I knew Chris for quite a few years when he was going with my daughter Jennifer. My husband and myself loved Chris and opened our hearts and home to him.

He will always be in our memories as that loving, always smiling young man that we thought of more like family.

We share your sorrow and hope that the days ahead will be shared with the thoughts of the good times and the love Chris gave so freely to us all. He will be dearly missed.

Love,
Barbara, Leighton Porter
