Hello Friends-
I am very sorry for your loss. I have enjoyed watching the boys grow up. Chris always had the time and maturity to talk to me at gatherings over the years. I always experienced Chris as a boy who would become his own man. The service was beautiful. I was especially moved by the words of his best friend. He helped me to appreciate what Chris was like as a young man. Ben and Sarah are also very sad and send their best thoughts as they enjoyed and respected Chris.

Chris & Family: When I saw the name and the photo my heart sunk. Words fail me Chris but faith consoles that death will not have the final word. The Mass was beautiful and filled with that hope. We have five children, the youngest of whom is Chris' age and to imagine her to be gone just makes me hurt all the more for you, your wife and children. Time and faith heal but even more comforting was how he touched others with his love, his friendship and his dreams.

Dear Kathy, Chris, Kevin and Sean,
We were devastated to hear about Seans' tragic accident. He was such a vibrant, funny and entertaining young man always smiling. We all have been lucky to have shared many special times with him.
As your family mourns, please remember that God makes things happen for a reason, there are no coincidences. He was a special part of your life and you will remember him always, that is no coincidence.
Love always,
Frank, Yvette, Morgan and Maxwell McEvoy.

Words could never express the sadness that I feel for you and your family. Without knowing your son, I know that if he had a little bit of each of you in him, that he truly was remarkable, kind, loving and caring.

With much love,

Kathy & Family,
I just watched the wonderful video tribute that you compiled in Chris' memory. It brought me back to the days when he was a smiling, cherubic little boy @ Loudonville School. You raised an incredible young man whose legacy will live on in our community forever. As a mom, I can only imagine your heartbreak. Please know that even though there are no words that can ease the hole in your hearts, you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days.

Dear Kathy, Christopher and the boys,
there are no words to express how sad I am for all of you. It is impossible to imagine how only a week ago Andy spent the weekend in Brooklyn with Chris.... His energy, intellect, music will always remain a part of my sons' lives. Their youthful joy in Mad Tryst...I just see him with his guitar at Van Dyck's...
All my love to you.

Kathy and family,
So very sorry for your loss. I met your sweet boys briefly years ago when I dropped by as they tore around your kitchen. I am not at all surprised to read that you raised a fine young man with a social conscious, love of music and the ability to make those around him laugh and feel good. It's very clear from reading the messages here from those who knew Chris, that he not only impressed and was admired by them, but has also left an imprint on their hearts. May the knowledge of that and all your wonderful memories ease the pain of your loss.
Heartfelt condolences,
Donna Koons

Dear Family,

Dear Kathy, Chris, Kevin, and Sean,
I just learned the news of this horrible tragedy. Our hearts are just breaking for all of you. I am stunned and sick over this beyond words.The loss of a child is the worst. I remember we all had our three boys about the same ages. I remember Chris at Loudonville School like yesterday and the times our boys would play. I fondly remember Chris and what a very sweet boy he was. I am not surprised to learn of all of his compassion, accomplishments and talents that he shared as a young man. We are all very saddened for your family and hold you close in our hearts. May God give you the strength to get through this awful time with peace in knowing that he is in heaven and will never be forgotten.
