I was so shocked and sad to hear about Chris. He was one of my youth group buddies back in the day and we always had such a blast. I was so proud to see how he served our country and then went on to serve the needy. I am so sorry, John and Stacey, for your loss.

Meet Chris in a class at Camp Hope. He was having a rough day and we got to talking. He and I spent a few minutes at the cross talking and letting him get his feelings out. In truth, I needed someone to talk to as well going through my own struggle, and in his time of need was there for me as well. Chris is a larger than life character that you never forget. He was kind and caring, always showed compassion for his brothers. You are sorely missed brother, rest easy.

We are sorry Chris is gone and grieve with the Pelkeys and his friends. I will remember getting to know Chris a little at Thanksgiving get-togethers and really enjoying his laughter. He was the only person louder than Uncle David. Our children remembered this about Chris:
What do you get when you cross a pelican with a turkey? ... A Pelkey.
Much love from the Moffatt family.

Chris
I have so many funny stories and memories of how much joy Chris brought into people's lives. From youth leaders to boyscouts, to sleepovers, VBS , baptisms, Church services, softball games, and to him traveling to Ketcham to play football in the snow. The one story that I will never forget is the time when he returned from a youth convention it seems that every time he came back from these trips he was rejuvenated, his smile became bigger, his joy more infectious, and his wisdom even more powerful. I could never understand it, but I knew it was special so special he busted all his CDs in the Church parking lot just to spell JESUS in huge letters. When I went up to him and asked why he did such a crazy thing and not sell them ( I wanted to buy them) or give them away he looked at me and said " I didn't want to pass the bad emotions and negative feelings that those songs made me feel to anyone else."
I saw Chris in a new way that day I realized that everything that he did and what he was doing had meaning and a purpose behind it long before he ever put on a Army uniform. I watched him excel, speak up when everyone was silent, even if you had a conflict or an issue with him he was the first to apologize, he would make you feel special, but the greatest thing of all he was willing to share and bring us along. No more sitting in the back of the church we all went to the front. We all supported each other, we looked out for one another, Pastor Ryan trusted us and made us youth leaders. Thank you Chris for bringing us so many wonderful memories for the short time you were here. Thank you for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself, I will miss your smile and your laugh, and your strong hugs. Thank you Chris for being my friend.
Until we meet again.
