Just crossed my mind today and I missed you. I didn’t have enough time sharing your awesome spirit. You are loved and missed.

Thank you for all of the contagious dance moves, the impromptu duets, the hilarious commentary, the closed eyed giggling fits, the willingness to share, the brotherly comfortable times spent just hearing things and talking about them. Thanks for taking care of me when I needed it, and for letting me help you when you needed it. I miss you so much. If like to think that you were at ALL the shows, all the time now. 


many memories. True example how music can bring so much positive energy. Love n light Chris!   In Lak'ech 

Not having the chance to enjoy living in the west with you has totally sucked. We think about you every day. Love you forever, man. 

I finally sort of like Phish....just thought you'd like to know. Wish you could take me to my first show!

I love you and miss you so so much. I wish you could've seen the new Star Wars and X men apocalypse with me

In the woods, meadows, and mountains, along the shores of rivers, lakes, and oceans, we will carry you in thought, and there some of the energy and spirit you shared with us, multiplied by the joys in our lives, will settle to live eternal and unending. Thank you for sharing your spirit with us so freely.

Thank you Chris for loving my cousin. I know we only met once but I also know you made her happy and that's priceless. Dance. Be free. Shine on. Peace

My best memory of Chris was one Thanksgiving when the rest of the family went out of town. He and I stayed back and watched the Vikings and Lions play. We had Tiger Shrimp and beer...too many good times to mention.

There are no words to express just how missed you will be.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures with us.   We are deeply saddened to hear about Chris. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.  Sending you lots of love...

I'll miss you man keep on jamming wherever you may be now my friend.

Love and Light.  Somehow we never connected after you escaped florida for Colorado.  Always thought there'd be another time or another show.  Love Light Strength and Wellness to LeeAnne and all of your family and friends.

Words can not express our sorrow on hearing about Chris.  Tom and want to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayer.

When I think of Chris, I think of spirit, joy, hockey, music; but most of all, the love that he shared with LeeAnne and the girls (not to forget Keala, too!).  Your family is in my heart and I pray for strength to see your way thru this tough time.

There are no words...I am so deeply sorry for your loss LeeAnne and family. Prayers of comfort and strength to you all with love cousin.

My deepest sympathy to Chris's family and loved ones.  We went to Penn State together and shared some fun adventures.  Although I hadn't seen him for many years, I enjoyed following his posts online.  It is obvious how much he loved and is loved by everyone who knew him.

Such a warm spirit..EVERY time I saw Chris he had a SMILE on his face..my heart goes out to ALL he loved and touched..

As I look through everyone's pictures, its overwhelming how he was everywhere, with everyone and always with a beaming smile. He was a good, good friend and a great father and husband.

we will love and miss you, always.  Mad love to LeeAnne and the kids!  Fare Thee Well, Brother.

"Chris was the reason I knew my niece LeeAnne would be able to go on after her mother made her transformation to spirit last year. I could see the love and admiration they had for each other in their eyes. I saw that same look in Chris' eyes when he spoke of his daughters. That period of time was difficult for all of us but Chris managed to lighten a room like no other. He was soul centered and was able to hold the high watch, a term used  in my faith that means able to be still and comfort with ones own spiritual presence. He did that with grace and a open heart. He was a joy to be around and his love of life, his family, his friends, music, sports, politics,and our planet is our loss and heaven's gain. Be at peace Chris."

Chris was an incredible soul who always made you feel so happy each time you were around him.  I have endless memories with him!  I'm so glad I got to be a part of his phamily.  I'm so glad I got to go on so many adventures with this genuinely kind and loving man.  I know you are an angel watching over so many!  Dance my friend!

I promise not to miss you, because I know you'll always walk by my side and be in my thoughts forever old friend.  I can't thank you enough for everything you've taught me, for all the laughs and for the awesome friends you've brought into my life.  You are one of a kind and will be cherished in my thoughts until the next time we meet.  Love and Light.  In Lak'ech.  Much love.  Much respect.

Chris was one of a kind. Generous, kind, funny, and such a joy to be around. I am so blessed that I was able to call him my dear friend for 10 wonderful years. He will be missed so greatly by so many. I think the reason he was on this earth was to show us how wonderful love is and what a powerful force it can be. He showed love and taught love everyday. He certainly made an impact in my life and everyone who knew him. He was a master Jedi at it. :-) 

My deepest condolences to his family, children and beautiful wife Leanne. I love you.
