Chris was probably the smartest person I knew. I took chemistry with him but that is just what got our friendship started. Not only did he always have a smile on his face, he was always in a good mood and happy even at 7 in the morning haha. He was so smart and he had such a long and bright future, may his soul rest in peace and may his family heal in private

On Memorial Day, Chris was working a double and asked me to swap cuts so he could go take a nap for an hour in his car. His deal to me in return is he would get me the coffee he always saw me drinking. I never did get my coffee, but at least he got some rest before the rest of his very long shift.

Something I learned from him is to never work 3 doubles back to back, he was so miserable those days. But his work ethic to even think of doing that is motivating itself

Whiskey Kitchen. Not a shift goes by where I don´t think about him. The things he taught me still ring in my head and sometimes i swear i hear him in Whiskey. Every time I clear a large table I try and stack as many cups as I can, it´s my way of honoring him.

I will always remember his attitude towards life. The dreams and goals he was working so hard to achieve. How proud of his car he was. How genuine he was.

I was talking to Chris about music l, and how my first concert was going to be the Red Hot Chili Peppers later in June. He tried to learn about my music taste, although it´s not a very specific range. After he left he sent me and album from Title Fight. I listen to that album on the way to work now.

My favorite memory of Chris is him stacking as many cups as he could. He would not let you help. For him, it was all or nothing. You could wipe the table though.

My first memory with Chris was on Saturday, May 18th, 2024. It was my second day training as a host at whiskey kitchen and he was my trainer. We talked about work, sure, but also life. He asked me about college and high school and i shared my experience. He shared with me his passions and how excited he was to graduate, especially since he was graduating early. My first time ever seeing him he greeted me with the biggest smile.

When i was having a bad day chris listened to my favorite album and told me his favorite songs on it. I loved that he always was interested in listening to something that wasnt his style of music, this meant alot to me.

Chris always made me wanna do better, even when he was his saddest he would always push to be successful and be the best. one of my favorite moments was when i was having a bad day he picked me up and bought me food even though i really didnt want him to pay he always insisted. He talked me through how i was feeling and made me feel not alone and he really showed how much he cared about me and gave me someone to relate to. Chris was one of my favorite people, his smile was contagious and he was always there for me no matter what.
