Although I had not seen C.J. since middle school, it is evident that his kindness and charm had remained intact.
I had just moved to the area and knew no one at Herndon Middle School. C.J. and I had a class together, where the teacher made me introduce myself to the class - a thoroughly embarrassing experience & a great way to not make friends….or so I thought. Later that day, for no reason other than to be kind to a stranger, he introduced me to a few of his friends. Such a simple act meant the world to me. That thoughtfulness and understanding of my feelings will forever be with me. It was a true testament to his character. He was kind to all, his smile welcoming and his laugh infectious.
My thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences are with your family.

Just say his name "CJ" and friends knew who you were talking about. Our family has such fun memories of him with Kris and all the buddies from Herndon. CJ was so easy going, kind, and a pleasure to be around. I trust that he was not meant to have such a short life here, as his joyful spirit will be terribly missed by all who knew him.
Our hearts go out to his parents for the loss of such a precious child.
We will honor CJ in every way that we can

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel.What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word,one more drink, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived and that you have found a place of happiness. The memories that your life gave us are too beautiful to forget. May the memories give us strength and comfort and take comfort in knowing an angel is watching over us.
