So sorry to Chris's family for his loss. I use to work with Chris at Dolly & Joe's back in the 80's. We use to have alot of fun. Always making us laugh. Lost track of him after so many years & alot of moves. About 14 years ago moved in the neighborhood & had him as a neighbor. Just recently moved out of the area. So sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers are with the family. He was a great guy. Always having a great time. May you find peace in his passing.

Ron & Kaye,
I am very sorry for your loss. Chris (Cuz) was an awesome friend and cousin.
I have very great memories. My grandma, Mary Anne Beard and Edith Beard are sisters, I was a friend to Chris, before I found out he was 2nd cousin. So it made our fiendship even closer every time we would hang out. We went to many concerts (Gwar & Clutch), parties, festivals, and many others. Chris loved his family and friends very much. I will miss you greatly, you will always be in my heart, Cuz.

My sweet, funny friend, I will miss you so much. I have known you most of my life and I remember all the great times we had together and they are many! You always made me laugh. You were always there for me, no matter what, you loved me unconditionally. I remember you being at the hospital when my daughter was born. You were in the hallway with your catchers mitt, yelling, I'm ready! I'm ready! You always put a smile on my face. Thank you for being my friend, thank you for all the wonderful memories. You will forever be in my heart. I love you.

Unvle Chris, I'll never forget you, I love you so much. I wish I would have stayed home from school Monday so I could have seen you one last time. When I found out about what happened I couldn't stop crying, and it's still hard for me to. We had so many fun/funny times together; especially at the Sponge concert when you stopped the whole concert just to get a picture with me & the lead singer on stage(: and all the other great times we had together. I'll miss randomly stopping by, texting you, or you picking up me and my friends from walking around. You'll always be in my thoughts; i love you & miss you so much Uncle Chris.
Love<3
Taylor Marie.

My husband knew Chris for 20 some years, I was fortunate enough to meet him a few years ago. He was so sweet and had a smile when ever I would see him! My daughter was even getting to know him well, cutting his hair, and called him nothing but Uncle Welty.The three of us have been reminising and sharing memories. We all took a very big loss with this. He will be missed deeply! Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
