Our family has the warmest memories of seasons spent with Chris as the boys grew up together on the baseball field. Mitsuyo, our hearts are with yours. Our deepest condolences to you, Christopher and Cameron. 

Praying for your family ~ Laene, Dustin, Gavin and Logan Keith 

Our family was so saddened to hear the news of Chris. He was such a mild-mannered and kind soul. I never remember seeing him without a smile. Our families shared a summer of baseball where so many great memories were made. I wish I had seen him and his family more recently before his passing. Mitsuyo, Christopher and Cam, we are so sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our prayers. Much love and go Dawgs!

I will always remember his gentle spirit. He had a way of making everyone feel seen, valued, and at ease—his kindness was genuine and real. Christopher had an extraordinary gift for making people feel loved unconditionally.

His candor extended to everyone lucky enough to cross his path. The world was simply better with him in it.

I am so deeply grateful to witness his quiet strength, his compassion, and his kindness. He leaves behind a legacy of love and grace that will stay us always.

With all my love and deepest sympathy, we will miss you so much.

It was my privilege having Chris on the Supply Chain team for approximately 20 years, starting at Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and later with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.  Chris was an exceptional employee, an outstanding individual and a dear friend.  The growth we faced in our industry over the years was tremendous and the technological advancements in our medical and capital products was a continuous challenge in providing the best options for the doctors and their teams treating our children.

Chris impressed me many times, but most especially when he was willing to go the extra mile to assist others; whether it was sharing his knowledge or helping a coworker with a task or project.  I could always count on Chris and remember him most easily by the smile he so often wore.   He was dedicated to his wife and family.

I am deeply saddened by his loss, and I am grateful to have known such a strong and kind soul, and to have received his support and good humor along life’s journey.  Rest in peace my friend, and may God bless your family with peace of mind, good health and prosperity.

We were so very  sorry to hear about Chris’s passing.  He was a great friend and we always enjoyed the times we shared with Chris, Mitsuyo and the boys at Little League baseball games, travel baseball games, High School baseball games and especially the Little League World Series the summer of 2019.  Chris had such a giving heart and never hesitated to offer to pick up Blake and drive him to practice or those early morning  away baseball games.  Sending our love and heartfelt condolences.
