Chris was a dear friend of mine, we met when I was in 6th grade with move up day, and he was in my group. And then, when we got to the 7th grade, I knew a friendship was going to be born. He would make me laugh, and would always find a way to put a smile on my face on sad days. Every class we were both in, whether it was a science class or a history class, he would always make us laugh and was a bright soul of happiness and laughter. And I am so glad to have been a part of Chris's life. He and I would always help each other whenever we needed help, and he was one of the nicest, funniest, kindest people I've ever met. I'm so heartbroken that it's been one year since he passed, and it hasn't been the same without him. To his family and friends, I'm so so so sorry about the loss. Chris has not only impacted me, but he has impacted everyone he had the pleasure to know. If it wasn't for him, I would have never made it through middle school and even high school. One of the biggest memories I had with him was when we were in middle school, and it was 9th grade, and I was in a depression stage, and I was always sad all the time, Chris would cheer me up by telling jokes, and being the one thing that could make me happy, and make every class awesome. I still can't believe he's gone:( I love and miss you man:( Thinking about you every day:( Rest in peace brother:( I'll see you real soon:( His family and friends have my condolences, and thoughts and prayers:( I miss you man:( Thanks for the laughters and the great memories and the fun we had together:( On field trips, and concerts and classes:( I'll never forget these moments we shared together:( Love you Chris:(

Hello I was incarcerated when Chris passed away. He was a good friend to me in middle school when I went to Holicong. But we lost touch when I moved back to New York City. I don't know how he passed, but I know it had to have been something tough. I just wanna say I'm sorry for the loss. He was an amazing guy and I wish I could have at least have one more day with him again rest in peace Chris Atkinson I love you brother.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was one of Chris' teachers at Buckingham in sixth grade. He was always so kind, polite, and easygoing. I enjoyed teaching him and seeing his sweet face everyday. Many prayers for your family.

Chris was just a ray of sunshine, he was there for anyone that needed help. I have never seen someone smile and laugh as much as he did, it was just a bright light every time we hung out and did things together. I recently have had the pleasure to reconnect with him this year and got to see him before he went which was a blessing. He was so kind and always was up to do something which I admired. You will be forever missed❤

Chris... I loved the first time we met. You showed me around your reptile room. Then later I would take your green tree out and get bit to hell. Your face, the laughs. That’s my memory and always will be! Rest easy young man. Let your parents, Erin and Joe Bur know you’re still there every chance you get... you will be missed.
