Hey dad! I haven’t said much on here in a while and I’m so sorry for that. I miss you so much everyday. I always wonder what it would be like if you were still here. You were my best friend and I will always remember that. I know we will meet again and I cannot wait to give you hugs and just talk. I love you forever❤

Hi dad, I know that people don't use this a lot anymore but it sorta feels like closure I guess. I miss you so much! I wish you a happy birthday! I know your probably eating an infinite amount of ice-cream! I have vague memories of you. I get a little flustered I guess when people say I look like you because they got the advantage of getting to know you unlike myself. I wish I could bring you back. I think everyone does!! I promise I won't let my praying knees get lazy. I talk to you a lot. I miss and love you. You truly were a super hero.

Missing you today and always. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You have been in my dreams so much this week and today Brayden asked about you out of the blue as if you were here with us. It made me smile, feel comforted, and cry at the same time. Sure wish you could've met him and Carter. I love you.

Chris, I know I havent seen you or spoken to you in some time. I had a dream about you, about 6 months ago. I googled your name and found you had passed. I am so sorry for you family, your wife, and daughter. You will forever be a part of my memories as a child/teenager. I still think about you at times and wish your family well. I don't know what happened, but I know you are now safe and at peace.

I miss you so much Chris. I honestly think about you everyday, i cant believe its been 4 in a half years since we have seen your face or heard your voice. I Had a Little boy on September 14th,2010. His name is Brody Ellis McNabb. I wish you were here to hold him and listen to his laugh and feel him grasp your neck for comfort!He has our dimples! I tell him about his Uncle Chris all the time and will continue to caring on storys as he grows up. I had him with an amazing girl, Lea Taylor Moffatt, We have been going on 2 in a half years now. she's great you would have liked her.We have a little house of our own were renting, Brent Lewis is our land lord, he said yall went to school together.but yeah She slowed me down alot and made me realize what kind of path i was going down. Ever since we found out she was pregnant i started working, my first job was at classy. I went up there and told Alan about my situation and he started me the next day, i worked there for about 3 months, then i went on to American LubeFast and worked as their Pitman changing oil for about 3 weeks. They were okay, but i wanted to make more money so i talked around and finally got on with Performance Contractors out there at Chevron Refinery. I was with them for about 7-8 months working as a laborer. Then i Got rolled over with Atlantic Scaffolding as a Laborer/Helper for about 5 months/till october of 2010. Then when i got laid-off, i was unemployed till june of this year. I work for DG's Foundations now. We do concrete, and all sorts of other stuff. right now were building Dr. Sidiqiues new office. Its and okay job, i applied for my TWIC card last tuesday, they said it takes up to 1-8 weeks, depends on what your background looks like, but im clean as a wistle so hopefully it comes soon, cause im wanting to go back out there to chevron, they have a new project starting and the money is good. Chris i wish you were here at times like these, to bring the faamily back together. you were always good at keeping us together and keeping us happy. Me and laura are gong through rough spots right now and i hope we work through it cause we are family and we need eachother. Laura is expecting a little boy soon, Robert Lane Foreman. The 4D ultrasounds looks like he has my nose.I know your looking down on us and smiling, its just so hard for us to look up and do the the same. but i know your safe. Theres no doubt in my mind, i know you'll keep us safe. I just wish you could reply. Theres not enough words to explain how much i love and miss you Chris! Take Care of yourself and give Kaitlin and grandpa a kiss and hug for me.You are always and always will be in my heart. You'll always be my Superman!

Sincerely, Your Little Brother,

Wilson

MERRY CHRISTMAS! We missed your smile, jokes, dimples, and blue eyes. Addison and I enjoyed our first Christmas morning on our own. We are proud of this, but also saddened by the whole Holiday thing. We share our memories, fears, and questions all the time. Addison is quite a little talker. :) We love you and hold your memory close to our hearts.

As the holidays approach, I tend to think of all of the ones I was lucky enough to have spent with you. Some days that seems like forever ago but those memories always bring a smile to my heart.

I don't have a Facebook, but Liz showed me some pictures that someone posted of you and I and some were of you and I and others. Can't believe it's been 4 years, my brother. We miss you.

Dawn McNabb

September 29, 2010

This week has been more difficult than most. Addison and I have been talking more and more about how much we miss you. She is so intelligent and that makes it hard to bypass anything in conversations with her. I feel that 4 years seem like an eternity and yet sometimes I feel like you were just here with us. I love you and love sharing memories & stories with Addy. We have been visiting the
beach alot and star gazing..; )

February 21, 2010

Miss ya - memories make me smile.

Some days seem to go on forever, and for some reason today seems that way. I feel like a tidalwave of emotion is hitting over and over out of nowhere. I miss you. I miss our life and the laughter that we shared. I miss the special milestones that we got to share together as a family. I know you are with us daily, but today it feels like ages since you were here. I love you !

3 long years without you here....feels like longer. We miss you so much, Chris. I talk about you all the time to Brayden. I wish you could've met him. You two look very similar like when you were a baby. (he's less chunky though..ha ha) Addison is growing up!! She is so tall and beautiful. (and super smart) You would be so proud. We love you, Chris. Please keep us all safe.

I miss you so much Chris. Somedays are easier than others. Ive not had too many easy days lately. I wish you were here, so much has happened. Brayden is BEAUTIFUL. When I first saw him all I could think of was you. He really does resemble you in ways. Addison is amazing. She has gotten SO BIG!! She looks more like Dawn everytime I see her but there is no mistaking she is yours! She has perfected the "McNabb Face" Haha. Some of the things she says make me laugh so hard because all i can imagine is what you would have to say to some of it.
Im going to Aprils again soon. I have to ride the plane alone! ahh! lol. I want you to sit with me, ok? I know you will. I miss you so much...
I love you

Well, Chris, baby Brayden is here happy and healthy!! I really wish he could've met his Uncle Chris. He resembles you sometimes... especially in his eyes and facial expressions. Sometimes when I look at him, I think you are staring right back at me. It's kinda strange, but very comforting. I think of all the things that made you so excited when Addison was born and I find myself doing the exact same!! I really miss you...I've been thinking about you so much..I hope you know it. I love you!!

August 28, 2009

Miss ya !

Hey Chris-
It's hard to believe we haven't seen your smile or heard your voice in 2 years. Time is going by so fast. I hope you know how much you are missed and loved. I can feel your love at times and it is so comforting. Chris, Wes needs your love and strength right now. Please help him fight through this. We miss you so much and please keep us all safe.

Chris,
I wanted to post a message yesterday, but as I type this Wesley is fighting to wake up from an accident. I miss you so much and I know you've heard me talking to you the last few days. Life will never be the same without you here, but I do know we have our own angel watching over us and that is comforting for all of us. Please watch over Wes and Jen this weekend has been like living a horrible nightmare all over again. We could really us you pulling some strings for us. We love you and think of you all the time & Addison and I can't possibly send enough hugs and kisses your way!

I have been consumed with saddness for both Addy and I because "it is that time of year." I hope that we can get some quite moments in in the next few weeks, so I can continue to share some of your old belongings and silliness with her! We love you & miss you so much!

Dawn,Addison,and Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. It's sometimes hard at times like these to understand why God takes someone who is so special away from us at the most glorious time of our lives. Everyone has a purpose in life, but we just do not always know what it is. Our lives our planned out for us long before we were ever even born. Maybe the purpose Chris was here on Earth for was to give a meaning to happiness. Although I did not know him well, I do know that happiness is what he brought to everyone around him. His biggest gift of all, Addison, is an extension of himself. She along with your friends and family will help keep the gift of happiness alive. Have faith in knowing that although Chris is always with you in spirit, that you will see him again when you meet our heavenly father above. Chris has already had the wonderful opportunity to sit beside him in heaven. He is now an angel watching over you. He is with you everywhere you go.
Love,
Melodie, Darryl, Shawn, and baby on the way

To Dawn, Mary and Henry,
It saddens us deeply to hear of the great tragedy and loss of Chris. Dawn, you are such a beautiful young lady inside and out. I know this is a very tough time for you but I also know you are a strong individual. I remember when you were going to school, working, dating Chris, and babysitting on the side and still had a smile on your face when I would bring Samantha over for you to babysit. I only met Chris once but I know from Sam and Lauren that he was a delight to be around. We are all stronger than we realize and with the love of God, family, and friends all of you will make it through these tough times. We will keep you in our prayers.

Mom (in-law) Rogers

October 15, 2006

Chris, you have left this world too soon. Know that you will always be in my heart. I will miss all our "talks" & most of all when I watch Top Gun- you will be right by my side. You gave so much to our family. Your smile,laugh and jokes will be missed. Thanks for giving our family the love only you could provide. "Top Gun" I miss you & promise I will always be here for your family.

Nikki Leho

October 14, 2006

Dawn, please know that you are on our minds and in our prayers. We were lucky enough to be able to have witnessed the everyday love between you and Chris. I hope you can find comfort looking at that precious, sweet, beautiul smile of Addison's and remember that Chris left you with the greatest gift he could ever give.

PS remember when Sam would argue with you about Chris being "her boyfriend", not yours? :)

Love,
Nikki, Samantha and Becca

aunt and your maw-maw, and paw-paw`s. I dated your uncle David,and

what i know you are and always will

Chris would have wanted you to do, is stay strong for Addison.

My precious nieces, I know you have received messages and now I will try to tell you what is in my heart. I'm not good at writing what i want to say but here goes. Addison I'm sorry you won't have the pleasure of meeting your father, but anytime you want to look at him just look in the mirror. He said I was his favorite Aunt ,but then again I was his only Aunt on your mothers side. One day I will make you the biggest bowl of fruit salad and no one else wil get any. This is for you and your Dad. Dawn you have shown just how strong a person you are. Just one thing remember you are not alone and will never me. Chris is still looking out for you and Addison and one day when you least expect it you will turn around and their will be this man looking at you and somehow you will know Chris sent him to you and Addison. We love you and will always be here for you. Uncle Dale & Aunt Carol

Chris,
As April said, you were the best brother any of us could ever imagine. You were the "Goof" of our family. No matter the situation you could make everyone laugh. You always made sure to have special time with all of us one on one, and those times will be cherished by all of us. I want to let you know im going back to school, i wish i could see the excitment on your face to know that. I finally straitened up and relized an education is way more important than running the roads. Chris i dont know how to put how much Dawn, Addison, April, Jacob, Jordan, Mom, and I are going to miss you in words. but im sure you know. If I could have one wish it would be to spend one more day with you, but i know that would just leave me wishing for more. I know youll watch over all of us, and help guide us to the right decisions in life. im going to miss all the talks we had about life and the decisons you helped me make. But i know youll be in my heart helping me through it all. I love you more than anything possible,

Dawn and Addison, There are things we can never explain about life and how our lives are mapped out. Chris had a purpose and he left his legacy with you, he may physically not be here but in spirit he is always going to be present. In the short time I knew Chris regardless of his flaws, he is someone I could easily talk with and share a good laugh. Cherish those bright moments you had and keep in mind you both have a great circle of family and friends. We all will miss his presence. All our love is with y'all and if you need anything you know who to call!

I want to let you know you had a very special and loyal son. I am honored to have been his friend for 15 years. If any of you ever need an open ear or a hand with anything don't think twice to call me. I know he would have done the same for me so I'm just going to do the same. April and Dawn I love you both very much and stay strong.

The love all of you have for Chris and his family speaks for itself. Know in your hearts that Chris is with each & everyone of you. Thanks for sharing memories, just sitting and talking & enjoying a laugh. Know that he will be watching over all of you, & that is a job only McNabb can do.
Love,

Chris-
I want you to know that you were the best Big Brother I could ever ask for. We had such an amazing childhood- mom and dad did an amazing job raising two rambunctous kids. You were and have been all my life my best friend. I can't believe you left me this soon. We had plans for the future- me, you, Dawn, Jacob and Addison... we were supposed to experience so much together. I want you to know that I always looked up to you and I always wanted to be there for you.I hope I didn't let you down in any way. I am thankful I had a brother to look out for me and set your friends straight when they got wild ideas!!(ha ha)I'm going to take such great care of my niece, your daughter- Addison Elizabeth and your wife who is my best friend and sister, Dawn. I love you , Chris and I will miss you for eternity. We expect you to watch over us and guide us as our guardian angel. Please come see me in my dreams.. and in White Noise like you had promised when that movie came out!! My heart aches every day until I can see you again. Our lives will not be the same without you here... I wish you were here.... Hold on to our precious daughter Kaitlin and never let go..
I love you with everything-

To know Chris was to love Chris. I had the privelege to see Chris again this Summer after several years and got to meet his beautiful baby girl Addison. She is a spitting image of him and beautiful. He was so excited to introduce me to her even though she was not feeling well. Chris was my very dear friend since first grade and I am deeply saddened for his entire family's loss. May God bless and comfort each of you during this time. Our prayers are with you.

Much love and many prayers,

Words alone cannot express how much I feel for you during your loss. This is when we rely upon God's awesome comfort and power to intercede. I will continue to pray for you and your family. As you and your family face the days ahead, take "one day at a time". Know that you have many friends who are praying for you. In time you will be able to smile at the great memories you have of your brother.

In Christ,

Daddy, I will miss all the times you allowed me to eat snacks before dinner. I will miss the tickling , giggling, stories, and silliness. I will miss dancing with you to Dave Mattehews in the living room. I know you are watching over us, and me and mommy will take comfort in one another. We will miss your silly saying and one-liners. We both will miss your kind encouragement, gentle demeanor, forhead kisses,and giant bear hugs.
We will love and cherish the time we had with you each and everyday!

Love,

You have been the best father, friend, companion, and husband. I will miss your embraces, intense blue eyes, and a smile that always lit up my life. You were my soulmate and I take comfort in knowing that you are watching over us. You have and always will be my heart. Our love was unconditional and unique.

So many times life passes us by without being given the opportunity to accomplish all you have set out to accomplish. Chris was one of the most unique, caring, soft hearted people you would have ever had the pleasure to know. His smile would light up the darkest of rooms and cheer up the saddest of the sad. My heart aches for you, Dawn and Addison. My heart aches for you, Mrs. Karen, Mr. John, April and Jake, Laura, Jordan. Precious little Addison, please know that you will never, as long as I breathe, go without. Please always know that your father was a star. When you smile, know that your cheeks are his. When you cry, know that your heart is his. When you have questions, know that he is listening. Much Love and God Bless.
