Memories and Condolences

Connie, Jason, Nick,and Kaitlyn After reading some of the e-mail it was heartwarming to hear of so many friends that he had especially in what they wrote. My Love for him and respect I had for him was based from our childhood as Brothers and things we shared during that time. After we grew up the times became fewer and fewer in keeping as close as we were. Of all my Brothers , it was Chris that I spent most of my time with. Over the past six months I have lost two of my brothers, each time the hurt not getting any easier. Many have said that I both look and sometimes act like him. I take that as a complement. I mentioned to some of his friends that I am looking into moving down to Jacksonville. They said I would have some big shoes to fill. I dont think I could fill those shoes, but I would hope that I will in some way be able to help in some ways to ease the pain and stress that Connie is going through. I will miss Chris but will always have what we shared in the past to remember him by and hope with all my heart to help Connie and the Kids keep his Memory close to our hearts. I Love you Chris.
Love Vance

Dear Connie, Jason, Nick and Kaitlyn,
Needless to say we were all very shocked when we heard that Chris had passed away and being we are further away it is still hard for us to believe that he is gone. We have talked many times how great you (Connie) and Chris were alway with Krystal. You both treated her just great and we truly missed you guys when you moved to Jacksonville. We now just gathered and read what everyone has written and we could see that he touched the lives of many people and all in a positive and christian way. We are so sorry for your tremendous loss and we know that it will be hard for all of you, but remember that you are never alone as God will always be with you as he was and is with Chris. Please take care of yourselves and have patience with each other during these difficult times. Connie, please hug all of the children from us and then give yourself a big hug. You are all in our prayers and may God be with all of you. We love all of you.
Uncle Glen, Aunt Cookie and Krystal

To the family of Chris
I worked with chris and often spoke with him. I am very sorry that he passed away. It came as a shock to all of us at work. I can't even begin to know what a loss his wife and children must be feeling. I just wanted to take a few minutes to say that I considered Chris to be a good man and that he will be missed.

Dear Connie, Jason, Nick, and Kaitlyn
I can only begin to imagine how hard and difficult this time is for you all. I am deeply sorrowed at the loss of Chris. He was and will ever be truely a great and awsome husband and father. It's still so hard to believe that he is no longer with you and all of us. So many times I turn and think he's still here; he'll be on his way home soon, or he just ran out to get something for one of you, which he loved to do. He was always there to go above and beyond for not only you, but for anyone and everyone. I almost believe he is possible the most missed man in all of Jacksonville. I know you all know with out saying the love that he had for Chloe' and I as well. Steping right up and grabing her into his arms the first time that he saw her that late September or early October day in 1998, at Sportsfans (card shop). I had no idea who he was just someone else walking into, that card shop, that day, but felt nothing wrong with it for some strange reason. As you Connie know its very strange to have a coplete stranger pick up your infant and feel easy with it. It was only a short time later that I and Chloe' were so fortunate to meet you and all the kids. What a wonderful day that has turned out to be. Chris loved everyday that he spent here with you all and so was so prowd to be your husband and father. There is only one thing that could take him away from being here with you all, an know unfortunately that terriable thing has happened. We all must move on with loveing thoughts and memories, of him, even its so hard for us to deal with, we must somehow do it. Chris left nothing out when it came to letting everyone he knew or came in contact with about how great and wonderful his wife and children were, even including Chloe'. He will alway be remembered in my heart as one of the greatest men, ever put here on earth, to love, raise, and foster a wife and family. I'm sure that he is always looking down on you all, braging and saying how smart, strong, and always striving to achieve, your best at mothering, swimming, dance, school, and what ever chalalnge you decide to endure. I am with you all know and will always be there no matter when, where, or what, at any time. I think even though we are all deeply sorrowed, we also know that he truely is in a better place with our Lord and Savior, and we will someday be reunited with the wonderful husband, father, and friend, which he truely was and has been for the last so many years of his life. I love and am with you Connie, Jason, Nick and Kaitlyn.
Love

It was indeed a pleasure to know and work with Chris. We became really good friends through the years. Since he was the one that worked on all the jobs I used at work, we worked together quite a lot. We would fuss at each other in a teasing way. We had fun. One of the special times was being in several of the company's talent shows together. I went to his house and Connie and I worked on his costume together. He was always involved in everything; home, school, church, and work. I don't know how he had enough energy to keep up with all he did. Chris was a good man. He had a dry sense of humor and sometimes I wouldn't know if he was teasing, but then I would realize he was just giving me a hard time. Chris was a dedicated family man. He loved his family. He was always showing me pictures of his kids and every time he got new pictures, well, he would bring those in also. He was so very proud of his family and everything they were involved in. He couldn't say enough about his kids.
I loved Chris. He was a dear friend and I will miss him very much. I won't ever forget him, he made a lasting impression and there will always be a special place in my heart for Chris Blume.
Connie, Jason, Nicholas and Kaitlyn, May God Bless you and keep you in his arms. I am so very sorry , Connie that you lost your husband and Jason, Nicholas and Kaitlyn, I am so very sorry you lost you daddy. Just always remember that he loved all of you very much. Don't ever forget that.
I Love You, Chris. You will be MISSED.

Connie, Jason, Nicholas, and Kaitlyn,
In the 5 years I worked with Chris, he became one of my most treasured friends at work. Whether I was having a frustrating day, needed a break, or to brainstorm, I'd stop down at Chris's desk because I knew I could count on him for a lift or a lesson. When he'd share stories of your Creative Memories or your daycare activities, or pictures from Jason and Nick's ball games, Kaitlyn's and Chloe in their leotards, swimming meets, the family's trip to Minnesota or Alaska, his September trip and unexpected delays, or comparing stories of our large families who were both spread throughout the country, his love of family came through in the 100 watt smile on his face and the pride in his voice. His cartoon character ties, his lunchtime trips after beenie babies, his singing and participating in activities at work, and his pride in his family are the things I'll remember most. His knowlege, support and friendship will be sadly missed. I pray God will bless you and your family with the faith and strength to work through this difficult period, knowing he's watching over you all from above..

Chris was a wonderful man and a great co-worker. He carried a huge work-load here at AHL and he is truly missed by his co-workers. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone and had a knack for offering one, just when you really needed to hear it!. He was a great man and he is sorely missed here at AHL. Connie and the children are in our daily prayers.

Working with you at AHL was such a tremendous joy. But what I miss most is talking to you about baseball, the Jaguars, the latest beenie baby, or the latest trip you and the family are about to take.
You always took the stairs to get everywhere in the building and everytime my stairwell door opens, I'm waiting for you to come by and wave at me. Chris, I thank you for your friendship, your knowledge about everything under the sun, sharing your family stories about Connie and the kids, and for just taking the time to sit and share them with me.
I'm so very glad that our paths crossed because you truly made a difference in my life.
The Lord truly blessed you and will continue to bless your family!
Your Friend and Co-Worker

I worked with Chris only a short time, but it was wonderful. He was always helpful and there to solve problems. He loved sharing stories of his family and his pride in the children always showed. He will be greatly missed as a friend and coworker.

When you think of Chris, you think of his family because they are whom he lived for. He spoke of them with pride all the time and never was without pictures to show off. He loved his family deeply and that love was expressed in his every deed. God Bless,

If a person's worth is measured by the impact one has on others and the world then Chris Blume was truly worth his weight in gold. Chris went out of his way to make others feel better about themselves. He was a devoted family man who was extremely proud of his children and their accomplishments. He always shared the latest pictures and awards. His love of his family was quite evident. I remember when Chris first started working at AHL. I saw this tall, bearded guy with pointed cowboy boots and wondered who he was because he certainly didn't fit the image of the typical AHL employee. We all quickly learned that Chris was anything but typical. Who else woudl be sport enough to don women's clothing (wig and all) to participate in a company talent show. His performance was priceless! Chris also entertained us with his impression of Uncle Sam. Chris left a big hole in our organization but he also left us with many fond memories. I truly believe God sends us angels in the form of everyday people. I know God planned for our paths to cross and I am forever thankful that.

Although, I only worked with Chris for a year, I feel as if I have known him for a lifetime. Chris was a true gentleman and joker. He opened his heart to all and extended his love to friend or foe. I learned from him by example. His love for his wife and children was obvious when he would speak of their accomplishments. He was a proud father and husband. He loved to aggravate and kid with his coworkers to get a smile or laugh. Our days together were short, but he has touched my life and will be remember forever. Through our time together I have learned to appreciate what I have and keep smiling. I will miss him greatly.

Chris was very friendly and concientous about his work. He is the first person at AHL who I really got to know because our kids attended Darnell Cookman Middle School. Since he has been gone we realize more and more all the things he used to handle..

When I think of Chris Blume I think of extended family. From the time our daughter, Hannah, came to stay at Connie's daycare, over 5 years ago, Chris and Connie not only took us in to their home, but their hearts as well. He was a true gentleman. As I got to know Chris I learned from his actions and words that he loved his kids and Connie very much. If Mark was ever out of town for work or reserve duty, he always was concerned for my and Hannah's safety and wanted to help in anyway he could. I loved his deep voice when he would say "Hey, how are you young lady". He treated Hannah like she was one of his and made sure she felt loved by all of them and called her "sweetie". He was easy going and a joy to talk and joke with. The last moment I spent with Chris was sitting on the couch at their house for the Daycare Christmas Party and talking. I miss those moments, but will cherish the memories I have. Our families shared so many special times with each other and I will never forget how proud Chris was of his kids in dance, swimming and school. Mark had said Chris had impressed him when he was at their house one day and Chris had taken a day of vacation from work to work in the yard with all of his plants and flowers. Hannah and I always said Mr. Chris sure did have a green thumb and that he did!! I know he loved our Lord too and I know that he is with our Heavenly Father now. Our lives were surely blessed and enriched by knowing Chris and having him in our lives. He was a man that would do anything for Connie and his kids, no matter the distance or the time of day or night. The only time you saw him mad was when someone had been "bad" and needed his direction or when he felt an injustice was done to his kids or his wife. He was a very caring and wise man. He had true character with christian values and morals. Jason, Nick and Kaitlyn, your Dad was a special Man to a lot of people and you guys are lucky to say he was your Dad. He loved you, was proud of you and would do anything for you and he lived that everyday that he was your DAD, never forget that. Connie, you've become a very special friend to me and I say with the deepest of love and friendship that I am sorry for your loss and the difficult days you have ahead of you. I want to also say that Chris, showed me in his actions and words I heard him say to you that he loved and adored you and truly loved his life with you and the kids. Friends are friends forever if the Lord is the Lord of them...Chris is a forever friend and I'm proud to have known him. We love you all and keep you in our prayers daily. Please ask when there is something we can do for you or the kids. God Bless, Rhonda, Mark and Hannah Emerson

In memory of a great friend and co-worker;
Chris Blume was my friend and I miss him dearly. We would visit or talk to one another on almost a daily basis at American Heritage Life (now Allstate Financial Workplace Division).
Chris was a skilled programmer of the "old" languages that are the life our systems. He worked in an ever changing world, but always with a positive attitude! He was very confident of his skills and very willing to help others.
Chris wore the most enjoyable ties to work for many years. His cartoon ties were my favorites.
We share the love of family, always comparing pitures of our kids ... he was sooo proud of his children. His family was his life and he worked hard at AHL for them.
We also shared a love for woodworking. He enjoyed the time he could spend making anything out of wood and I knew he intended to spend many years in the craft ... he is with the master carpenter now and there must be a great woodshop in heaven.
Chris believed in God and knew His Son. We spoke of the importance of being in a relationship with God and not just being "religious". He was a servant-hearted man, with a deep love for his God, family and friends.
We shared a love for music. He sang in our chorus group at the office and had a deep wonderful bass voice. He sang a solo at our Christmas open house for employees on Dec. 21st. That will be my last memory of Chris, hearing him sing the Santa part of Rudolph.
Chris was like an older brother to me.
May God bless Connie and the children as I know that Chris is receiving His blessings even as I write these words.

Mr. Blume was always very supportive of my swimming and interested in my progress. Even if I didn't drop my times he was there with encouraging words, which for me felt good after a bad swim. He helped me believe I would do better next time because he believed in me. My family will miss him and if you ever need anything we will try to help as best as we can. If you need a babysitter don't hesitate to call me, I will be happy to help out. 721-6532
Much love,

I got to know Chris and Connie because Kaitlyn and Nick are in the same classes as my girls at school. I have had the privilege of attending many field trips with Chris, the most recent to the Nutcracker Ballet with Nicks class. He was always the gentleman with many interesting stories and very easy to talk to. He always made sure all the parents (which were mostly moms) had a seat during lunch at the parks on field trips. He would share whatever food he brought with anyone who wanted anything. Above all else, he would say things like, "have you seen Connies hair lately? Isn't it pretty." And he gave many stories of his children with a glow on his face. He seemed complete and content as a father and husband.
Connie, Jason, Nick and Kaitlyn, you had a great dad and husband who loved you very much. I am so sorry for your lose and pray that God will bring you comfort with the happy memories you hold in your hearts.

January 17, 2002
Although we didn't know Chris for very long, he really had an impact on our lives. We admired Chris for the way he constantly showed his love for his family, as well as his generosity and kindness to others. When he'd tell us about the many field trips, spelling bees, swimming competitions & other family outings, it was always with that special look of pride that parents everywhere know so very well. Janice will especially remember Chris's generosity. After hearing that we had recently purchased a new flag after the 9/11 tragedy, he immediately offered her one of his own landscaping lights to help illuminate it. I'll always remember his kindness on the morning of the Florida/Georgia football game, when we left our then 11 month old son, Griffin, at the Blume's house for the day. Connie & the kids were gone, so Chris greeted us at the door. He took Griffin from us, held him, and talked to him as if he was one of his own children. Griffin must have thought highly of Chris too, because it was one of the few times that a man (other than myself) had held him and he didn't start to cry.
When hearing the church choir for the first time after Chris's death, it brought tears to our eyes to think of him singing amongst the angels. He will truly be missed by those who knew him, and God has richly blessed him, his family, and those whose lives he touched. He set a great example as a father, husband, friend, and Christian. We think the world of Connie, Kaitlyn, Nicholas and Jason and have come to view the Blumes as members of our extended family. Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to all of you.

Dear Connie, Jason, Nicolas and Kaitlyn, I am so sorry that Chris is gone from us, but so grateful that I had the opportunity to know him. I will always remember him as a kind and caring friend who loved his God and family above all. Savor the time we had him with us and learn from all the wisdom and gifts he shared. God bless you all, Betty Huelster

Chris was like a big brother to me and like a surrogate grandfather to my children. No matter how busy he was, he always had time to hug my kids, tickle them, or just let them know they were loved. Whenever Quynh and I expressed any type of need, Chris was always volunteering to help. My best memory of him is still when he came to the hospital the night of Alexander's surgery and stayed with us until the doctors gave us a favorable report. Since the first surgery came so suddenly and unexpectedly, we didn't have any family in town, but having Chris there made us realize that part of our family was right with us. I'm so glad we were together at Christmas Eve services, although I wish we could have heard him sing. Every time we sit in our pew, we will look over to the other side of the church and picture him smiling at our kids and then enjoying the rest of the service with the love of his life and the kids that were the joy and pride of his heart. We miss him everyday!

I knew Chris as a member of Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran Church. As a choir member sitting in the front row, I could hear Chris's clear voice resound with love for Christ and his fellow man.
I am sure Chris is still singing and his voice will always echo within Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran Church. To the family of Chris, I extend heartfelt sympathy and know that God's timing is right.
Count on me for anything you may need.
January 16, 2002
To my cousin Connie and her family,
At this very sad time in your life, may you find comfort in knowing that Chris is forever in heaven with Jesus. No words can express the loss you must feel. Remember that you are never alone and that God is just a prayer away. You're in our prayers. We're thinking of you and love you. Maybe I can talk that sister of yours into a trip to Florida for a visit with you and the kids. Stay strong.

I was just getting to know Chris and all of your family better only recently but it was always very easy to see what a sweet man Chris is. We really got to talk and know each other best at the swimmeet in Ocala and it was a pleasure. This weekend at Savannah I kept looking at the wonderful swims that all the kids had and Katlyn's trophy(High Point WOOOWWW!) and I could just feel Chris smiling down and saying Hey everybody look at what my kids are doing this weekend I am so proud. I could almost feel him there and I kept expecting to feel him shake my shoulder and say so are you feeling o.k. now and make dinner plans for the night. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him or Brittney doesn't say something like how are the kids and Connie can I say or do something to help? Lots of love to you all! Chris I'm sure is so proud of all of you and smiling down from heaven. You will see him again and feel the true joy of being in heaven to never part again. Please ask or call if we can be of any help.
Love,

Chris will be deeply missed at all of our Hallmark meetings. He was always smiling, willing to help, and so enjoyed his Hallmark collector buddies. I think he enjoyed being the only male in the group - and Connie graciously allowed him to reign supreme. He was doing an excellent job as President - a natural leadership ability. We will miss him for sure...

As a choir member at Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran,it was a pleasure and a treat to have known and sung with Chris. He was always so easy going and kind. When I would stray from the right notes he would guide me graciously to the correct ones. His voice and leadership will be sorely missed.
There is one consolation. There is one more great bass in that heavenly choir.So sing on, Chris

I have gotten to know Chris over the last couple of years through the Hallmark Collectors Club. He was such a kind and gentle man and he will be greatly missed. He was not only the club President but he had a knack for being able to "handle" being the only male in the group of women. He was very good at putting up with us. I am so glad that I got to see him just a week before we passed away especially since I missed the Christmas Party. He delivered a Tasmaniam Devil stuffed animal to me to take to a needy family for Christmas. I know he is over all of you from Heaven. Best Wishes for you and your family for the future.

I got to know Chris during my exchange year in 1998, when he gave me a home and accepted me into his family. So for a short period of time, I got a chance to have him as a dad.
I remember Chris as a caring and wise man. He had a lot of life experience, and you could always have very interesting talks with him. And I remember Chris as a man who truly loved his family.
Connie, Jason, Nick, and Kate, my and my family's deepest sympathies are with you. I wish you all the best during these hard times!

It was obvious the minute you met Chris that he was a very special man. Our family will always be grateful that we were able to know him. My last memory of Chris was a fitting one -- it was him coming home the day before he passed away and greeting Connie with a smile and a kiss. As I said, he was a very special person.
We know he is in a place of peace.

I just wanted you to know what a warm and wonderful man Chris was. Whenever I was at your house he made you feel welcomed and I never left your house late at night after a Creative Memories workshop without him helping me to the car to make sure I was safe. Your family is not far from my thoughts and prayers. If any of you need anything just call me.

Chris was the first person from the team to introduce himself. Clare, Amanda and I attended the post-season party at Hanna Park in August 2000. The girls had only been swimming about two weeks---couldn't even swim 25 yards. I knew all about Jason, Nick and Kaitlyn long before they knew Clare and Amanda. Chris could never get enough of the kids. I remember that day on the beach, talking about our children and how Coach runs the team. One year later, Chris and I were back on the beach, talking about the same things. Only this time, Amanda was playing with Kaitlyn; Jazmin, Clare and Jason were, shall I say, being themselves. Chris and I had to almost drag them off of the beach when the lightening storm started its way inland; they were oblivious to it all. I talked to Chris on December 26----another one of our usual conversations. I will miss our regular talks and the Hanna Park beach party will not be the same for me. Connie, please know that you can call me if there is anything I can do. Peace be with you.

I have known the Blume family for many years through University Christian School. I taught Jason in second grade, am now the principal of Kaitlyn and Nick, and my parents live right next door to them. Chris was such a loving and devoted husband/father. His life appeared to revolve around those kids. He took off so many days at work to go on field trips and had just recently dressed up as Uncle Sam to be a part of our National Young Readers Day (alongside local celebrities). I will always remember the words he said to me whenever he saw me..."How are you, young lady?"... Chris and my father became good friends and were always helping each other with lawn work, decorations for Christmas, and other "husband" stuff. I know he will be sorely missed. I will miss him. He has left a wonderful family legacy. God bless! Ps. 50:15

I remember one day after all of the Blume's Christmas lights were up and they looked amazing already. I saw Chris on the roof of the house putting additional lights up and I said, "Chris, what are you doing? Don't you think you have enough lights?" His reply..."Connie has always wanted Christmas lights on the roof, so I am doing it for her". Chris had always been very kind to us and that day he left a heartfelt impression on me and I will never forget it. He loved his wife and his family. He will be dearly missed by all of us and his kindness was unsurpassed. We love you Connie, "Big" Jason, Nicholas and Kaitlyn. We are here when you need us.
