Chris,

I cannot believe in a couple days you would be 22. A lot of crazy things have happened around Hanover and also some great things. Everyone still thinks about you all the time and we all wish you could be here with us. I ran into Nick after I got back and it was a great moment. You are the guy i think about in my most stressful situations. I know you were with me during my time in England. Life has taken us all different directions but we will all never forget you.

I love you man. Never a greater guy in the neighborhood.

...Graduation is coming up and we have all been thinking about you a lot. I hope they will leave an empty chair for you there. We tried to make our class song "graduation song" because it made us remember you, but somehow that didn't end up being it. We all miss you and love you, and we still think about you every day!!

I still think about you every day... I know we were distant cousins, but it was different that your mom and mine were best friends. I'll never forget you and Nick calling me your "manish" cousin cause i'd play football with you two. I still think about you every day and wonder about the man you would have been, and it kills me that i'll never know that for real. It's different now... we don't do christmas together like we used to... We all miss you... I love you and miss you

Chris,

Wow I can't believe it's been a year already! This year went by so fast but it was definitely a hard one. This summer was tough. I still remember the year we went to the beach. It still feels like yesterday. I can still remember us in the go-cart and when we would get hit, our go-cart would go backwards, we'd get hit again we'd go forwards, get hit again we'd go backwards..blah blah. I can still hear you yelling for people not to hit us because it would be a wreck! haha Chris you truly are an angel. We miss you so much and one day we will get to see you again and I can not wait for that day to come! I love you Chris!

It is hard to believe that it has been one year since you were taken away from all us. Although it has not been easy your memory lives within us all forever. We talk about you often and how much we miss you. We have such happy memories and they will carry us to go on without you. You will always hold that special place in our hearts! Forever missing you!

It's been a tough year without you here with us. I think about you all time and all the memories we made. I look back at all of the photos of you and our families and I'm so thankful we have them. You will forever live on in my heart. I love you and miss you dearly.

To the Funt family... I can't even begin to imagine the pain and growth that you all have done in the past year. You all have made it through the year of the firsts... That is the hardest part. It was such a pleasure to know Chris and watch him learn and grow, he is very missed and loved by a lot of people. You are so blessed for that. Brad and Lauren speak of him often, we also keep his memory alive in our home, Chris will never be forgotten , only missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family always. The O'Connell and Lowman Family.

Chris,

I cant believe its been a year. Everything seems like its gone by so fast. I miss you so much. This year has been so hard for everyone, but its to hard for someone to imagine what another person is going threw. There hasnt been a day to go by where you dont come across my mind. Im wearing those pajama pants that i had on that night that me,you,and nick went to that soccer game under the lights. That night was one of the funnest nights that deffinitly brings back alot of memories. AT THE TIMES WE THOUGHT WE WERE JUST HAVING FUN, BUT REALLY WE WERE JUST MAKING MEMORIES. But we never had to "try" to have fun because the best memories i have came when we least expected it. I hope you know that i think about you all the time. Things wont ever be the same without you. I love and miss you so much.

Rachael Smith

I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately Chris, not to say that I don’t everyday. The summertime brings back a lot of memories, especially the beach. I can just remember us walking, (to what seemed like forever) pulling our boogie boards just to get down to the water. From all our family vacations at the beach, boogie boarding, building sand castles, my moms endless picture taking, to the fun times on the boardwalk, Kohr’s ice cream, mini golfing, the arcade, the rides and go carting. Every minute, every memory made with you lives in my heart and forever will. I’ve said it before, but my memories spent with you are some of the best times of my life. There will never be another person like you Chris. I love you and think about you all the time.

Chris, I know you aren’t here the same way as before, but you’ll always be with me. You are the first thing I think about everyday and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. I love when the littlest things spark memories I have forgotten. No words can describe the impact you have had on my life. I love you Chris and always will.

I cant think of the right words to type.. no words could ever really describe the loss of Chris... Everything is just too hard to comprehend. I'm so thankful that i was able to become as close as i did with you.. I will never forget any of the memories that Chris, Nick, you two, and me had on all of those soccer trips,.. Im so glad that i have so manyy memories of us all to look back on and smile about, i would never give that up for anything. I feel like i have grown so close to you over the years and all of u will always have a close place in my heart.. Your in my thoughts and prayers.. i love u guys...





Chris--- its so hard to describe how im feeling, i dont think any word could possibly come close to how i feel.. youre such a great guy and ill never forget any of our great times, like riding to all of our soccer games together when you and nick wouldnt stop singing "jeepers creepers" and passing the trailor parks and you guys always having a different story about a trailor, and when you,nick, ur mom and dad, and me went to the pizza place after our game and that lady walked in that weighed like 400 pounds and left with like 5 large pizzas and u guys were making fun of her, and making the coach mad and him leaving the practice.. oh my.. ill NEVER EVER forget waht nick just brought up to me the other day about when us 3 went to the football game and you said you could beat me up and we started wrestling and i kicked you sooo hard on accident in the private and you ran into the porter potty to "check urself" or the slobber stains on the pilloww.. and me,you,andy, and brett sitting in the back of those big trucks behind the school.. im so thankful i have that to look back on.. you mean so much to me, and you will always be in my heart.. and i know your looking down on all of us.. thank you for all that you have EVER done for me.. you are the greatest .. and you always will be.. i love you and i miss you terribly chris <3 --...untill we meet again...

Dear Dan, Marcia, Zack and Nick,



Your family has been such an important part of our lives and always will be. You've been more like family than just friends. The tragic loss of dear Chris has left us all with such an emptiness in our hearts. He touched our lives with sunshine and laughter and has taught us all how to enjoy life to the fullest. We were so fortunate to have spent one of the most precious times in a families life together. Vacations! What wonderful memories we all have. We looked after each others kids like they were our own. We will never forget the many other fun times we spent together with Chris. Such as New Years Eve, Super Bowl parties, The Lake Club, summer cookouts, our rainy trip to Busch Gardens, Hershey Park and the list goes on. From all the times we spent with your family we witnessed first hand how very much you love your boys. They have been so lucky to have such loving, caring and supportive parents. Chris, without a doubt, knew how very much he was loved. Jim was so honored to have been his sponsor for confirmation and we all know Chris is in God’s tender care now. We will forever cherish in our hearts and minds the many wonderful memories we had with Chris. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of his life. We are here for all of you, so please lean on us.



With Love and Sympathy,

Jim, Laura, Jon and Rachael

Chris,

I had a lot of fun times with you over the years. From getting you started on Magic cards and aquariums to getting all muddy in the pond near your house to the fun we had in Wildwood, on New Year's, during the Super Bowl, and at the Lake Club, I will never forget you. When I think about the fact that you're gone it makes me want to cry, but whenever I remember your life, all I can do is smile. Something will always feel missing until we meet again. I've been praying for you, and I know you've been praying for all of us too. I love you man, rest in peace.

Dear Dan, Marcia, Zack, and Nick,

I am so fortunate to have grown up with Chris. I hold many fond memories in my heart. I’ll look back on all our good times together and smile because those were some of the best days of my life. Our summer vacations at Wildwood, summer cookouts, The Lake Club, New Years Eve, Superbowl parties, swimming in your pool, games of capture the flag, wrestling matches and the list goes on and on. These wonderful memories will forever live in my heart. Chris was truly a one of a kind kid. His smile and friendly personality were his trade marks. He enjoyed life and lived it to its fullest. The sorrow I have from losing him is eased a little knowing he is in God’s care now, but my heart still aches wanting him here with us. I’ll love you always Chris, and until we meet again I’ll savor our memories.



Love Always,

Probably the nicest, whole-hearted guys that I've ever known. Not even words can describe how much that I miss him. Chris was one of my brothers best friends. They had a special "bond" I guess you could say when they were together. I loved him like a brother. Sometimes I didn't act like it, but I knew I cared about him. The one thing about Chris, I could never get mad at him, whenever I was around him, I couldn't help but smile. He was great at that, making people smile, and laugh I loved that about him. Chris was no doubt one of the greatest people that I'll ever meet. Throughout the time I've known Chris, he's taught me many lessons and so much more. I won't ever forget Christopher Allen Funt. I never imagined never seeing him and his smiling face again once I got back from vacation. But God choose one great angel, and I'm sure Chris is happy up there. No one can ever take Chris's place in my heart. And if you knew him, I'm sure you'd say the same. Thanks for all the great laughs and memories. R.I.P. Chris. I will never forget you. I LOVE YOU. <3

Chris was the nicest and sweetest guy I’ve ever met. We only met in February but we soon became best friends. He always knew how to cheer me up. He was always there for me and got me through so many things. He taught me so much in the short period that we were friends. He was always so much fun to be around… especially at carnivals. It was just Friday that I was running around with him and some other people having a sword fight. I’m sorry I could not make the viewing or funeral. If I was home I would have definitely went. I will never, ever, forget the good times I had with Chris and all of the great conversations we had together on AIM late at night. I love him so much and I’m going to miss him and his laugh like crazy!



Andy, I know he’s going to get through this. Love you Andy!

Dear Marcia, Dan, Zach, and Nick,

Words cannot suffice to express the sadness and sympathy felt from losing Chris - the memories are ingrained of watching Chris give his all on the soccer field and his smiling face when the boys would get together to hang out and laugh a lot. Chris was a wonderful, spirited kid and we will miss him. May God give you strength to face each day and beautiful memories to heal and fill your hearts. Most sincerely, The Hess Family

Chris Funt..what a kid! I didn't really know him too well but we were def. becoming closer but never got as close as I wanted it to be. Chris was a great kid and always knew how to make someone feel special and loved! I know if I would have never met Chris I wouldn't have known some things I know now! It was just that Friday that I saw him for the last time at the carnival and it's a shame I wasn't in town to see him at his viewing or funeral or to say my last goodbye, but he knows that I love him anyway! I cried myself to sleep a couple of nights just thinking that Chris Funt, the goodhearted boy I knew, wouldn't be around to say one last time "That's my Aunt"..haha I love and miss him dearly! Me and my family will keep him in our prayers forever..RIP Christopher Alan Funt <333



Andy was a cool kid even though I didn't talk to him as much..I still knew him..he always told me to "Keep It Cool" so I most def. want him to Keep It Cool and get better soon! I'll def. keep him in my prayers and hope that everything works out <33



Nick..I def. want you to hang in there..Brynn told me that you were doing great and I hope it stays that way..I'll keep you in my prayers as well as your family and Andy's..Love you buddy<3

I'm not sure what happened to our message of sympathy, but we again share in your sorrow and sympathy for the lost of your son and brother, Chris. Our boys went to school with Chris and also played soccer with him. There's never the right words to take the pain away, but there are the priceless memories that will last until we all meet again. To all that knew and loved Chris, remember...



Chris is watching us all

as he has entered the gates

of heaven and saying, "This

is not goodbye but just a

friendly see you all later.



Chris, may God bless you

and be by your side always.





Sincerely in our prayers...

son's Dustin, Derek, and

Chris- I saw you yesterday for the last time. It was really hard for me even though we weren't really friends and we only talked a few times in track if at all. But you definately have changed everyones life. If you could only see how many people cried for you and came to your viewing and are signing this guestbook. Your xanga site has so many entries. Everyone is torn up about your death. It just doesn't seem fair that you were taken. Your only 14. In my opinion it's not fair. Most of us had no idea everything would be so hard. I hope your watching down on us and helping us all through this hard time. We all miss you so much. And it was so hard for me to see you yesterday. Because that's not how i should've seen you. I should've seen you smiling. Like last time i saw you. I hope you rest in peace and may God bless you. We Will all love you always and you'll always be in our hearts.
