I am so sorry to hear about the loss we all have recently shared. Reading the kind words that others have written already remind me what made Chris such a great guy to begin with. The reflection of himself that he has left behind on this earth and in our hearts is his most lasting legacy.

I first met Chris when he started working at Brown-Vann with my dad, Art. Chris and I became friends and started hanging out. He always cheered me up when I was having a rough time; he was always there to listen to me. Chris loved life, I never once saw him mad at anyone or anything. I saw Chris that Friday before at M&M and that was the last time I saw him. My heart broke into a million pieces when I was told the news. He really meant the world to me, one of the best friends I've ever had, and he’ll always be my Walkie Bear! I know that God had a greater purpose for him in heaven; I know he'll look after all of us! I'll love you always and we'll never forget you! My prayers and condolences go out to Chris's family, I had the pleasure of meeting a few of his family members, who quickly accepted my best friend Malarie and I like family. I love ya'll, anything you need just call.

Love always,

Jenny Lowes
