Two years of tears missing our son so very much..the heartbeat of us all.Chris was so special to many people ..a true and honest friend..a dedicated Uncle .hard worker...brother and protective son to both of his parents..never a harsh word to us.His death was tramstic..still is in our memory. We will always celebrate his life and love each memory as he will always be alive in our hearts and all we do.

Coming close to a year since we lost Chris our youngest son.We hope he is out of any pain he may have had and his spirit , memories and love  will continue to be with family and friends..Missing him terribly.

3 months you have been gone.My heart is as empty as it was when we lost you. .guilt..sadness..and much love. Missing you terribly.

To my brother: 
I still think about you every day. Sometimes I hear your laughter when something is really funny. Other times I feel your hand on my shoulder when I’m experiencing challenges. I know you’re there. Liam is having a tough time missing you but we talk about your presence in his life often and he is proud of the time you spent with him. One of the last memories he has is of you building his motor. He cherishes it and keep it on his dresser in his room. I miss you so much but I am a grateful for having you in my life for 30 years. Until we meet again, I will trust that you’re always looking over us and guiding me as a brother and friend. This weekend I took the kids blueberry picking and I remembered how many berries you used to eat before we even got them home!!! Ethan did this for you. 😃 I love you. 

We miss you so..the anchor of our family...always treasure our memories and see you again with open arms .May God protect you and take you in his loving arms.
Mom


Though our times with Chris were infrequent, we always found Chris to be enthusiastic, positive, engaging and never without a smile. We always enjoyed our conversations with him over our shared political views. 

We are heartbroken over his untimely passing.  Our hearts are broken for his family and friends. He will surely be missed but always remembered.

Eileen & Mark and family, I'm so very sorry for your loss.  I pray that God will comfort you in the coming days.  And I pray that your son's memory will live on in your hearts forever.  I'm sure he's looking down on you all lovingly and wishing he could be here.  But you'll all see him again one beautiful day, in heaven.  Stay strong and may God watch over you all.

I have so many memories of Chris. We grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools, and created a friendship that didn’t see time. I was blessed to have saw him a few weeks ago and he was the same happy, loving Chris.  We reminisced on our childhood days, growing up playing manhunt, hanging out by the neighbors tree and just being care free kids. 

Chris will always hold a special place in my
heart. He will forever be missed and I will think of him often in the things that I do. 

Love you Chris. 

Chris was such an awesome guy! His life was undeniably cut too short. Chris’ legacy will be that he was a giver. He gave everything for anyone who needed anything. He gave time, energy, care, compassion, love, joy, and kindness. With the immeasurable sadness that comes with his passing, he was still able to give life and put a smile on somebody’s face; as he did so often when we were blessed with his company. 
I have many memories of Chris that I will hold on to as long as my mind lets me. The most recent memories include our flight to Nashville, TN in June 2018 which Pops came along as his plus-1 and a brief phone conversation with him on 3/29/21; Chris had just got back from NY and he was grilling (Chris loved to eat lol). So I did’t keep him long, but boy do I wish we had shot the breeze for my 35 minute drive home from work. 
Thank you to the Knowles family for sharing your son, brother, grandson, cousin, uncle, and friend with the world. I pray the deep void that is left with his passing is made shallow once again. I was honored to be invited to his celebration and very thankful I could attend. 
Joby Martin, lead pastor at The Church of Eleven22, always says with pain comes provision; with the pain of Chris’ passing, I also pray God’s most fruitful provision is on the horizon for the Knowles family. 
Love you, Chris. Can’t wait for our reunion, but until then, “it’s whatever.”

The memory I hold on to right now that replays in my head is from Halloween about two years ago. I’ve known Chris my whole life. As kids we were close and as adults we grew apart just with different lives and obligations. But ever Halloween seeing him was something I looked forward too. This Halloween we hadn’t even started walking yet and there was a knock at the door. In walked Chris. Chris and Kyle were the only two that could just walk right into my parents house. He walked right in my parents front door and out loud asked where’s Kim. Then hollered hey Kim and I came walking out of a bedroom and he just walked up and to me and hugged me. Hugged me tight. Told me it was good to see me and how much he missed me. To me that memory shows that no matter how many days or years passed he was always like a brother to me. I will miss him dearly and I will hold onto that memory that hug forever.
