I´m sorry I missed the announcement for the viewing since I´m unable to attend the services tomorrow.
I met Chris in my early HS years. Our families were friends, as were we. After we graduated, we spent the first year of college as roommates. As life does, our careers took us in different directions but whenever we crossed paths, we always had a laugh and some great memories to share. He was great friend and his time here with us was way too short. Chris will be missed and our thoughts and prayers are with his family with this devastating loss. God gained a good one ... until we meet again.
