Dear Linda, Lindsay, Jerry and Zach,
I want to send out my condolences of a tragic loss. He was my best friend and a wonderful boyfriend. Not only to your family,but to his son whom he's never met. We recieved results 10 days after his death. I don't know how to go on about this, it just hurts so bad. His son was only 7 1/2 months when he passed away. As days go on I see Chris in Seth everyday. He never had a chance to even know his son. If there could have been one last wish, it would be for him to meet his son for the first time of Seth's life. Chris will be a part of my life forever and as his mother stated that his spirit will live on in his little son. To the rest of the Stinner family, Linda has my personal information and if you wish to contact me about your nephew, cousin, or grandson please do so. That's all we have left of Chris other than the memeories he left behind. Once again i'm sorry. Andrea if you read this please call me and as for the rest of the family. With much love and sympathy.

He was such an inspiration to us in so many ways, and the things he taught us about life and living will remain with us forever.

Dear Stinner family,
I have always appreciated the relationship that I shared with your sons Zach and Christian. No words can express the deep sense of loss that I feel losing one of my close high school friends. The only thing I can think of doing is to keep living and loving life as I know Christian would have and be determined to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. I want to keep this message short because sometimes less words mean more. Please know that me and my family would like to share our deepest condolences and will be in touch soon.
Sincerely,
Keith Avery

Chris was one of the sweetest guys I have ever met. I have so many wonderful memories of him. We would often meet to cram for a psychology or german test over coffee. Getting to know Chris during my last two years at Akron was wonderful. He had a brilliant mind and a compassionate soul. He is one of my dearest friends and he will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with the Stinner family during this difficult time.

I wish to express my profound sympathy for your loss. I first met Christian as a customer at GNC where I manage. Over the course of monthly supplements, we developed a friendship that I will truly miss. His presence always made my day a little more bright; no small task when working in retail. Please be assured of my prayers for your healing and Christian's eternal repose. I will offer a Mass in his name. With affection and gratitude for the short time we shared, I remain priveledged to have shared many conversations with such a fine man.

I met Chris while working at Pet Supplies Plus in Fairlawn. He was always smiling and just making the work day go alot easier. He was an angel on Earth with how he helped people and treated them. He will be missed by many, as he was loved by almost everyone he met. I am honored to say that he was a good friend and I'll miss him alot. My deepest sympathy to the Stinner Family and all other friends. God Bless.
