Chris was a pleasure to know, his easy smile and caring manner made us all feel special to him. It is with great regret that I can't be there with you today because of illness and distance. I am praying and will continue to do so. My heart is truly broken for you all that lived with the glow of Chris' light. He will live in your hearts until you see him again. What a celebration that will be. My love to you all.

Chris will be greatly missed at OECI Corp. He worked with us a little over a year and quickly earned the nickname Preacher Man. He was bold to tell you he loved Jesus.
He was a hard worker and a pleasure to be around. Always a smile and never complained. Our deepest condolences to the family.
