I knew Chris since we were in the 2nd grade together back at East York Elementary. Throughout the course of our school career, we were never very close friends, but we'd always say hi to each other. After we left YSHS in 2003, I saw Chris several times, and it was always great to catch up. When I learned of his death, it hit me really hard for someone I barely knew. I feel really lucky to have known Chris, and I'm really upset that he's gone.

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane;
I would walk right up to Heaven,
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye";
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow;
What it meant to love you,
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me,
to mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today;
A hollowed place within my heart,
is where you'll always stay.

I'm sorry to hear of the loss to your family. May he rest in peace.

Shock and sadness overcame me as I learned of Chris's death. I was fortunate to be Chris's fourth and fifth grades teacher and enjoyed having him in class very much. His sense of humor brought smiles to many, and he continually impressed me with his dedication and hard work. He will be missed.

Chris was so full of life and had a huge heart. What seperated him from most the people I know is how hard he tried. His loss will be felt by so many for such a very long time.
