Carolyn and Don, all of us here at the phone shop extend our deepest sympathies to you. From the moment Chris walked through the door here with his funny stories, quick come backs and of course the inside scoop on every sporting event he was family. We consider ourselves fortunate that such a fine young man passed our way.

Hatter was truly one-of-a-kind. He was as great of a friend as you could ever wish to have. I already miss the "Go Buckeyes, Nice Win" text messages. He was the best storyteller out there and I can't believe I won't hear another. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Chris' friends and family. He will be greatly missed.

Carolyn and Don, I can hardly believe I am writing this to you both. My heart and all my prayers, as well as Lew and Jimmy and Julie, go to you and your family. As you and I believe, God has a plan that we may not know. May your trust and love and your wonderful memories bring you peace and comfort. I ran the Marathon yesterday in Chris' name. When it got rough, he kept me going. You and your family are an inspiration to us all. Love and bless you, Ann, Lew, Jimmy and Julie

I am so sorry to hear about your son. I did not know Chris but I worked with P.D. at Pleasant Valley Middle School. If Chris was anything like P.D.,he brought a lot of joy to people on this earth and now will bring joy to Heaven. May you and Sharon remember the memories which are in your heart forever.

I will never forget you, Katie and I will always cherish the time we shared together. We want to send our regards to all of his family and friends.

Had a brief conversation with Chris the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I now regret I didnt ramble on like I usually do, not knowing it would be the last time we spoke. Chris was a great guy that will be missed by many. The best Mohawk rep I have ever had...hard worker and a true partner in the business...rest in peace my friend !

Chris was a co-worker of mine at Mohawk and there is no one who lived life more fully than this incredibly giving, caring and fun loving person. Chris will be sadly missed as a friend, confidant and co-worker. I believe that Chris would want us to celebrate the life that he lived and embraced. May God and memories bring comfort to his family.

Chris was such a good person and always full of energy and life. I will always remember his passion for Florida State, NASCAR and all Kansas sports...he was passionate about them all. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we missed Chris at our annual gathering of friends before the holiday...I now deeply regret the fact that we didn't have the chance to have one more beer together and debate the merits of Kansas Basketball!

Rest in peace Chris...you will be missed. My deepest sympathy to your entire family....
