Needless to say I was shocked and sadden to hear of your passing. I was just thinking about calling to see how things were going for you. You truly were a great friend and a loving father and husband. We always would talk about your family, guns and dogs and other great life stories. I did and do value your friendship and you will be sorely missed.

Chris was like a mentor to me. He was so smart, accepting, and mature; even if his humor was pretty dark sometimes haha! Respected and missed my friend =)
I will mourn for Chris as I would family.
