I still think of you often Chris.
You are that friend that made me feel like a child again, because we would laugh so hard that we would cry. You always made things so exciding and fun. To me, you had no issues or struggles, this is not who you are...... you were a loyal, understanding person that took no prisoners if someone was to dishonor his family or friends. That is what I call a man, a properly raised Son, amazing Brother, and the most remarkable best friend.
You have always had my highest respect through the good and hard times..... I miss you!

It's been almost two weeks and I still don't have the right words. I don't want you to be remembered only for your struggles because that is not who you were to me. You were a supportive, loving brother, proud uncle and a great friend! You had a big smile, bigger heart, quick wit and a fun personality. I miss you little brother :( May your smile shine brighter and your heart be lighter. Keep "peeking" in on us!

Pat, Larry and families;
We are so very saddened to hear of the passing of Chris. We remember him as a young lad who was a kind, respectful, fun-loving hockey player and piano student who always had a glint in his eye and an amazing smile. It is so difficult to understand the inner turmoil within when a person in the prime of life hurts so bad. Loved ones and friends feel so helpless watching and yet are able to only do so much. We hope you are able to take some comfort remembering the loving times you shared as a family and know that you raised a wonderful person. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Molly and John

Lighting a candle for you little brother because neither one of us liked the darkness. I'm so proud of how you battled your addictions; you never gave up on yourself after a fall and for that i am both grateful and proud. I love you to the moon, back and beyond. Rest in peace buddy.

Dear Chris:
If I could have a lifetime wish and one dream that could come true
I would pray to God with all my heart just to see and speak to you.
A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I tried
And neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart and precious memories too
But I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

My sympathies to Sandra, Chris's family and friends on your loss of this very special person. I only met Chris once when Sandra and I ran into one another in a store a few years ago. But she shared some funny stories of him and he was obviously a very dear man to all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. May Chris finally be at peace at this time.
Having been one of the teachers in Chris’s life I no doubt share with you the way he could always make me laugh. Chris had a big smile and even bigger heart. I remember in grade 9 gym class Chris when we were making teams for games he would let me know that in Lions Head, they play shirts vs skins. I learned so much for that group of boys!!!

Oh my goodness, Larry, Pat, Sandy, Shawna, and Lori. I am so sorry for your loss. Chris was Earl's classmate, hockey, and baseball mate. He spent time here with Earl and the guys from his class. And then everyone seemed to go their separate ways.
My deepest sympathy to all of you. Now maybe Chris's way has been found. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
