I am so saddened by the passing of Chris Loundas. He was the son of a dear friend and mentor, Marc and also a fellow 82nd Airborne trooper.  My desire for strength goes out to Marc and Margaret.

I can't believe a year has gone by since you passed. You were so happy it seemed in the 42nd airborn. You were like a brother to me sitting at the table and recalling your mission stories. I always had to prompt you to talk. Then obligingly you did. I miss your stories friend!

It seems like a million years ago that Chris knocked on my door to invite us to a cookout at his house that forged friendships that last to this day. From working on the Monte Carlo to not paying attention to the tides while camping on the beach, always an adventure! 

Godspeed Paratrooper
Airborne all the way!

I had the pleasure of working for Chris's Dad, Marc, at Starleigh Entertainment and always enjoyed speaking with a very young man named Chris who would stop into the agency from time to time. 

I lost touch with him after I moved on, but I must say how honored I am to see that he was in the same 82nd Airborne Division as I and I applaud his courage and perseverence, as getting one's wings is not an easy task.

My heart aches for Marc and Margaret, two amazing people who I know loved their son more than anything. 

RIP Trooper!

Christopher was a great friend and wonderful cousin and I will miss him always!! He will always be in my heart. We had great times together.

When Dad, Theresa, and I moved in with you, Aunt Pie and Uncle Marc, we were so little and it always felt like a party whenever you were there. I always looked up to you like the cooler, older cousin. Whenever you would pick me up from school or when you took me to school stuff, I always felt special and cool by association. I always had so much fun spending time with you and having our special chats. I will always remember the day you took me out to Loch Raven with your friends and you told me it was our little secret. I have so many more special memories from when we were in the big house and you were chasing Emily and I around in your Halloween costume. We really thought you were a vampire. I even remember ratting you out with Theresa. You were more like an older brother during those times.  But as we got older and life got in the way,  we didn't see you as much, but whenever I did - you always maintained that fierce sense of humor and the ability to make light of any situation. We all will miss you so much and we will take your memory with us as we try to make sense of our loss. I hope you find peace, but you have left a big hole in the hearts of the ones you leave behind. Even though we won't be able to see you, I know you will be with us wherever we go.   I love you so much and am so happy to have been able to call you family. XOXOXO

While working for Marc at Starleigh Entertainment, I met Chris and found him to be a great guy. Through the years I lost touch with him and to know that he followed in my footsteps by joining the fabled 82nd Airborne made me respect him all the more. 

My heart breaks for his immediately wife and children and condolences go out to Marc and Margaret, two amazing parents who loved Chris totally.

RIP Trooper!

You made me laugh so many times Christopher ! Thank You ! May you rest in peace.

We only met a few times but I remember your spirit R.I.P your in my prayers.

Chris, a man for others at his own peril. 
Requiescat in pacem. 

 I have some very fond memories of you, Christopher. Like Christmas time last year when I got a chance to sit and talk with you for a bit and you showed me those old pictures of you, or more recently when you were over for dinner and you and Dad were joking around the dinner table. I know Dad loved you like a brother. And although we may not have seen each other as often as I would have liked, I shall always cherish those simple memories, and I shall miss you dearly.
     Please watch over us and when you wish upon a star, I'll know you're not far!! ⭐⭐

Christopher gave me two beautiful gifts- Elizabeth and Jordan.  I will forever be thankful! 
Chris’ love of cooking, music, having people come together, playing cards, horse shoes,  camping, and being near the ocean were just a few of the things he loved especially when we lived in Fayetteville.  He loved being a soldier. He loved his dog. He loved his Monte Carlo. He loved his family. 
I know he has finally found his peace in heaven. 
He will live forever in his daughter and son. Xo

Chris you were the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I remember the time that the church was replacing the fence and you were looking for help. So I came to help and you told me thank you for Rangering up. Till this day I tell everyone to Ranger up meaning don’t be afraid to help some one out cause it will always come back to you in more ways then one.  Chris was a champion in more ways then one. If anyone should have a executive wing or ward named after them it should be Chris. I’ll miss you in more ways then one. Thank you for making me the man, husband friend and father that I am today I will always remember to show mercy to everyone cause you taught me that where mercy is shown mercy is given.
