Celia, V, R & A -
There are no words that we can give you to take away the grief for this unimaginable loss. Chris was an amazing person and I've looked up to him my entire life. He was my closest cousin in age and I have so many memories of times with him over the past four decades. Losing him so young is a tragedy none of us can reconcile in our minds or hearts and his warmth and smile will be with us always. Our family roots run deep and we will always be here for you.
Love you,
Donovan & Emily

Dear Celia, Victoria, Rebecca, Alex, Richard, and Bonnie,
Words fall incredibly short at expressing how sorry I am about the loss of your husband, father, and son. Chris was the most incredible friend I could ask for. We supported each other through life's highs and lows for the 28 years that I knew him and I will miss him every day for the rest of my life. I wish you all peace and healing through this time of tragic and unexpected loss.
Sincerely,
Chance
