Oh how hard this has been to accept.  No matter what condition you were in, you still had that genuine smile and caring heart. Always knew right from wrong. Even though you had to add "but" to every conversation and situation. I will miss our deep conversations that I tried to have with you so many times. The tears we shared together recently and the hugs you gave every time you were here. Coming & going. You had to give a hug upon arrival and a hug as you were leaving. 
I hope everyone that had the pleasure of knowing you remembers the good times and the bad. Because no matter what we seen, it was all in good intentions and the ones who really knew you, seen deeper than what was standing in front of us. Your heart was pure. Your soul was filled with the Lord.  I got to hear you speak about heaven and I know you had your own private relationship with Him. The tears that ran down your face when we talked about it was enough to tell me you believed.  I love you friend.  You will be missed so much. Soddy will be a darker place without you. Rest easy. Go find Rollins and tell him all about how we kept his memory alive just as we will do yours here on earth. See you later .......... not goodbye.

Chris was like a son to me. We had many talks over the years. He will definitely be missed by many.

Chris was one of the coolest and funniest people I've ever been around Chris would do anything to help anyone,he was a good friend  I'll miss you my buddy      .  Your friend Jimmy Smith
