Spring Ridge Rd will never be the same....
We will all sorely miss your ever smiling face and gentle ways. I will miss our long talks at the side of the road, when you would take a break from mowing.
May you rest in eternal peace my friend.

Chris: Thanks for all you did to make Spring Ridge Road a special little corner of our world. Your open heart and hands are forever appreciated. You made a special little boy happy to be in COvid-19 lockdown because you made it feel like an adventure and a vacation. A garden with his name, which yielded fresh tomatoes, baby
bunnies, chicken´s and getting the eggs. I don´t know how and when we will tell him you´re physical self is gone, but know you will be in his heart forever. May you rest in internal peace friend.

Chris was my neighbor for 11 years. We used to sit together in his Touch the Earth garden. We spent many hours talking about spiritual things. We shared philosophies and ideas.
His brightness was a balm to me during troubled times.
We often discussed the afterlife.
I loved him as a friend and spiritual brother.
While earth has lost a beacon of light, heaven has gained and angel.
Chris will be watching over all who loved him.
I plan to place a wreath on his garden to honor our many ours of connection.
How you can show support

I had the opportunity to know Chris through Geico and he was kind and dependable. I admired him for his generosity and willingness to help others. He was inspiring in his planning to retire early through careful planning, investments and efforts to be self-sufficient. I got to see his work & home in Lexington and it sad he left us way too soon. I pray for his peace, he will be missed.

Chris was a kind and peaceful person. He enjoyed helping others in need. I had an opportunity to show Chris my friend´s large vegetable garden. I remember Chris´s joy when learning new ways of planting vegetables. May Chris Rest In Peace.
