Forgive me for not writing before now. The tears don't stop long enough for me to write to you brother. Chris God put a very special man on this earth when he created you. I followed you around and idolized you my whole life, from thinking I had a pro football player and track star as a brother, to the brilliant architectural mind you had on our job sites. The deer hunts we had as young boys growing up were so memorable, to the ones we had when we got older and had young boys we taught. So many good times 4wheeling around those beautiful mountains of ours, Papa sure did teach us a lot. Growing up with the seven of us in that little house was quite an adventure and I think that's where our bonds was and will always be, and that's not even counting Mama and Papa. This still seems like a dream to me, the celebration we had for you was beautiful brother, you are a very loved person., and I can't tell you how big the hole in all our hearts is. I'm not sure how we're going to fill that, I don't really think it's possible. I just want to tell you I love you so much and thank you for everything you've done for me in my life, I miss you Chris so much., I guess you can hug Mama and Papa and Sissy for us now. I know we'll be together again, until that day you will be with me in my heart and mind every minute of every day, I love you big BROTHER!!

I will always consider Chris my friend even though so many years have come and gone. I will never forget and always cherish the backyard BBQ's, vacations, camping and hunting trips and time spent with Cody and Kellee when they were young. Life brings changes and we experienced those too! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to call Chris my friend. It is will much love that I send my sincere sympathies to Cody, Kellee, Debbie and the 'entire' Sandoval family. I have no doubt you will all miss him so very much. May you carry on his legacy, love and devotion with great pride. With love, Lari Quick-Layton formerly: Lari Winn

My beloved brother Chris was truly one of a kind. He was the best brother a girl could ever ask for — kind, sweet, funny, and full of heart. Chris had a way of making you laugh, even on the hardest days. He was an artist at heart, and everything he touched, he touched with love and care.
Chris loved his family deeply, and that love was felt in every hug and every conversation, to know Chris was to love him — his warmth, his humor, his heart.
I will think of him every time I look at the beautiful roses he planted in my garden — not knowing at the time he was leaving me a living, blooming memory of him. What a precious gift.
What a beautiful reunion it must have been in heaven. I take comfort in knowing he is now with Mom, Dad, Robyn, and all our loved ones who went before him, wrapped in peace and surrounded by endless love.
Until I see you again, my dear brother, know how much I love you and how deeply I will miss you. You will forever live in my heart.
With all my love,
Colleen
