Mr.Loe was the best music teacher on earth. He always was kind and nice. when I was in 1st grade he was so nice. when my first grade teacher Ms.Holden told my class that he had passed on I was so sad. I was one of the students at Eva.G Simmons elementary school.i wish he did not have leukemia. he had a lot of substitute teacher. I would do anything for him to come back. when ever I go to music class I think of Mr.Loe. i think everyone that knows him misses him really really really much.
sincerely Evan Slothower from eva g simmons elementary school.

It's been many years since I've seen Chris or his family. He will always hold a place in my heart as a boyhood friend. I have you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I still find it so hard to believe that Chris is gone. What a wonderful man. I know that our family can never forget him. He left an inspiring mark on me personally in my teaching career and I just can't imagine having been as successful without his influence. Even when I moved to Alaska, he was willing and happy to help me out when I called upon him. This life will not be the same without him but I feel so blessed to have experienced him in my life! God bless Chris and his family. We love you all! ~Katie,Scott, Bubba & Shawn Campbell

Deepest sympathy from the Rebrovich family. Chris was an inspiration to many.
I will always remember his infectious ever present smile during his high school days.
I will cherish the memories along the sidelines with Bob and Mugs while we watched the Locos play football out in the cold. For now, they play the cold ones in the FargoDome.
May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Andrea and the children. Your journey to carry out Chris's memory with your children will be difficult. My sympathy to his mother Mugs. We watched Chris grow up just down the street. May the Almight God Bless You Forever and keep you near.

Chris you were and will always remain an inspiration to me .you were as positive a person as I have ever known and remained that way thru the worst God had to offer.I can only hope one day i will know the kind of peace and confidence necessary to live life like you did.I cannot claim to have been best friends with you, Only because you have so many and I never learned the importance. but you always made me feel like one and I will truly miss you like one.I can't begin to imagine what your family is going thru because I cannot even think of their loss without tears coming every time. I am so sorry

It is with heavy hearts that we have to say goodbye. Andrea and Chris were our family while we spent our time in Vegas. Their friendship and laughter got us through some tough times. Chris will be truly missed. He was an outstanding pillar of character and a brilliant musician. Until we all meet again...

The people we meet create ripples in our lives; like a drop of water hitting the surface of a calm lake. Chris's gentle and giving nature when taken into context with his battle demonstrated that he was a man wise beyond his years; full of grace, fortitude and hope.
The ripples he created in my life are a gift of which I am most grateful. I am a better person for having known him. He is missed, but never forgotten.

I remember the first time I met Chris, he was walking out of his house and looked at Robin and I and just gave us his signature smile. That smile lit up the neighborhood. Our deepest sympathies go out to the whole Loe family.

Mr. Loe was my music teacher and he was my favorite teacher out of all my specials. He was funny and he used to tell a lot of jokes. I could tell he loved music. I looked up to him and whenever I needed help at recess he was always there.
I will miss him and whenever I think of him I will think of music and humor.
Love,

Chris has always been an amazing and inspiring person to all of us that had the priviledge of helping him with his treatments and getting to know him and Andrea in the process. He was always amazingly positive the entire time, through very tough circumstances and Andea was ALWAYS there, right by his side, his angel. We have been devastated by the sudden turn of events that lead to his loss and he will be greatly missed. He is irreplaceable and much loved by all who knew him.

Although I only met Chris (and the whole family) once, it was a memberable day....Chris and Andrea's vow renewals. I feel so honored to have been witness to that special day. I will not forget that day nor the family love and support that you all have. My deepest sympathies to you all. He will be missed.

Chris and I met at Elizondo. He showed me how special a music teacher can be. My kids loved going to music, and he enjoyed having them (even the "special" ones). He showed them how great music can be, and my kids always asked if it was time for music. Chris and I were never really close friends, but his smile always lit up a room. People would always flock to sit near him just because of who he was and how he presented himself. He will be missed. Lots of love and prayer to the Loe family.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris during his time at Elizondo. He always had a positive attitude and a smile on his face. My prayers go out to his family that he leaves behind. I know his children will grow up to know what a strong and courageous man he was. He left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Chris touched so many lives, both old and young. His smile would light up a room and his stories would always bring a smile to my face He was in all senses a "Superman". I know that I will miss him and the world seems a little dimmer without Chris in it. My heart goes out to his family in this time of grief.

I've never seen anyone happier than the day Chris told Me that he was going on a date with Andrea...until the day they got engaged. He may have looked happier that day. Chris was a great friend, and one of the most amazing people I have known. I'll always cherish my memories of playing in a band, going to class, and just hanging out with him. He had a knack for always saying and doing the right thing...and always in the funniest ways. I'll miss him.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Chris. He was a loving and caring husband and father who adored Andrea and their kids. Though he may no longer be here physically, I know he will be guiding and loving you all from above. May you feel all the love and support being sent to you by so many people. Love and hugs always.

Chris you fought a brave fight! Everytime I saw you, you always had a smile on your face. When most people would have given up, you and Andrea fought harder. My wish for you is that you are having a glorious reunion with your dad. I hope you are looking down on your family knowing that you and Andrea have given your kids a great foundation to go through life. Andrea, you are on the top of my list as one the bravest and strongest people I know! Sending love to you and your family.

Words can not express how much Chris was loved and how greatly he is missed. He was one of the kindest, most loving men I have ever known. Family meant everything to him and he was so proud of his wonderful family and loved them deeply. I am honored to have had him in my life for an all too brief time and I will forever treasure every moment I was able to spend with him. My love and prayers to his family.

Chris was an amazing person. I am so blessed to have known him. I'm very thankful I accepted the job over the phone to be an itinerant in Las Vegas. I didn't know exactly what that meant at the time. I now know it was God giving me the foundation and friendship I needed in Las Vegas. Andrea, Zian, and Mylee my prayers are with you. Peace and comfort in The Lord. Love you!

I've never met Chris, but he sent me a letter once, he made picks for my band... he was always soo encouraging. He truly inspired me, inspired me to enjoy life, to not get caught up on the small things. His family is soo strong and i pray for them now. Maybe because I'm a new(er) dad, I don't know what it is but I feel like my brother has passed. An older brother who passed on wisdom, good times and funny stories (spandex and long hair ). I think of how many lives Chris touched, he was a friend, father, husband and a teacher. What a man! Chris represents everything great in this family we call Spector, and I will truly miss him

I've known Chris since kindergarten and it is hard to say what I will miss most about him. There are so many important moments growing up that include him. He was always there to make us laugh, but was always caring and compassionate. One of the many things I loved about him was how he so openly loved and adored his family. He was a very good man who will never forget.

My deepest sympathies to Chris's family. Chris to me was the one person who always had a way of keeping things in perspective while having the time of his life. He was wise beyond his years. I will forever cherish the memories of him playing bass in the many venues in which he and his band mates worked.

This sums it up on how I feel.
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
You're now at peaceful rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Thanks for the inspiration that you will continue to give.

I would see Chris at the opening in-services at our school district and I knew he was a wonderful teacher. Our Las Vegas group of music teachers will miss him dearly. He was always so quick to thank someone or be kind to someone for the training he received. My prayer is for healing and peace for the Loe family.

I will never forget Chris. I did not meet him until our Senior year in high school at Dilworth HS. I enjoyed listening to him play on stage at the Flyin J. He fought a huge battle and now he is another special gaurdian angel above. He will always look after us, especially his family.

I didn't know Chris all that well and don't really know the family but I did have the pleasure of meeting his sister Chantale this last summer,i felt kindness and a caring nature about her and Chris was that way as well from what I remember. He dated my sister many years ago but I do remember that enthusiasm he always had,a real go getter id say. Heck of a guitar player and I thought he sang well also. My heart aches for the family left behind,you all will be in my prayers to find peace and only remember the warmth he brought to peoples lives. May God be with you and peace with your family. My deepest condolences,Kirk Berge

My Dear Chantale (&Mugs),
This is, without a doubt, the most difficult guestbook I have ever signed. I am honored to have shared a laugh or two and to learn all about Christopher, through your eyes. You won't be alone in your sorrow. I send you my most heart felt and deepest sympathies, with a hope and a wish for you all to find some solace that he brought joy to so many. Forever in my prayers, Vicky Ley(Jani's Sister) *I hope Chris and Jani are together making their Music heard
