We have been dear friends of Chris for many years. He was such a good person. Tim and Chris worked together at one time and become good friends. Chris had a deep love for his family. He spoke often of his girls with loving words. His beautiful son, the apple of his eye always kept him busy. We are so sorry for your loss. I hope that his children will always know or will be told that their father was a very good person who loved them with all he had and would give them the world if he could. To Chris’s mother, may God give you the strength to continue to face tomorrow. You must be a very strong woman. To his wife,Vicki stay strong and know that Chris loved you very much and through his son you will always have Chris with you. May God bless your family

I am a friend of Chris from his Woodfin days in middle-school/high-school. I have vivid memories of his contagious laughter and big smile. I also remember he was tough when he needed to be, but was mostly a big-hearted Teddy-bear (He’d probably punch me for saying that).
As much as my heart aches for dear memories of childhood lost with Chris’ passing, My heart breaks for his Loved Ones. You have my deepest condolences. I am thankful to read how Mark wrote that Chris had gotten Saved. That means everything. I pray you all receive absolute comfort in the knowledge that Chris was right with God, and his life points our paths also to God. Honor Chris by following his example.
Chris was one of my best buds ever. I love him, and will miss him always.

God Bless you all. This is a huge loss. Chris will always live in our heart.

Wishings God’s comfort for your family. May God be with you always to sustain you day by day. May you find comfort in his words and in the knowledge that others sympathize with you in your loss.
Romans 15:4 says ‘…through the comfort from the scriptures we might have hope.’
Since this may be one of the hardest things any of us will ever have to cope with, the scriptures offer hope. Pointing to a glorious time, the bible says, ‘God will actually swallow up death forever, and Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.’
Vicki,
You will always have our love and concern for you and Cooper. You know our sympathy for your loss. We will keep you, Cooper, and the entire family in our prayers.
Vicki –
You and Cooper are in my thoughts and prayers. Know you are loved!

Dear Dad,
I love you so much. I miss you every day, and i have had some what of a hard time these past few months dealing with your death. I wish that i could see your face just one last time to say goodbye, and to tell you that you were a wonderful father. You leaving was such a shock, we had no idea that it was coming; it was like one day i was laughing and talking to you on the phone, and the next day you were gone. Every day i ask myself if it’s really true, are you really never coming back? I feel like one day you will just show up on my door step and surprise me and summer, and tell us that you won the lottery and moved away, but now your back to get us, and take us away from it all… you used to always tell us you would do that one day. I don’t want you to be sad that you left us, and i don’t want to be sad myself. In some weird and unexplainable way, this tragedy is a part of God’s great plan, and im sure e has told you so by now. Everyday i remember your smile, and your laughter… i can hear it in my head now. Never, will i forget how great of a man you were, and how special you are to my life. I will always be a Daddy’s girl! Whenever need something to remember you by, i am going to gaze into the mountains, because that is where you live, and always have. I hope that my love echoes all the way up to where you are, and i know that i feel your love and protection radiating over me everyday. I am so grateful that you are relieved of your troubles, and that you are now forever under God’s wing. I ask that you send that trademark smile down to all of us once in a while, and that you come around in spirit every now and then. I am so proud to call myself your daughter, and i look forward to making you very proud of me! I don’t know when i will be able to see you again, but i know that i will one day, and on that day i will give you the biggest bear hug possible! I love you daddy, we all do. I hope your doing well.<3
Daddy i miss you so much.
