Hey little sister. There's not a day that goes by that i don't think of Chris. I can't help but feel saddened whenever I remember all the happy fun times spent together. Life is so unfair when they take away from us the best one's first! I hope you and Derek and the sweet Ellie are readjusting to daily life. I'm here whenever you need me. Your Bro'.

Amy - Jack just visited Tucson this weekend and heard of Chris' passing. We were both shocked and our hearts are broken. Even though we haven't seen him in years, we remember his kind ways and fun nature. We will be praying for you and the kids. Chris' legacy is strong in you three.

Dear Amy,
My family became friends with Chris because we purchased many cars from him. We go way back to the days when his family owned the dealership. I am so sad to hear of his untimely death. I knew he was sick, but am shocked at how quickly it all happened. He was truly a special man. He always spoke so lovingly of you and his children and I know that you are all aware of how much he loved you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your children at this difficult and sad time.

I was aware of his illness as some of the old employees told me,still I am shocked. I will end by expressing my deepest sympathy to you and your family,Chris will surely be missed.
Best Regards Daniel Rose

To the Jobst family: My name is Dave Paulson and I worked with Chris at BMW from 1999 to 2003. Learning of Chris's parting saddened me. I recall so many times he helped me. Not being a techy guy I had constant problems explaining the Navigation System on BMWs to my clients. Chris, I would call, help me with this. He was always there. Thanks Chris. Rest easy. David

Dear Amy, Derek, and Ellie!
Know that our Lord and Savior has Chris safely in His arms--no longer in pain or suffering.
We can rejoice remembering that He came as a baby over 2000 years ago to take on the suffering of this world, and pave the way for everlasting life for Chris and all the others we mourn.
I will also remember Chris' sparkling eyes, and welcoming smile, whenever I saw him at church.
The Lord has placed so many loving, caring people in your path to help you through your loss. I won't be able to attend the service on Saturday, but I will be there in spirit, and available if you need help at any time in the future.

Amy, Derek and Ellie,
My family will miss your Dad so much...the sparkle in his eye when he was excited, his laugh, his gentle way of handling things. I just looked at the pictures of Jack's christening 8 years ago and saw a joy in his eyes that I haven't seen in some time. As tough as it will be to live without him, it's been so hard to watch his disease consume and change him. You cared so lovingly for him and gave him so much in his life. He knew how lucky he was and his adoration of all of you was so visible.
My sympathy, love and prayers,
Dawn
