Chris was a great mentor to me. He was one of the first people I met at BE. I still cannot believe that he is gone. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. I am praying for peace and comfort to his family during this sad time.

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel with his passing. I am very sorry for your loss.
While I did not know Chris as well as others, he had a very calming demeanor and I always enjoyed talking to him. He was such a caring and nice man.
Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
