I am really not too good with these things. I met Chris thru Nick B. and had a blast every time I was around him. He made me laugh and he was nothing but nice to me and leaves me nothing but completely heart broken. I will miss you. I love you, guy.

Chris was a truly wonderful individual. He always made me laugh and brightened my day when I was down. And oh, he was sweet. Definitely one of the sweetest men I have and will ever know. He will be missed greatly. I do deeply regret not spending as much time with him as I would have liked. I am truly sorry for your loss, and Chris will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

We only met Chris a couple times in his coming and going with Tanner, we liked him immediately. Tanner taked about Chris all the time. Our younger son Teague was in a chemistry class with Chris and also found him easy to like. We offer our sympathies and hope the good memories and your faith is a source of strength for you.
