Jonathan and the Stoeckel family,
We were so saddened to hear of Chris's death.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this terrible time.

Chris I want your kids to know you were a good cop and did a fine job. I also held you in the highest regard. My thoughts and prayers to your family. May you rest in peace!

Billie Jo...My heart is broken for your family.  May the peace that passes all understanding guard your hearts and minds.  You have many that love and care for you.  Allow yourself time to grieve and let others carry the load for a while. Give your children a special hug from me.  If you need anything. ..just let me know.

So sorry for your loss. Chris was a great coach for my boys

Thoughts and prayer to BillieJo, Ethan, Makenzie, Peyton and Emma and may Chris Rest in Peace.  We love you!

So sorry for your families loss, and for those precious children.

To Chris' family I want to express my sorrow during this especially difficult time.  Chris and I served together in the Marine Corps while working in the Camp Pendleton Brig.  It was pretty much a thankless job, but Chris always performed extraordinarily.  He was quiet but yet loved to joke around.  His exceptional work ethic and his little simple grin always had me confident in his character.  Instead of being loud like many other Marines, he would almost whisper his little jokes to me and that was just fine with me as I love to joke around as well.  He will definitely be missed by so many to include myself, but there is no stronger bond then FAMILY and I am sure that he will check-in with all of you in your dreams and your thoughts.  Gob Bless you all and Semper Fidelis Stoeckel although our time together was brief, I am a better man for having known you Marine.

So sorry for your loss. Chris was a great guy when we went to school with each other. Chris always had some kind words or humor that made the days easier when facing school's challenges. RIP CHRIS. We will continue to pray for you and your family in this hard times.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

i miss you cuz and i love  i will prayer for the kidsand hope u guys will be allright

Chris will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to Billie Joe and their children. I will always remember when he took our challenge to become a cheerleader and he was so much fun. Im happy that I got to spend time with him during high school and just wanted the family to know that I am thinking of them. You will be missed Chris!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. What a tragedy. I never met Chris, but I do know Billie Jo and she always talked so highly of Chris. I pray that you guys are able to find peace after this. It's going to be a long road for their beautiful 4 children, but they're lucky to have such a great mommy with so much love in her heart. Xoxo

Lord I ask that you lay your hand of comfort on the Stoeckel family today as they lay their family member to rest. Give them peace of mind to know that just because his earthly body is gone his spirit remains with you Lord. Father I pray that you continue your watch over his children, help to guide and mold them into the wonderful people I know they will be because they did have Chris as their father. Lord be with us all that had the fantastic opportunity to know Chris, that even though some of us have been separated by miles over the years that someday we will be united again in you wonderful kingdom. Lord I thank you for Chris he was such a wonderful and caring individual. It was my honor to have met him and to be able to call him my friend. Father I thank you for all that you do and in your holy name i say. Amen
   Chris i will miss you greatly i know we have not talked in a while but you were on my mind more then you know. I know you are watching down on us now smiling. Semper fi my brother until we meet again.

Thoughts and prayers to the entire family.. Chris was a great guy. I will always remember him for his kind heart and humor..

Words cannot begin to express the sorrow that was felt when I heard of Chris's passing. I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through right now BillieJo. Please know that my family and I will continue to pray for God to give you amd your children and the entire Stoeckel family, the strength and support needed at this time. I am so very sorry for your loss. Chris was a good friend in high school. He had a kind heart and was always trying to make people laugh. Those are the memories many if us will hold dear. RIP Chris. May God bless you all.

I love you guys so much! You are some of my very best friends and I miss you. I will miss Chris and keep his love for his family and the fond memories that we shared close to my heart. He has left his children to an amazing mother and I know she will do wonderful things to help them get through this tragic time and lead a happy life. I will continue to pray for the family through these hard times and I will never forget Chris. God Bless.

I am praying for you, my Brother, and the family that you left behind.  It was a pleasure serving with you at the Camp Pendleton Base Brig.  May you rest in peace.

May the light of  Christ shine upon Chris and his family in this time of need.  He will be missed by his Brother Officers at the Sheriffs Office.  Until we all meet again, rest in peace my brother

My dear brother,

It still doesn't seem real.  I feel like I will see you again in a few days. I can not bring myself to believe that I will not.  I love the relationship that we had and how much closer we became over the last couple of years. I will miss your funny stories and all the fun times we had together, even if it resulted in me being passed out on the bathroom floor... LOL!  I will never forget that you threw a Broncos Super Bowl party just for me even though you are a Packers fan.  I still have the balloons you bought for that night which are still afloat. Rick will miss you hanging out with him down in his office. I will miss wrapping my arms around you for a big teddy bear hug. I will also miss watching you with your kids, the lights of your life. You were such a great father to them which makes me so proud! I haven't yet changed the date on my little block calendar because I can't seem to bring myself to quite yet.  I feel comfort knowing that you are with Grandma and Grandpa right now and also next to the special angel in your life. Take care of each other. You will always hold a special place in my heart and I am saddened that you will not be at my wedding, yet again.  You didn't always say "I love you," but I know you did love me as much I loved you!  I will forever miss you!!  

Love,
Your favorite sister ;)
