Rest is Peace sweet young man… my heart broke when I heard the news today. Your beast was too strong. That monster won. As you would always say to me - you’ve helped me more than you know! Chris, YOU helped more people than you know. I am so sorry your light has gone out. Much love to your family. ❤️

I met Chris 5 years ago at Trips Diner where we both worked in Tampa FL. Most of us who worked there happened to be in recovery, active in AA or NA. Chris and I went to meetings together and we became really close (him, my now husband and I). There’s a part in the AA book that talks about how helping others and growing with others in sobriety is the bright spot in our lives and I realized that with Chris. He was unlike anyone I’ll ever know. He had such a good heart. He was so real. When he was doing well it didn’t matter what mood I was in he could always make me laugh or feel better. I can’t say that about anyone else. When he wasn’t doing well he would call and still somehow inspire me. He was so grateful to be my friend and I feel so blessed to have had him in my life. I will always consider him to be family. I called him my cousin. I will cherish all of his long winded messages and voicemails and inspirational photos he always sent. I still can’t believe I won’t hear from him again until hopefully the next life. I did get to share the gospel with him a few times. I hope I can find that place again where you’re high on life and so grateful to be alive and sober and know God and know the people you know. I remember when Chris found that place he was so radiant and magnetic and full of Hope and Love. I hope when I find that place I’ll think of him and feel closer to him and his creator. We are praying for all of you who were lucky enough to know Chris and love him.

Chris, I will forever be proud of you because despite your struggles, you held the most beautiful personality. You kept your faith strong and always prayed. I know that God has welcomed you with open arms. I have been so blessed to know and get to learn from such a beautiful soul. May you rest in peace.

It’s always the genuinely kind souls that seem to be taken way before we feel is fair. I remember the first time I saw you. I sat behind you at Bluepoint. After I went to use the restroom and you were waiting for someone to come out. You complimented my purple hair and let me go ahead of you. It was a brief interaction that started a spark, that would eventually lead one of the brightest lights and friendship I’ve had the blessing to experience.
Thank you for always making a point to come over to say hi and let me know I am seen, and that you are rooting for me EVERY time you saw me in a meeting. All the random sporadic texts of confidence and affirmations, you would send, for almost a year, before we ever started actually spending time together. All the pictures of the sunrise or set, reminding me to slow down, put my feet on some dirt, and be grateful. You always seem to know exactly when I needed a saving grace, special souls usually have excellent intuition.
The first time we talked more than just a brief hello and a “always know I’m rooting for you” was at the HA picnic. I ran the relay barefoot and you were so intrigued and excited for me. You just radiated happiness! You were really an angel on earth. Your only goal was to bring healing and happiness. You showed me unconditional love and compassion. I am eternally blessed and grateful to have been able to know you.
I will miss hearing about your sales and the stories of different connections you make with each client. Hearing about someone’s day that you made simply being you, and over the phone no less! You will truly be missed. You had such an impact on every single person you have met.
Forever in my heart and thoughts. I hope you see the amount of people that really loved you. Family is more than just blood. I will love you always and miss you forever. Rest easy, at peace, now your suffering has ceased. Prayers to you and your family.
RIP 11/06/90~05/10/24

The first time I met Chris was in my home with my son, Sean. Chris looked so full of light with his beautiful bright eyes and smile. I like him immediately because he spoke so highly of his grandmother, dad and mom. He also talked about his catholic faith that he seemed very proud of as well. He paid close attention to Sean's grandmother which I thought was very decent for such a young man. I later met his beautiful mother, Diane, who supported me during the most difficult time of my life. She brought me a book called "Jesus calling" that helped me so much that I purchased and gave this book out to at least a dozen people since. I soon came to love Richard and Diane like family (better than some family). I tried to be helpful to Diane as I struggled like Chris in many ways. I believe we all have crosses to carry in this life time and feel Richard, Diane and Chris are warriors. In spite of all they each have endured, the love for each other was so apparent to all who knew them. They never gave up on each other. I would not wish this families struggles on anyone, but we all know most families have these problems or different, but difficult just the same. I believe everything here on earth is fleeting including our bodies. Our spirits live on forever and that's truly all that matters. We do the best we can here on earth, wear this life like a loose garment as it will all be gone. Our love for ourselves, each other and Jesus is all we can keep forever. Chris in not gone, he went home, until we meet again.

As I sit here trying to find the right words or thoughts to say from us all, there are none because you were more than just that to us. All the holidays, birthdays and just because days we shared. That big smile, that contagious laugh, that light you brought wherever you went. You will forever be apart of our lives and our hearts. May you fly high Gelly. -Sarah, Brandon, and the family.

The only solace I can find in this is that souls are eternal, and you have made such a mark in this world, like no one ever has. I will miss our random conversations about gut health and politics and your texts that reminded me how I am needed in this world. You always had a smile that looked nearly unnatural, like such a big smile at all times. I hope you knew how much that smile comforted us all.

I’m happy to have met you. I’ll miss our laughs, Ufc fight nights, car rides and all the memories. Thank you for being in my life as long as you were. I’ll keep kicking that steel pole “El cucuy” style for the both of us. I love you brother.

Dear Diane and Richard,
My very deepest sympathy to you both in the loss of your sweet, sensitive, intelligent Christopher. I fondly remember meeting him when he was two or three, and then having the pleasure of teaching him in fifth grade. May he rest in peace, and please know that both Christopher and you are in my prayers. My deepest condolences, Elizabeth Jung
