My best friend since age 12...so many memories and stories I could tell. One of a kind with a heart of gold that never changed regardless of what life threw at him. Was so glad when you came home, only wished I knew it was for such a short time...miss and love you Brother!

He helped me find my brother that was gone for 10 years. I am thankful to have known him. He helped me not to worry and moving forward. He gave me inspiration but not give up. Thx to his family because he got something amazing from all of you. Thankyou. Prayers to his family. Blessed be

The guy had a good heart and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. And would always be there to put you in your place if needed it, then laugh with you about it after. Everybody has a rough patch in life sometimes but chris would show you how you become a better person each time you break out of that hole. Was apart of a breed of people they dont make no more., goodbye you fukr. Rest easy..

He did handstands on my porch rails... Rode a unicycle... and occasionally set himself on fire... he had no fear... he would prank call the FBI for fun... he would hold everyone's head up when they couldn't hold themselves up...He will always be loved and never be forgotten..

I never knew him as Chris, I knew him as Hubcap. Of all the Bo´s, tramps, riders and folks I´ve met on the road - Hubcap was like no other. Would call me just to talk to me about where I was in life, how things were going in my growth & update me on his. I hope I always remember his sense of joy he shared with me while spending time together. Love ya Hubcap. My condolences to anyone his passing will impact.
