I met Chris when I was working on the north slope. He had a way of making you feel welcome and safe. I enjoyed talking with him and found myself looking forward to seeing him during my break because I knew he would walk into the room with a sweet grin on his face and things were gonna be ok. He was a beautiful soul and is missed dearly.

Chris you are a one in a million. You made me laugh and you had a heart of gold. No one can come close to your sense of humor. I'm gonna miss our sit downs and talks. I'm just gonna miss you. Love you more than you will ever know. I know you are watching us and walking with Jesus. Love you Aunt Cheryl.

Dear sweet Corrina, I am so sad to learn of your dear Chris' passing. I watched the personalized service you had for him and was impressed by the memories of his friends and your family. Monica's comments are true. Let your friends and family help you and love you. I am honored to have been a neighbor to your family. With Love, Saundra Poulsen

I didn't know Chris as well as I would have like to but I knew his sweet mom, Corinna, very well! Corinna was such a especially sweet lady that I am sure her son would have followed her example. I am saddened that the family has lost a loved one but I am thankful he no longer suffers and is playing away on his drums in Heaven. And I am betting that his grandma Clella is enjoying his company! I love you all and God bless and comfort you!
