Michelle,
So sorry to hear the sad news about Chris. My heart goes out to you for your loss. Whenever you lose someone you love it is one of the most devastating experience's a person can face. Suddenly, everything has changed! But, remembering all the wonderful times you shared will always comfort you. And at times such as this, it really makes us realize what a blessing life is and appreciate those we love. Life is too short! Rely on the God of Love, to sustain you thru your intense sadness. By asking, He will give you the power beyond what is normal to keep going! Others need you! May the love of those around you support you now and in the future.

God bless you CV, you will be sadly missed by all of those that you shared your fishing secrets with. I will never forget the good ol' days of tip-up fishing and musky fishing. My heart goes out to the family and to Michelle. Go in peace my friend, Homer.

I worked with Chris when he first started at Kwik Trip. We were all like family helping eachother through tough times. I have many fond memories of him. To his brothers and sisters, he spoke highly of you. To Michelle, I am sorry you have lost someone so wonderful. Chris, Koontz is going to continue to write, so you have a lot of books to keep reading. Andrea and Scott Modlin
