know how many friends you had in high school. I will miss you alot. You have been there some days for me in high school when I needed a friend the most. My prayers go out to your family, coworkers, & friends. We all miss u greatly Chris.

R.I.P. Chris you will be missed.

Chris, It's been a long time since we last saw each other but I will never forget all the great times we had as kids growing up (You know playing basketball and just hanging out). You were my best friend all through school and I will always remember you. R.I.P my friend.

Chris, I have so many great memories of you, and I will always and forever cherish those! You were and always will be a great man! You will be missed by many. May you rest in peace!!!

R.I.P. Chris, you were a great cousin, a loving family member, and a wonderful person. Words will never express the feeling of sorrow and grief of missing you. I'll cherish the memories and our childhood growing up. I love you, cuz.

Chris, from the time I first met you when you started working at Jeffco, you were a great guy to work with. The 12 hours locked behind "the wall" were so much easier when I was working with you. Your sense of pride, tradition and humor all mixed to make you a great person. The last time I saw you was 2 weeks ago tonight, we talked over a beer at the union meeting, you beamed when you talked about how much you loved working at Creve Coeur. I was so happy for you, you had achieved all of the dreams you had that we talked about all those years ago when we were dispatching at jeffco. You will be missed brother!!!
Rest easy, 'til we meet again

God Bless you and your family

You will be missed Chris my prayers go out to you and your family

Its hard to believe it was just a year ago when we were having soo much fun on the Zipline Tour and now your gone...RIP Chris

Chris, you were an amazing friend and a wonderful firefighter and paramedic who had a true gift and love for your work. I am going to miss your great humor and perfect smile. We will miss you every day and cherish all the great memories we had. Peace and love to you. Ziegelmeyer and firehouse family, you are constantly in my thoughts during this rough time. Love to you all

Not too often do you run accross someone who would give anyone in need the shirt off their back. You're admired by many and have left a positive impression on many of us that will not be forgotten. I know you will be looking after us like you've always done. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.

Love and miss ya Bro,

Chris, I'm not sure where to start. You were good for our daughter,Melissa and we knew that she loved you more than life itself. We knew you were trying to do the best you could. We were always proud of your accomplishments as a firefighter. You were a great friend to my grandson, Eric, who is missing you more than anyone right now. No matter what, we always loved you and will miss you. Rest in peace.

you will be missed

“If You Could”
- Melissa R. Wilson


If you could take a journey through my mind you would believe there could be no other.
If you could pass through my heart you would know you’re my one and only lover.
If you could swim through my body you would be soaked in my love and passion.
If you could look through my eyes and see all your beauty you would understand my reaction.
If you could smell the scent of your body you would be aware of why I breathe so deep.
If you could feel the touch of your hands you would understand why I sometimes cannot speak.
If you could listen with my ears you would hear the promise in your voice.
If you could kiss your sweet lips with mine you would be aware of why I lose my poise.
If you could feel the reassurance and refuge of your arms you would never want to be let go.
If you could experience through me, the wonderful marvelous you, you like me would just know.
If you could only feel what I feel, you would know why I spend countless moments in reverie.
If you could only feel what I feel you would know why I write such poetry.
If you could be me with you for only just one day,
You’d be me forever and never be you again!

To my knight in shining armor, You were the most beautiful man I ever laid my eyes on and I will love you forever...and 3 days after that.

Chris, I first met you in Medic class back in 2007. I am so glad that I was able to become friends with you and after class we were able to work together. It was such a blessing. You were a wonderful paramedic and I am sure you were just as good of a firefighter. Gary had mentioned the other day that he had to grade based on spelling cause if not, you would have had a 100% on everything! RIP Chris!!

Chris, even though you were a grown man, I will always think of you as my "little" nephew. I hold so many fond memories of you when you were little and am amazed of the man you've grown into. You will always be in my heart and I will think of you everyday. You have so many family and friends that love you and that shows what a wonderful person you are. Rest in peace for I know that you are with Grandma and Grandpa Ziegelmeyer looking down on everyone else. Love you forever and always, Aunt Tammy.

Chris,

You have been one hell of a friend. You have taught me more than you will ever know and I am thankful to be able to call you a friend. Im going to miss you buddy. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Fair well buddy and I will see you in the future.

"Sup Man"

I hold very fond memories of all of us. You will be missed.

To an amazing guy with a heart of gold, you have touched so many peoples lives. You were a great friend and always fun to be around. You will be remembered, loved, and sadly missed by everyone you came in contact with.

Chris, not sure where to even begin...you were a great friend to so many people and you touched the lives of so many without even knowing. You had a beautiful heart and a great sense of humor. You will be remembered, loved, and missed by everyone you came in contact with.

Chris, rest in peace we know you are looking down from above, keep an eye on us. Your a great man and will never be forgotten. I'm glad that I was able to get to know you and call you a friend.

Chris, you were a great guy. From your days as an explorer at Antonia, you started excelling as a firefighter and grew to one of the finest firefighters!
I always ask others what kind of void will be made when you leave this world, what kind of influence do you have on others? Chris, the void now with you gone is un-fillable and the influence you have had on others is tremendous and indescribable. You truly will be missed!

Our thoughts and prayers to the Ziegelmeyer family and all Chris's friends during this very trying time. Chris, you will always hold a special place in my heart dear friend. My God hold you tightly and take away all your pain. God speed my friend. Missy Wingbermuehle & Family

Chris, I never had the opportunity to meet you. But I can see, by the outpouring in the community and on FB, how loved and cherished you are. Your memory will continue to live on in so many people. Rest In Peace.

Chris will be missed very much. From the day he was born, he has held a special place in our hearts. Chris, Jason, Mike and Brad were always having fun.(What a foursome!) Since they were babies, they were always together. Chris you were like another son to us and hope you know how much we love you. We have always been proud of your accomplishments of your firefighing career. It is hard to express in words to Lee, Debbie, Jason and Nikki how much they mean to us and how deeply we regret their loss. Their pain is being shared by many of Chris' friends and family members because he was such an important part of so many lives. We will always hold a special place in our hearts for you C.C. and will treasure all the many, many memories we had all made together.

Chris you will be in our hearts forever. We have loved you since the day you were born. You and Jason shared so much time together with Mike and Brad....always the four of you. You were all like brothers and like a son to us. We will always hold those memories near and dear to us. It's hard to put into words the sadness we feel for Lee, Debbie, Nikki and Jason. Chris loved them all very deeply. As a family we have shared many memories and those can not be taken away. We will miss you Chris (C.C.) Love, Aunt Carol and Uncle Glenn

Chris, where do i even begin...you were an amazing son, brother, friend, boyfriend, role model and so much more to so many people. I hope you know how many people's lives you have touched. You will be sadly missed and loved by everyone that you came in contact with.

You'll never be forgotten Chris. I'll always remember your smiling face and helping hands. One of the best firefighter/medics I've even worked with. God speed brother!

R.I.P Chris, I didn't get to see you very often, we didn't get to work together but a couple of times. Your were an awesome person. Prayers for you and your entire family and friends.

Chris,

You have been one hell of a role model for me and have taught me so much in such a little about of time. I hope my career will be as fullfiling and as high quality as yours. You have shown me what a friend you have been to me and taking me under your wing without even knowing me. I'm going to miss you buddy and I'm sure will can run some more calls together some day. I know your looking down at all of use and will always protect us.
