Chris and Jan have been a very large part of our lives for as long as we have lived in St. Augustine. The memories are many, cherished, and will forever be a part of us. We miss him but know he is among friends and family and he is always watching out for us that remain here. We mourn the loss but, celebrate the man and his legacy. Forever in our hearts and minds. We love you dearly and promise to always be here for Jan, no matter what. Rest in peace our brother. May you ride in peace through eternity with sunny blue skies, the wind at your back, and that beautiful smile on your face. We love you.
