Lissy, I miss our daily sports talks and about our hopes that one day our Kings would be good again. You had a huge heart and were very generous. You will be missed but not forgotten.

Goodbye my good friend, you were like a brother to me at work. We had some great times together, you are gone, but will not be forgotten. I'm so thankful I had time to get to know you and was able to spend time with you as a part of my life. I only wish we had been given longer. I know you are now pain free, running and walking without a limp, and enjoying yourself standing at the side of our Lord and Savior.

I grew up in the same small town with Kris, we played baseball together in high school and went to OIT together. He was always positive with a smile on his face. Rest in peace my friend,

Kris we never had a chance to see each other alot before the miles seperated our families. But I am so glad Carol and you found each other and you both had such beautiful children together that will bless this world for a long time. You will be eternally missed by all that knew you.

Carol , Nathan, Brianna, and Justin,
It's been a long time, but thought of you and your family still are fresh in my heart. Sunday I drove past the old house, and wondered how you are doing. May you be at peace and know that Kris is in a better place. Our love and prayers headed your way. Love you all, Chris, Melisa, Christine, Sam and Jon Hovey.

Kris,
You fought a valiant fight and along the way touched so many. Your guidance went well past the Help Desk giving us a role model on how to handle life's most difficult challenges. You are, and will forever be, sorely missed.
Maybe you can get finally get something done about the Kings with the big guy upstairs!

Kris ~ rest in peace. It was a joy working with you at Waste Connections. Something's you never forget, the one for me was; you on the phone with field employee's and a smile on your face and the most famous signature sentence of "it's Kris with a K" :-)
You are truly loved by everyone and will be missed.

I worked with Kris at the WCI corporate offices in Folsom for almost six years. He and I were among the 'early birds' at work. He was always upbeat no matter what was going wrong. He will be sorely missed.

Kris you will be so sorely missed. You were the consummate "Servent Leader" for Waste Connections demonstrated by helping so many others on a daily basis. You have helped me countless times over the years with my computer issues too. I was privlidged to work with you. We always joked with each other, and you brightend my day each time I saw you. I was honored to be lucky enough to sit by you at our annual meeting in San Diego at the beautiful beachside hotel enjoying the sunshine at the back of the meeting room and the gorgeous view of the ocean and the clear blue skies. And I was proud to be able to have you meet my wife there who was instantly positively impressed with you. Your time seems to have come too soon for reasons we may not understand, but the quality of life you shared with others will never be forgotten.
