My prayers go out to the family of Chris. I worked with him at Autozone for sometime and recall his kind spirit and him talking to me about life and how not to live life recklessly. I was devastated at the news of his passing, but I know he is a soldier of GOD now looking down on us. Again my condolences go out to the Leanos Family as well as his wife's family May God Bless You All.

SOME PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES
AND QUICKLY GO.
SOME PEOPLE STAY AWHILE
AND LEAVE FOOTPRINTS ON OUR HEARTS
AND WE ARE NEVER THE SAME.
BUT THE WILL OF GOD WILL NEVER TAKE YOU
TO WHERE THE GRACE OF GOD WILL NOT PROTECT YOU!
I LOVE YOU KI-NANO ! IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR I WAS YOUR FAVORITE TIA (AUNT).SO I'VE DONE GOOD.YOU WILL BE MISS BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

I hadn't seen chris or the family for about 20 years, but from i remember he was a blast to be around. Mely and Raul thank you for the friend I had while I was there!! From the Family Velasquez in Idaho, our prayers are with you all!!! It's good to hear that he was a brother in CHRIST and we know where he is and that we will get to see him soon. As the song says SOON AND VERY SOON WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE KING and brothers and sisters that a promise we can live by. I pray that those of you that knew him can live his dream and that is to know christ as your lord and savior!!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL DURING THIS TIME!!

Thanks to my older brother
Chris"CI-NANO"Leanos who made me who I am right now and that's a better man, my brother was a very loving person,ME,Laura and Marcus shared so many moments that we will never forget,God Called His name early for a reason and only God Almighty knows why, he will be missed by many people, but most his family. We only had him for 36 years, but man they were awesome 36 years. Chris Left to heaven to be with my 2 Grandmas,and Grandpa, my 2 cousins Pedro Sanchez,Debbie Sanchez,and Destiny Leanos. There is so much good things I shared with my Brother Chris but it would take 10 million pages to type the memories.I am happy he went with Our Lord JESUS CHRIST, Cause I know he was saved by the grace of GOD ALMIGHTY, the last words Chris told me and my family were I LOVE YOU!!! and He knew we Loved Him. MY BROTHER IS GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN, and one day i will be with him and my family, praise the Lord.

God bless you!

Chris...He is a Son,a brother, father, cousin, friend, husband...He was a part of someones life. He has made a deep and tremendous impact in my life. He was my loving cousin, my brother in life and in Christ. We shared life, jokes, pain, and the way to a life with Christ in our life. To his father and mother, my uncle and aunt....Because you brought such a loving son to our world, we all learned that good men are here. Chris always made me laugh, we would sit in your front yard and talk about things people might call nothing...but to me it was the most precious and most wonderful times I thank God I had with him. I always will remember those moments of your laughter, your teasing of Laura, those times you flexed your muscles and laughed as you asked 'how do I look'....I remember the last time I saw you at Frank's home, and we all laughed about the good old times when we were all just teenagers and did such dumb and crazy things. It hurts me so much to think I will not see you Chris at another family get together, another dance, another family occassion...But, what gives me peace is I know you are with Grandma, and in heaven. I miss you so much. God bless Tio Raul and Meli...I love you little cuz...

Chris although your no longer with us, we will never forget you. I will never forget that big smile and big hug you always gave me when I saw you. That will always stay with me. Whenever I saw you at your parents house you were always smiling and you always seemed very happy. I know that you have already passed the gates to Heaven, and I am sure that my mother and my nephew Pete were waiting for you with open arms. You will never be forgotten Chris. We all love you!

September 23, 2009

My thoughts and prayers go out to his children which will be left to battle this world without a father . I pray God will watch and protect your lives always. God bless you and give you the strength and peace your lives will need.

CHRIS, AS WE ALL NEW HIM WAS A VERY GENTLE AND LOVING PERSON... HE HAD A LOVING HEART AND HAD A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE WHEN HE TALKED... WE GREW UP TOGETHER, MY UNCLE AND HIS WIFE GOING TO MY MOTHERS HOUSE FOR BBQ'S, WE WOULD GET TOGETHER AT PARKS ON EASTER SUNDAY AND WOULD HAVE SO MUCH FUN... BUT OFCOURSE AS WE GROW OLDER WE BUILD OUR OWN FAMILIES AND GO OUR SEPERATE WAYS... BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE IN OUR HEARTS WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS THIS SPECIAL BOND BETWEEN FAMILIES.. WE WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER AND THAT WE KNEW WITHOUT EVEN ASKING... HE WILL TRULY BE MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN AS WE HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN MY DEAR BROTHER WHOM PASSED AWAY 27 YRS AGO AND STILL FRESH IN OUR MINDS... WE LOVE YOU CHRISTOPHER LEANOS... I AM SURE YOUR WITH AMA, PETE AND DEBBIE THEY WERE THERE TO GREET YOU ONCE YOU CROSSED THOSE PEARLY GATES...
