Chris and his family would join us at my Grandmothers house for gathers when we were kids and he always had a smile. I just remember him being happy as a kid.

Chris's laugh was very distinct and a smile that was contagious. Just his presence was calm and chilled with his ball cap on. He will be missed.

I am overwhelmed with grief and sadness as I write my fondest memory of Christopher. It was always his smile for me and I often wondered if he ever had a bad day. I never saw him not smiling in the hallways of Salem High, out on the track, etc.
Rest In Greatness Christopher

I only knew Chris for a short time with our daughters playing basketball together. His smile was infectious and his drive to see our children succeed in b-ball is something I will always remember and treasure about Chris. I send my deepest condolences for the family, I pray that Chris is in heaven and watching down on his children.

Chris was very driven and always did the best he could to provide for his wife and kids. I always thought he worked too hard and was pretty serious for the most part, but then he would surprise me with that flashy white smile of his.
He had a fun side even though he might not have expressed it too much.
I hope his soul is in eternal bliss with our creator.

A true and dear friend. Not many people in life you have that you know, for many years and never had an argument with that was Chris. We laughed. We had some of the best of times in the 28 years that I got to have with him like many others we were blessed with his presence. I pray that God keeps him in his memory and I see him again. Rest in peace bro I love you, I may God be with your wife and kids? It was a pleasure knowing you.
