I was really heartbroken to hear of Chris's passing and although all of us did not hang out so much in high school, we were a pretty tight knit little community. Whenever I was home visiting my folks and driving past his new home, it made me so happy. It's a sad thing to see such a bright star go, but it I feel lucky to have known him, even in such a short amount of time. I hope you are doing well, and my thoughts go out to his family and friends. It's a tragic loss of someone taken too soon.fluffyevanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960415186187853251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501231357115295274.post-34993479459113990812013-08-06T13:23:55.981-07:002013-08-06T13:23:55.981-07:00A heartfelt tribute.

Your words serve as a reminder to tell those we care about the we love them and value them. We can honor him by keeping his memory alive with acts of kindness. More important though...talk to his children about what an awesome person he was. Let them know how important he was in your lives. Celebrate Chris every day.
