when I was 11 years old and had been drumming for about a year uncle Chris came over. we had a bonfire out at the campsite and then we went inside and the family sat and talked on the couch. eventually uncle Chris took the guitar of the wall and started playing "over the hills and far away" by led zeppelin. I was super impressed and I asked if me and him could go into the band room in the basement and jam for a while. the guy could shred on the guitar. I was not a very good drummer at this point but I still had a great time with uncle Christian. I wish that now I'm a much better drummer I could play with him again. I miss uncle christian and I'm sorry to everyone else who lost him

So glad there is a way to help. Blessed by so many fun memories of hanging out with Noelle and Chris when they moved to Maryland. Such a special person - although he is gone far too soon, he will never be forgotten!

What a sweet smile! I will always remember the last time I spoke with Chris - that smile just radiated joy! We are so saddened that this life is dimmed by his passing but we believe that our next life will be filled with joy when we are reunited! We offer our prayers for peace and beautiful memories for Chris' family and friends.
