Kris was a very good guy and I'm very proud to say that I was fortunate to know and briefly work with him. He was definitely a good example of what a man should be : good father, good fiance, and a good friend. May he rest in peace, and may his family and friends stay strong! God bless.

My heart goes out to the Bruski Family. I know your Uncle Bob and Aunt Amy. I lost my dad in January this year to pancreatic cancer after a courageous two year battle. CANCER SUCKS!!! I am just glad that Kris is in a better place where there is no more pain and suffering. He was way to young to leave you but you will see him again. God Bless you and your family.

Dear Tom, Kelly and Family. I am so very sorry to hear of Kris losing his battle. He was a tough young man, and he did everything he could to do his best to fight. Reason's we will never understand for why so many have to leave this life at such a young age. I never got to actually meet Kris, or any of you, but I got to send Kris my thoughts and prayers and give him some encourgagement, letting him know that colon cancer is tough, but some of us are blessed and win. He was hit hard with his and he did his best, but it takes alot out of a person, and Kris, I feel just had to let go. Seeing his pictures, his children, and him on his bike, made me know just how much he was loved, and how much he loved all of you. May you all know, that he is only out of sight, but he is always closer than you may know. I believe our loved ones do get to guide us and will never leave us. May you feel the support of all your loved ones, and many of us "caring-bridge friends" God bless you all, and keep smiling, for Kris is with you always.......Sincerely, Patty Joy Rauer.

To the Family of Kris

We are so sorry for your loss. We have so many fun memories of Kris in High School, roaming the streets of the East-Side and most of all the time we spent with Kris at St. Paul College, in the good old Graphic Arts class. Kris always had the BEST story's and could make us laugh like no other. We never got to see him as a father or fiance but I am sure he was awesome. Our prayers are with you through these hard times

What a vibrant young man Kris was. It seems he taught many dignity lessons in the last few years of his life. Rest in big pillows of peace, Kris.

And for those around him who served as loving witness to his incredible journey, may you find islands of peace and joy as you celebrate Kris's life and legacy.

When I saw you last I never even thought it would actually be the very last time. You are such a fighter and held on for so long. Able to live out the rest of your life as you should with your family and closet friends. Those times will be cherished forever as well as the memories that were made before. Rest now Kris and know that you will always and forever be in our hearts.

"God saw you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "come to ME".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best."

Ride on Kris, ride on!
