Chris' stepfather Hank and I spread Chris' ashes on his 41st birthday on a beautiful Tennessee mountain and waterfalls. His earthly body flew with the angels through the trees and clear cool water. We shall meet again my son. I love and miss you so. Your Mom

Chris will always be remembered for his love of old cars, loud music, computer savey and sense of humor. Even in his never ending paint these last few years he always tried to get us to laugh. He was generous, kind hearted and loved the Lord. He was a good boy and a fine man. He is happy now with his Lord, his dad, his grandparents and his long time friend Ted. I will miss him so until we meet again.

Such a short time we spent in each others lives - minor characters actually, more connected to our "at-that-time" spouses. Both of us moved on to other roles, shape shifting (literally), choosing other definitive characters & stages. Only connected by what we shared on Facebook the last 6+ years. Always kind, always intelligent, so genuine. A true, one-of-a-kind man. Thank you for sharing your light.
