May 27, 2025 at 4:40 pmI met Chris a few years ago, he was nice to me, no different than other young people of his age. We talked about everything for quite a long time. I am very sorry that he is no longer with us. I would like to express my deepest condolences to his father and mother and the rest of his family and friends. RIP Chris.🙏

May 28, 2025 at 4:37 amSuccess is measured many different ways. I only met you in the last few months of your life but although our time together was short, You stood out bigger than the rest. You cared the deepest for others. And although most would consider your journey being a struggle and wouldn’t dare try on your shoes that they couldn’t wear anyway. You always brought positivity and good will with you wherever you went. And I’m positive will follow with you wherever you will go. I’m proud to call you my friend and an
undoubted successful human in my eyes. Thank You for everything you’ve done Chris. And Thank you to those who raised such an outstanding person. He will be greatly missed.

Both Don and I was so shocked and felt so sad when we heard of Chris’ passing. That has to be the hardest thing for a parent to go through. He was so very young and had a lot of life left to live. Our hearts are with you and hope that many happy memories will help you through this terrible time. With Love, Don & June Dougall

Brittany Lindsay says
May 31, 2025 at 1:10 pmChris was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He would have given you the shirt off his own back in any situation and was someone you could count on to be there for you if ever needed anything. No matter what. He did have his struggles but in our last conversation he really was trying to get on the right track and show the people he loved how much better he could be not only for himself, but mostly for his family and the people he loved and cared about. Sending lots of love to his family during this difficult time . Please know he will be truly missed.
