My very deepest condolences and prayers go out to you and your whole family in this time of sorrow. He was such a wonderful cousin to be around when I could share my life with him. Once again, I am terribly and awfully sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great person to everyone.

Chris was one who loved his family, work, friends, and anyone who he came in contact with. He had that smile and laugh that when you were around him you wanted to also smile and laugh. I will miss the times we hung out and the lunch time conversations we would have almost every single day. Prayers for his family, son, wife, and everyone else also touched by his early passing. I will see you on the other side one of these days Yoshe and we will have our shop talk and build some amazing coils together. - Jeremy Kimball (PBR)

I am just now finding out about Chris' passing. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a good guy and sure did love being a dad. I will pray for Caleb and hope the Lord stays close to him always. RIP.

Danielle, We're so sorry to hear about Chris. It's a great loss to all that had ever met Chris and to those that loved him. He was a good kid and We always enjoyed his smile and personality. May God comfort you and your children. Randy wilson and the staff at Sharkys.

Rick, Debbie, Adam, Nathan, and Kyle: We just became aware of your heartbreaking loss today (7/18) and are shaken by it. We are sorry beyond words. The loss of a son and brother is nearly unbearable, but we know you will be sustained by faith and each other. We have so many good memories of Chris. Smiling around a mouthful of pizza and springing from the blocks with enthusiasm come readily to mind. We are holding our memories and all of you close to our hearts. Love, Benita and Ron Cole

I will always remember the smile and big hugs Chris gave when ever I saw him at church or the Hurricane games. What a great lost to all. Pat Foran

Having known each other half our lives, there are so many memories that could be shared. I will remember most how much he loved Caleb from the minute he was born though and how happy he was being a dad. I'll think of Chris often and keep your family in my heart.

Chris, I come back to your store and the first thing I do is ask for you. I was shocked to find out you had passed. You were always such a nice guy to hang out with and talk to. I was actually coming back to take you up on that job you offered me. Im sorry I couldn't say goodbye. You will be missed rest easy <3

My prayers and thoughts go out to the Rick and his family. Although I didn't know Chris, his father is a real gentleman and I have enjoyed working with him over the last year. I wish you all comfort during this trying time. May God bless Chris and all of you. Geoff Akiki and family

Chris's time in this world was too short! I am glad I got to know him while he was here. I am sending him one last "/bite yoshi"
