It´s now 2022 and the void you left in my life still is there. I still have great memories of us at TimeOut and Boot Country, all the late night Tekken and MK battles. Your friendship is something that I will always remember. Keep a token ready for me because we will get to play another game one day soon up above. You are my brother from another mother.

To the Family and Friends of Kris,

I have recently learned of Kris' passing and am overwhelmed with a heavy heart. I had the pleasure of working with him at GEICO and he was such a gentle and caring person. Kris was a very respectful young man with a peaceful spirit, one that would always make you proud to be connected with him. I will miss his smile and attitude!

May you find peace in the precious memories you'll always carry in your hearts!!

Mr. & Mrs. Harry Durham,

My prayers and sympathy are with you and family, we didn't know Stephen (Kris) personal, but we grew up with his father and siblings in the Unionville neighborhood off of Pio Nono Ave. Steve we are so sorry to learn of the passing of your son, as parents we never think of our Kids going before us, but God has a plan for all of us so keep believing that he doesn't make mistake and he will be with up in the dark hour and the light.
Prayer is the answer!

My heart goes out to the Durham family during this time of sadness . I knew Kris from MDS, Nikki and I are best friends. He was a beautiful person and had a wonderful spirit. If you had not seen him in years and ran into him, he greeted you with the biggest and warmest smile and hug and it was as if you saw each other just the other day.

Heaven is smiling and rejoicing now because it has gained another angel.

Please know you are in all of our thoughts and prayers.
