I only met Chris a few times but it was apparent how much he loved Tom and how happy he made him. This absolutely tears my heart apart. I know he is loved and missed dearly by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
When I met Chris, he was super friendly and welcoming. He was this fun-loving guy with a great sense of humor. I didn't realize it at the time (and he probably didn't either), but when he gave me his collection of bejeweled cross necklaces, he was asking me to keep his faith. I had my own struggles with faith, so when I discovered his strong views on atheism, I understood. I never got the chance to tell him that I kept his faith for him. I believe that he is happy and that he is watching over Tom and Rachael.
I met Chris at Delta Dental where we grew quickly into friends. He was bright bubbly & always full of energy. I loved his openness about his life & admired his confidence. He shared his love of family with me. Often we spoke about Tom, Rachel, Dad, all his family & his dogs. Chris had a big heart & lots love. I'm grateful to have known him. He taught me great life lessons that I will cherish.
I have so many fun memories with you. We could spend hours just laughing about everything! Some of the best times were singing along to your Dolly Parton records, dancing to Blondie and making up our own disco dances! You were an awesome dancer Christopher, even on roller skates. I am so thankful for all of the memories. I love you and am going to miss you so much.
I have too many memories to count. We went on a cruise in 2008 with the family. There was a tropical storm in the Cayman Islands so daddy and I didn’t even bother getting off the boat with the rest of the family. We ate at the buffet all day, and ate way too much pineapple lol, then we went back to our cabin and napped the rest of the day. It was just us and I didn’t realize it at the time how precious it was to me. I love u and I miss u terribly.
