Sad times for sure. Please except my deepest regards. Praying for all who has lost and those who will need to go on without you. Chris you must watch over your family as they start to move forward without you.
This is not an easy task for anyone especially the Children. I can say this, time is to special and short to waste. God please help the families come together and have the strength to focus on the Kid’s feeling’s and future. I love all of you. R.I.P. Chris ! Watch over them today.

My deepest condolences go to your family friends and children Chris. You will be profoundly missed. You were a great person and always a blast to be around. Always full of energy, and never failed to put a smile on everyone’s face. Hanging around with you just being goofy were some of the best times of my life and you certainly helped me through some tough times. I appreciate every laugh we shared and every moment we spent together just being young and having fun. Forever in my thoughts and prayers.
