Christopher Condron Obituary

Chris has been on my mind so hard lately. I like to think he is visiting me so I talk to him and thank him for his friendship, laughter and for his love of family and friends. I miss him so much and he will forever be a part of my life.

Mark, I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your brother. Please know we are thinking of you and your family.

It is difficult to understand why someone who had such a zeal for life could be taken at such a young age. Chris was always smiling and joking around to lighten the mood, and was a likeable person that was easy to befriend. He had a firm foundation of what was right and wrong that his parents had instilled in him, in which he would return to despite whatever obstacles that he may have faced in his life.

All of which are admirable qualities, but one that always stood out to me was his unwavering resolute to summon his courage from within and stand up for what he believed to be right. He would hold his ground despite whatever odds he may have faced; a lesson that I learned from Chris over twenty-five years ago, and incorporated into my own life.

A portion of the light in this world was extinguished with Chris’s passing, and he will truly be missed by all that knew him. Chris wouldn’t want people to mourn his loss. He would want them to rejoice in his life, but somehow that makes it that much more difficult for those that were close to him. My deepest sympathies go to his family and his closest friends.

I would like to think that in those last moments the Almighty looked to Chris and said
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name; you are Mine!” - Isaiah 43:1

Cousin Chris, I remember all the holidays spent with you at Mimi and Grampy's house and how excited I was to see you everytime. I was equally excited to see you and your Dad last year when you came to Ventura to visit. You are the coolest cousin anyone could have and a truly great person. I remember bragging to all my friends about how you were the best guitar player ever! You will be dearly missed. Love you man, give Aunt BJ, Aunt Jan, Mimi, and Grampy a huge hug for me. See you soon.....

Chris, I was watching a video that Uncle Mike put together, of a family vacation years ago when you were still a teenager, crazy hair, excited, living life like it was something worth experiencing to the fullest. I smiled often as I watched you, acting silly, smiling, getting others to laugh. That's something I hear that you did a lot of throughout your 40 years on this terrestrial ball. Our life paths have not crossed often, and for that I have regrets, but I think that much of the things you've gotten to experience many people would love to have been you, seeing and doing and living. While your days have come to an end, the lives you've touched keep going, and smiles will still appear on their faces as they remember your humor and enthusiasm. I love you cuz.

Chris,
You were one of my first friends. Thanks for accepting me and giving me perspective. You taught me to rebel sometimes....something I didn't know how to do. I will never forget you!

My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Chris.

Chris, you will be greatly missed and thought of often. I know you are watching us all and it's good to know you always will be.

Chris, you will be missed dearly and thought of often. I know you will be keeping an eye on all of us and it is comforting to know you are always there.

Bob, I never know Chris personally but I heard about both he and Mark from B.J. when she taught me in 6th grade at Jefferson Elementary back in 91-92. I am so very sorry for your loss. If he was anything like his mom I know he had a great heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Chris kept me up way too late one night at the 94 Olympic Festival in Denver talking sports, music, our previous lives in Texas and life in general. There were far too few of those nights, but I'm grateful for those we had. I know Chris is with BJ now & they're up talking late into the night.

I know that its been many years but I remember Chris being a kind soul and had a smile that lit up the room! He was a good friend and will be missed my heart goes out to his family & friends

Chris, my dear cousin, you lived life to the fullest. You were one of the most passionate people I have ever known. You had the gentlest, kindest, most loving heart. You touched our lives and hearts! You had the most remarkable smile :-) We are so thankful we got to see you just days ago. Remember when we hugged goodbye...We said "I love you, man. I'll see you soon." Well cous' we will see you again soon! Until then you look out for my mom and our BJ. Enjoy all the chocolate cake and good food you want. Maybe Mimi will make you some of her famous spanish rice :-) Enjoy playing your guitar with the angel choir. We will miss you ever so very much! Thank you for the love you filled our lives with. Uncle Bob, Mark, we love you both so much and are praying for you. May God grant you peace,courage, and comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both! Knowing where Chris is and who he is with makes this a little more bareable. Know that your loss is heaven's gain. Love you guys!!!

Uncle Bob and Mark. To say we are sorry for your loss is an understatement. Our prayers are with you and we wish we could be there to celebrate the life Chris shared with you and with those if us that knew him. He will be missed and we pray that with all the trials you have had to endure, that God will truly grant you peace during this trying time of loss...

Many times over the years you have crossed my mind and my heart. I am truly saddened that we were not able to keep in touch better over the years.

I remember fondly the times we spent hanging out and talking when we were growing up and then as adults we could pick up our conversation just like we had seen each other yesterday.

You will still walk across my mind and heart until our paths cross again.

You will be missed by many, but you will be held in our hearts forever.

I am keeping your family in my prayers.

You will always be in my heart christopher! and all the good times we've had the last 18yrs we have known each other Rest in Peace brother

Chris had a smile to light up the world. I will miss him. My sympathy to his family and friends on your loss. Peace is at last his.

chris, I remember geting to know you our senior year at AAHS, in my yearbook you wrote that you wished we had gotten to know eachother sooner...I wish that too! I have many fond memories of having many deep conversations about the "meaning of life" with you, I know you are in a better place now and the possibilities are endless!! Rest in peace!

This world won't be the same without you in it Chris. What fond memories I have of our teenage years! From celebrating our birthdays together to the many "functions" we attended. You will always be in my heart. What an impression you left. Thank you.

Our journey will be a little less bright without Chris, who always worked hard to bring sunshine into the lives of friends and strangers alike. I take comfort in the thought that he's now arm in arm with his mother, helping her watch over Bob and Mark. Rest in peace, my friend.

You will be missed always such a kind heart...rest in peace Chris

My life will never be the same without my dear, sweet, best friend Christopher. He brought so much joy and laughter to my son James and I. He was a kind, gentle man who loved his family and close friends dearly- with all his heart, who thought his dad was the best thing since sliced bread, who was devastated to have lost his mom so soon. Forever in my heart and most cherished memories my dear friend Chris. Lost but most certainly NEVER forgotten and loved.

Rest in Peace my Brother
