Parsons Family,

I'm very sorry for your loss. Chris was one of the main people encouraging me to join SAE back during our freshman year at Mizzou and he was always a great influence to me. Living with him the following year, I got to know how truly spectacular a person he was. My thoughts are with your family and I can say he will be missed.

My family's lake house is a few doors down from the Parsons'. I met Chris one summer at the annual Beach Blast, where my favorite memory of him was when he taught me how to dance to "Wobble".

My deepest sympathy and prayers to the Parsons family.

Mike, Kristie and family, I am so sorry for the loss of Chris. I never met your sweet Chris but I know/knew many a Parson's boys and love and respect them all. I'm sure Chris was no different as he was raised a Parsons man. These are unconscionable times and when I lost my brother, John, I found peace in this: "To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy" - Jude 24. May God enjoy the beautiful company of your Chris as he has been received WITHOUT FAULT AND WITH GREAT JOY. You are in my prayers...

Dearest Ashley, James and family,
The thought of your sorrow makes our hearts ache; please remember though you may feel a mess of emotions, saddness, disbelief, and anger just to name a few, know you will someday get a break; though you will never get over it , you will learn to live with it and find ways to fill your heart, Christopher was a delightful brother/brother in law to you both and would want you to look back at the good times and smile and laugh, I know that probably won't happen today, tomorrow or the next, but i assure you the day will come when you know in your heart he is in a better place, I pray that Christopher sends you signs that he is okay and at peace, when the sun rises may you remember his smile and kind words he shared, when the wind blows may you remember all the wonderful vacations of wind blowing through your hair on the boat or down the ski slopes, when you make new footprints in the sand know he is walking right their beside you, when your wrapped snug in a blanket remember all of his hugs and how much he loves you, though he may not be here in person his love and memories will never fade, you will constantly ask why as the time came too soon but please know God has given him wings and he is souring through heaven watching from above. We love you both so much and cherish each moment we get to share. Your in our thoughts and prayers. Love always and forever, Kevin, Jennifer and Bailey Meyer
