Kristopher, nothing in our family will ever be the same without you. Your voice and heart will never be forgotton. Have fun with Vovo! Heaven is indeed a lucky place to have you. The first cold beer will always be for you :) Also, remember to watch over us during the distribution of Christmas presents, not sure how we're gonna do it without you. Love and miss you.

Kristopher,
My heart aches everyday. I miss you so bad, your face, your eyes, your smile, your voice, even our fights. The house is so quiet without you. I miss you most of all at night when Dad's asleep and you and I were up until all hours. I am so lonely. They say you don't know what you have until it's gone, and that is so true with you. It was such a joy and a priveledge to be your Mom. You faced so many hurdles in your life and they broke my heart, but you faced them with such a big and forgiving heart. I wish we were all like you. I have said we all need to take a page from your book on life and forgive all and except everyone. You loved life so much and lived it the way you wanted and not how I wanted you to, and I am so very happy now you did. Your in heaven now saying "I told you so, Mom".
I bet you had no idea how many lives you touched, did you? What an amazing and special man we raised and didn't even realize it until it was to late. There are 3 people that you gave the gift of life to, they are so lucky to have you with them all the time. I will spend the rest of my life keeping you alive in all your nieces and nephews lives. They miss you terribly. I will always have burritos, hot pockets and pizzas for them. We wanted you here with us forever, but that just wasn't God's plan. I know your with Vo Candy. I think he was lonely and you can keep him company and talk his ear off and make his drinks. Please watch over all of us, and know that I have loved you with all my heart everyday of your life, and I will love you everyday of my life. My heart breaks with wanting to give you one more hug. I love you and miss you son. Mom

Kris- First off I would like to thank you for always being so good to the family. You were nothing but good to everyone and you would always go out of your way to stop and talk to us. I know I can't speak for everyone but I took those conversations for granted. You were the best at bringing a smile to someones face and being so loving and caring came so easy to you. I can honestly say that I've never met someone that was as proud as the family as you. I know the family functions won't be the same without you there. They say that you always learn something when some passes and in this case we all learned how very special you were. I will always miss you and the great person that you were. Thanks for all the memories and thanks for always making everyone feel so special. I couldn't have asked for a better cousin you were one of a kind. I love you.

Kristopher> Ever since i've known you, you have had the biggest heart ever and you would do anything for anybody and that was so cool. You were more than a brother in law, you were more like a brother. I'm glad we got to experience alot of things together over the 4 years i've known you. Nascar was a blast, and disneyland was unforgetable...i am remembering when we got the wii for Christmas and we played all night and finished dripping sweat! Those are the kind of memories i will cherish forever. Kristopher, you are gone from this earth, but will never be forgotten, especially in this household...Alexis and Zach miss you terribly and look forward to seeing you again.
Thanks Kristopher,

Kristopher- It’s been over a month, and it still doesn’t seem real. The hole that is left in everyone heart will never be filled. We miss you every day and think of you all the time. My kids looked up to you and wanted to be just like you when they grow up. Now that I sit back and think of the kind of man you grew up to be, I would be so proud if any of them grew up with a hear like yours. You and I shared so many things, from birthday parties to secrets you were always around. I am so thankful to have you as my brother and you have taught all of us to live our lives to the fullest. I love you and miss you. Always.

August 5, 2011

Kristopher, where do I begin? We will miss you dearly and we want you to know you were loved by all who met you. I will never forget you were the first of Duane's family to call me "Ti Cheryl" and you welcomed me with open arms. Duane is soo thankful for the trips he got to take with you and your dad which he enjoyed greatly. We always enjoyed all of your stories and you always seemed to amuse us. You were always so kind to Colton and always included him in your conversations. The family parties and get togethers will never be the same without you! We love you and will see you agains when you welcome us into heaven.... Love Cheryl & Duane

Kristopher, words can't explain how much I miss you. When I moved in down the street from you, I told you you could come by whenever you wanted, and you were over here all the time, and I loved every visit. We all grew up so close and I always considered you and your sisters, my brother and sisters. I always tried to be a good big brother. Looking back, you were more of an older brother figure to me than I ever was to you. When ever I needed something, you were always there. Wheather it was watching the kids for me, helping me move, or just sitting and talking to me when I needed a shoulder to cry on. I knew I could always count on you. You were more than a good cousin or good brother. You were a great friend. I miss you so much. Even though I know heaven is a better place with you there, my heart is just as empty without you in it. I know that someday I'll see you again, and I know you'll be there waiting for me with that huge smile. Untill that day, I hope you know that I miss you with every ounce of my soul and you were the best cousin, brother, and friend I could ever ask for. I love you very much.

Dear Kristopher, I hope you know how much I love you and that you gave the meaning to having a little brother. All the fighting, laughing, teasing and some of my most biggest secrets you kept without ever having to worry about ANYONE finding out. We both had flaring tempers and still big hearts. You are the best Godfather a little girl could have ever asked for. Alexis loves you so much. You made me a proud big sister. Not only were you always there for me and Brent but you were the best brother Zachary could ever ask for. I miss you terribly. It saddens me so much that my Kaleb Candido never was able to meet you or Vovo personally but He sure will know how awesome you guys both are. You will NEVER be gone in this house! I will leave you some purple flowers for you to shake your head at me while looking down on us. We all knew you were just a Brett Frave fan. LOL!!! I love you so so so much and like Tia Kathy said... I loved you every day of your life and will miss you every day of mine. See you again someday. Please watch over us all we are lucky to have an angel like you To protect us. Again, Kristopher i love and miss you. Your Big Sis!
