My heart goes out to the family. Even though I had not seen Chris in a few years. Anytime we saw each other it was just like old times. Between our years at Johnson and then working at Palmer's seafood Chris and I really had a several great memories. No one will forget borrowing the Big Boy from the Orphanage and put it on top of the Johnson High School. I will definitely miss his smile and his fun demeanor. I remember when you went off to the Coast Guard he would send me letters all the time asking me to send him tobacco dip. He actually told me that the company commander put him in charge of over 70 recruits (ARC) he said it was like being a head bus boy over 70 people. Rest in peace my friend you would surely be missed.

Although it has been a few years since Ive spoken with Chris, I was deeply saddened to hear about his passing. High school was a lot more enjoyable with his ever present smile and funny stories. Rest in Peace, friend. Sending prayers to the family as well.

So sorry to hear this, Chris was a great guy, a long time friend of our family. He & my brother Stephen wreaked havoc on Wilmington Park back in the day, & he was always so helpful with my Dad in his later years in Bull River. Thank you Chris, rest in peace.

I went to college with Chris and he was one of the funniest, friendliest, sweetest, kindest guys and truly made my time at SGC two of the best years of my life! I could literally go on and on with stories of us, our other friends and the experiences we all had. He made me laugh more than anyone else I've ever met. I was just talking about him with my 16-year old daughter the other day and all these years later, still laughed as I was talking about him! I'm so incredibly sad for your loss and I know how much he'll be missed! Please accept my sincere condolences and know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
