Oh I am so heartbroken… I guess now you can hang out with my mom… you would talk on the phone to her for hours. Besides that, you were Crazy Chris and EVERYONE knew you!! You defended your friends with no hesitation. You are always my brother and I’ll miss you. Jaybols will be happy to see you! Dammit ☹️☹️☹️

I'm really gonna miss our talks. I've known you for many, many years and you were always so sweet to me. I let you stay at my house for a bit when you were down on your luck.
We really got to know each other more then and our friendship became so much stronger. Was looking forward to seeing you again when I come back. You were counting the days and couldn't wait. Sure gonna miss you. Rest in peace my friend.

Wow, man. Knew you from the Loop days. Always heard people about Crazy Chris & his shenanigans. Different stories, same unhappy ending. Then you weren't around anymore & the messed up stories went away. You reappeared almost 30 years later, in Brother Jaybo's living room. He asked you if you knew who I was by appearance alone. You didn't. When he said my name, game over. Huge hug, ginormous smile, & the genuine Friendship that I always knew.
It was like Christmas morning to a 7 year old, who got his 1st puppy, excited & happy as f##k-- I will never let that memory slip away.
You weren't a best friend -- dude, you were/are Family.
You're ability to overcome EVERYTHING that would sink most to their knees, compels me to be better, to do the best for Everyone that counts(including strangers), & I truly thank you, Brother, for the courage & the inspiration to kick Life in the ass when need be..... 😉
I love you, Crazy Chris.
Find Brother Jaybo.
It's time to RIDE FREE !!

Awe " Itty bitty buddy" as you & Scott called each other. Losing you hits hard. As far back to when I was 12 yrs old you have always been there anytime I needed you.... you defended me, stood up for me, even got in a fist fight with a dude who in your words " will know better then to f**k with my Lil sister". The memories, laughs, and great times are numerous. You were always 1 of a kind and thank you for 30 + years of friendship. Thank you for bonding with Scott the minute I introduced you two, and for always having both of our backs. We love you Itty bitty buddy and miss you already!!
