Heaven gained a truly special soul. I'm going to miss you so much. You were the kind of person who always took care of everyone around you, and your kindness will never be forgotten. We shared so many wonderful memories and so many laughs together. Thank you for being such a blessing in our lives. Rest peacefully, you will always be loved, remembered, and deeply missed. ❤️

Chris always had a great time, phenomenal provider and family man. Lived his best life with a bunch of humor and laughs.

💕 Chris you were one of my first friends in this Life..you will be missed exactly how we laughed and teased about our entire adult life, lovingly respectfully and whole heartily! All of the memories and words shared in this life with you will forever be in My heart and head until my day on this Earth is done! Thanks for being the best human you could be! But I will miss hearing you say "Hey Beautiful & I love You" to me. 
 Happy new adventure to your soul, I love you and see you later handsome! 😘 
Forever grateful, you cousin Dwana Jackson!

I want to send my sincerely condolences to Carris and Alliyah. Although people say it gets better. I don’t lie so it won’t get better but God will take care of you. My dad been gone for over 20 years and it still hurts. So many memories will keep you going. I remember when he had all of us bussing our tails to make that big order of his famous bbq sauce. We had so much fun in that kitchen. Then he became my pastor and landlord. I love him and really gonna hold on to those memories.He will be truly missed.

This is Chris, smiling, showing up and laughing with just some of his favorite people... Chris was always there for me and my team. He was there for his clients. He was my brother & my friend. He will be my reminder to always let my shine brightly, to serve with empathy and to give my all. His light will shine on!

It was an honor to have you as my brother! You taught me a lot of things in life all  except for one and that is how to live without you! Chris, I love you beyond measures and I will miss you dearly so until we should meet again I'll make sure that I take care of Mama for you....🤞💔😭🥹

To my military friend, my “Big Brother “, you will truly be missed. So many great memories and years of fun and fellowship. Thank you for your service, Take your rest. Love you “Zack”

My condolences to the family and my bonus sister Cecilia Thorpe. Mr. Thorpe was a no nonsense father but very loving. And very protective of his daughter. My home was the only place he felt comfortable with. As far as his daughter spending the night anywhere and vs. Always made me feel welcomed when I was there. Though he's gone he's not forgotten. To be absent of the flesh is to be present with the Lord! The best place any of us could be. The family will be in my prayers!
