To Dawn, Al and Jo and family, our deepest sympathy on the passing of Chris. He fought bravely and now rests at peace with God. May you find peace in knowing that he is now whole and celebrating with the saints.

So many of my childhood memories are wrapped around Chris and his family from a very early age. Playing with his erector set, lincoln logs, board games, hide-n-seek, we had so fun and got into trouble, as cousins will do. Our parents didn't have much money, but we always came up with plenty of ideas, always trying to get rid of our younger siblings. Chris was such a fun and kind person, and those were traits that followed him into adulthood. I will always remember the day he came over and said "you'll never guess what I'm doing this weekend!" He had made the decision to be baptized. I was so happy for him, and will always be thankful that he met such a wonderful woman, Dawn, who gave him so much joy - and guided him toward a relationship with the Lord. God had a plan for Chris back then, and He has prepared a special place for him in his heavenly home. What a blessed assurance! My prayers and thoughts are with Dawn and family and Uncle Al & Aunt Jo, Scott & Sue and their family. In His Love & Peace
I will always remember Chris's smile....and him being such a fighter...he fought a good fight and is now in God's hands...rest in peace Chris.
We were all hoping and praying that God would have given you earthly healing, but today we do rejoice that you are experiencing a heavenly healing. We love you and will see you again.
