How you can help

Chris left us on May 24, 2023. We need to raise the money for his burial as he didn’t have any kind of life/final expense insurance.

I want to save him from being cremated, he didn’t want that. We would like to lay him to rest with his “Mama”….Chris was my Granny’s whole heart, her baby boy, and I need to do this for both of them.

Chris was the uncle growing up that would play “You can’t always get what you want” on his guitar when my sister or I would cry or whine for something that we wanted. He frequently showed us all the “magic tricks” like the rubber pencil, walking the dog with the yo-yo, the thumb severance and more. I remember growing up in the 80s hearing him laugh so hard as he watched his favorite TV reruns such as, Sanford and Son, Munsters, What’s Happening and more. He fed me mushrooms as a kid and I loved them ❤️. That was our thing I’d beg him for more Green Giant mushrooms and we enjoyed them together. I remember everyone hanging out at the pool or his many friends coming to hang on the porch with him or shoot some hoops on Placid st. Most importantly though his skills as a guitarist made him the most prolific I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching develop and play.
He loved my children so much. He called my son “ Mufasa” and was absolutely sure my oldest daughter possessed the playing and singing talents to take her to the top and he often nurtured that by showing her cords and such. Chris enjoyed being together as a family at the beach every year growing up. He longed for that to happen again. We will forever feel this loss/grief in our family. For me it’s like the last heart that reminded me of my granny is gone.

Please help us give him a proper burial. My sweet uncle deserves that so much.
