I am so heart broken that Christy died of a debilatating disease. He was the best dancer Rose High had ever seen. He was a good friend to many and will surely be missed by old and new friends. Glad to be one to know him. Helen Flanagan Cayton

Becky and I are saddened by Chris' illness and death. During high school he was a close friend. He was in our wedding in 1970. Unfortunately, as is so common, we also lost contact with him. He was a good man. When we knew him he always had a smile on his face and a positive outlook. He was always trying to improve his skills as a chef and business man! Our condolences to his family with his passing!

I have so many fond memories of Christy from Junior High School and Rose High School. We lost touch after that except for a very brief time at Greenville Country Club when he was chef there. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family as you grieve your loss. But, he is in a better place now, and one day you will all be reunited. God bless all of you.

The spirit of an entrepreneur
Soars higher than ever before
A kind smile a gentle laugh
A solid relationship that guarantees life ever last
Belief in dreams
Hard work to make it all true
Peace now knowing your true dreams were fulfilled
And will forever continue to bloom.
