Didn't get the chance to get to know you personally, but I remember always seeing you around many of my other friends at parties and events. Thinking about it, you were always smiling. There was something about your smile though, and how your beauty mark complimented your face so well. You're smile was infectious man, jus an ear to ear smile. I find solace in knowing that I can still remember your smile. I wish I could've known you better Chris. Rest easy in Heaven my friend.

Carlos,There have been so many times when you sat and listened to me and lent me your shoulder to cry on. You didn't offer advice or comment on my woes; you just let me talk endlessly until I either exhausted myself or somehow figured out a solution. Your very presence was the solace I needed, and that is what I would like to give you. your brother always

Carlos, Maria, and Junior, my deepest sympathies for the loss of your sweet son. I knew Chris while he was in band at GHS with my daughter. He ALWAYS made me smile! I gave him "extra helpings" of food every time we fed them before a game or gave him extra Popsicles during really hot practices. He always hugged me and said thank you. He called me Momma V! What a beautiful soul he had. I will think of him always and I pray for all of you to find healing in every positive thought that is being sent your way. May you find peace and strength in each other and in the beautiful memories you have of Chris.

Jesus Crist gave us a new Commandment - Love each other the way I have love you. It is the legacy of Christopher and all the other victims, that we must love each other the way Crist loved us.
Jesus Cristo nos dio un mandamiento nuevo - Amarnos los unos a los otros de la misma forma que el nos ama. Este es el legado de Christopher y todas las otras victimas que nos amemos de la misma forma que Cristo nos ama.

We are so sorry for your loss of this sweet man. Although we never met Christopher, it is very evident what a kind spirited precious soul he was to everyone that crossed his path.

We can never know why such tragic things happen to young people. We can only look to God to guide us through the unbelievable heart break. I did not know Christopher or his family. When they began to read the names of the victims that did not make it through this devastating attack, that is when I heard Christopher's name and that he lived maybe a mile from us. With a heavy heart I wish your family strength and faith and love from all over the world.

I met Christopher about a month ago at training for Chase. I told him I loved his name because that is my son's name. We started talking about dancing. He told me the difference between salsa styles. That helped me because I teach Zumba. I also remember him saying how he travels to different dancing shows because that's what he loves. Although we only met that one day, he made a positive impact in my life. I will always remember him as a respectful young man full of life. Thank you for your positive energy.

I hope your dancing freely in heaven looking down on your family. My deepest condolences to your family...

Chris and I worked together for a year at the Stadium/Dale Mabry & Spruce branch. We actually started with Chase together on the very same week. Me as a banker and him as a teller. I remember glancing over my computer as I took my initial training and seeing him taking his and wondering who the quiet guy with glasses was over there in the corner. He turned out to be a great fellow employee and soon flourished into his position. Everyone loved him. He was just that type of person. I always remember him wearing his bow tie with his Chase uniform. He made it look good. He was also a dancer and, as a musician myself, I was always asking him to show me YouTubes of his dancing. He was good at it. That first year with Chase was very special to me and he was an important part of those special memories. As I look at his picture as I type this, am reminded of how truly fragile life is and how we must live each moment as if it was our last. Chris certainly did that. Although his life was cut short, we lived it fully and that is evidenced on the outpouring of love from his many friends. My prayers are with Chris' family, that God will be their Peace, Strength, Comfort, and Ever Present Help during this time of incredible sorrow.
