Oh Cruz, I cannot believe still that you died. I hope when you get to heaven federal be waiting for you. I still can´t believe that you and him both died and me and Christine are still here. I will say that both your deaths impacted our lives. I hope you found the peace in death that you did not find in life, I think about you often and pray for you both for the short time that I did do you, I enjoyed your smile your company, watching my best friend fun loving my husband`s best friend was one of the most beautiful things I ever seen in my life. I know you are with Fred. It is laughing and going over old times like the both you said brothers from another mother, rest in peace Chris you were loved and you were missed

Chris and I were born a couple days apart at Jersey Shore and our mothers shared a room after. We used to joke that we may have been switched at birth. Chris was the most down to earth person I think I knew. He will be missed.

I met Chris when I moved to NJ from TX years ago. He loved that I was from SRV's home state. Chris took me to my first 311 show at the Stone Pony. I rode on the back of his motorcycle in the snow to see Jewel at a small club in Long Branch. We discovered the music of Jeff Buckley together. I loved watching him as the front man of his band. We shared a love for music and each other. Chris has always had a special place in my heart, and always will. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. His life is definitely one worth celebrating.

Chris was an amazing man. We were friends for countless years and no matter how much time passed when we spoke it was like no time had passed at all. He was a phenomenal musician and he could bring laughter at the drop of a hat. My daughters and grandson adored him. Sending love and prayers to Tracey and his pop. Fly high Chris.
