Julie, You don't know me and I did not know Chris, however I know your Mom from her joining our Aerobic swimming group at Big Bass Lake. We heard so much about you and Chris when the wedding was being planned and then when he became ill Karen Goodhardt kept us informed. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you, your Mom and Chris's family.

On behalf of the Glenville State Athletic Department we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the friends and family of Chris Nunn. He was a true Warrior and Pioneer like the teams in which he played. Chris was intelligent, caring and was a tough guy with a soft heart for others. The GSC Football family has lost a special lineman and fellow man. Our prayers for comfort are with all who knew Chris.

I was honored to meet this gentle giant through my husband and the game they loved so much, indoor football. Besides being an amazing athlete, Chris was so intelligent, funny and always had a kind word for me to make me feel welcome.
Julie, you are lucky to have the love of such a gentleman, cherish your memories forever. My prayers go out to you and your family for healing, may God's peace fill your hearts today and always.

I have been sitting and staring at this entry for the past few minutes...not understanding how this is real. I had many conversations with Chris about heavy lifting and heavy music....I always was glad to see him in the gym. He was one of the best guys I had a chance to be around. My condolences to his family and especially to his wonderful wife Julie.
