To the Marietta Family,
I knew Chris from a young age. I attended Pauline Memorial and he went to DR. We become better friends at St. Mary's. I remember him as a VERY funny
guy. He was always cracking jokes and had a smile on his face. He was also a talented baseball player as I recall.
I didn't keep up with him after high school....I wish I had. I wish his family my since condolances and prayers.
RIP Chris......your humor and smile will be missed.
Once a Pirate......always a Pirate!

Mindy,
Mere words aren't enough to express my sorrow for your loss. I have always considered Chris a special friend and will miss our outings together, his quick wit and unique personality. I lost my Dad in January this year and this is a hard pill for me personally to swallow. I will think of Chris every time I tee it up.

Chris, I know that we lived across the country and didn't talk as much as we should, but you were such a good guy and I know Maverick looked up to you so much. All the Mariettas are holding your memory close and I'm sure going to miss you. For Maverick: Auntie Cyndi says hi from afar and I hope to see you in Colorado in just a few days. Chris always talked about what a smart kid you are and I'm proud to be your aunt. Hang in there, bud. There are so many people who love you. Soooo many. Grandpa and Grandma can't wait until you visit in the summers, either. You lighten their days.
