Don’t grieve for me, for I’m free, Do not feel your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life has been full, I’ve savored much, good friends, good times and that of a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time has seemed all too brief. Please don’t lengthen it now with grief, instead lift up your hearts and share with me, remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles and the good times we had. I’ve only gone to rest for awhile, although my leaving causes pain and grief, dry your eyes and remember me, not as I ‘am but as I used to be. Because, I will remember you all and look at you with a smile. Understand in your hearts, I’ve only gone to rest awhile. As long as I have the love of all of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you, till we meet again.

The best things in life were wrestling, BMX, guitars and playing music.

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another. Chris journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take at some point. Chris song has ended, but the melody of his life lingers on through us all.

The family invites you to join them to continue to celebrate Chris's life at Diamond's Billiards from 3:00pm to 6:00pm.

In Lieu of flowers there is a GoFund Me set up for donations to Gulf Coast Humane Society.
