Memories and Condolences
for Dana Christopher
July 22, 2010
I'm deeply sorry to hear about Dana's passing. I was fortunate enough to work with Dana at the start of my career (1997)with Grainger in Richmond. He taught me that no matter what job you held with the company that you should always do your best for the customer and I thank him for that. (Sam Hoover \ Memphis, TN)

I was so sorry to hear of Dana, passing. I want to wish the family my condolences. I worked at the Grainger branch in Roanoke,VA, but working thru the phone, I had the opportunity to talk to him, and thought he was a very professional and great person. Sorry again to hear of his passing. My prayers go out to his friends and family

Dear cousins, We love you and grieve with you. Dana made quite an impression on all of us and although we don't get to see you often, he made each visit memorable! My boys will NEVER forget their first snipe hunt in your backyard! Dana made that experience so fun and magical! They carried on the tradition for numerous young campers at church and scout camps! Hold on to all of YOUR precious memories and always cherish the time you had together. We love you! Jennifer (Hinerman), Jim, Jay and Jeremy Plyburn

Oh, Doug, I just heard about your brother. I had seen the obituary and thought how sad it was to see someone so young, but I didn't realize he was your brother until the old Cruisair gang notified me. You, your brother and all of your family will be in my prayers.--Jackie

Christopher Family:
I am so very sorry to hear of Dana's passing. What a gentle soul. Please know that each of you are in my thoughts & prayers today and in the days head. Sometimes, there just are no words....
I remember Dana from Seven Pines Elementary all the way through Varina High School. Amy, I remember when he asked you to the prom. A few years passed & I remember running into Dana picking up the children from Newbridge Church. He was so proud of his family.
May God's love embrace you all. In time, may your saddness be replaced with smiles & always remember he will remain in your heart. Again, I am so very, very sorry.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men:yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." Ecclesiastes 3:11 May you find peace, in time, for now allow the love and concern of friends, family and community to support you... and know that God is with you.
Dana was a wonderful coach to our son, and Candice has been a wonderful friend to our daughter.
