To Gwen, Dominique, Chrissy, Shawn, Johnny and all the family. I'm proud of the little boy I watched grow as I came to get my hair done by his Mom. So respectful, so loving, happy, Godly presence in him, family man, and friendly. Room light up with his smile. Soft spoken and confidant. He had everything and lived a good life. Loved his family and built a life with his new wife. So proud of the man I observed him to become. I am happy he lived such a fulfilling life with all he touched. He was the best son, best brother, best uncle, best cousin, best grandson, best nephew, best friend and very best husband to his wife Dominique. God time is not in our control. He allowed Christopher to set is fondation and than leave now to continue his journey for eternal rest and peace. Gone too soon, but forever proud to have known him. Look at God!
