Chris, you are my bruddah. I always looked up to you and always will till the day I die. You will never be forgotten. You were such an inspiration that I will never lose sight of. I love you, Chris, your brother, William.

Chris was a member of our volunteer fire department in Dripping Springs, and we all used to have such fun together. We nicknamed him "Ozone" because sometimes he would get so excited about going on a fire call that he would do spacey things like leave his car running when he got to the fire station! A couple of our members are coming down to the memorial service today to pay our respects. Chris always brought a smile to my face - he was a good friend and will be missed. Rest in peace, Ozone :-)

Chris, I will always remember the way we use to laugh at our own jokes, the fun we had together and the long talks on the phone. I will miss the sound of your voice, whenever you called me, or when we saw each other; "Hey Beydo!" I miss you and love you Chris. Now you and Dad are Sailing among the clouds together, the way it use to be in life at the lake. Love, Beydo
