• I was deeply saddened to hear of Chris' passing. Chris always had a smile on his face and was such a kind hearted and spirited person. Any time I saw Chris he always greeted me with a smile and huge hug; it was like seeing family! Growing up Chris always was sure to make you laugh but still feel important. I was so proud of the man Chris had become. Praying for God's peace and comfort during this difficult and heart-wrenching time. Chris will be deeply missed. - Posted by: Kara Spittal (Fuchs) (Childhood Friend) on: Jul 12, 2014

• Chris, you will be missed deeply by so many. I'm lucky to have known you. I have so many great memories of you and Bobby coming to visit or us girls coming to see you guys. The songs and flip charts we would make to try and convince our moms to let us have sleepovers or play nightmare. Hanging out at the lake and having swimming olympics, card games and walks in the woods. I could go on and on and for that I am grateful. It never mattered how long it had been since we last spoke, you always made it feel like no time had passed at all. I love you lots and will miss you always. xoxo - Posted by: Jenn McMaster (cousin) on: Jul 11, 2014

• Hey Chris. I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to say goodbye. You, Nathan and Duffy were my rocks whilst living in Winnipeg. I was looking forward to having you stay with me in Australia and living the dream here. I'm saddened to hear the terrible news of your passing and my heart breaks for your family circle. I'll always have lasting memories of our nights out together. Your kind, accepting nature made me feel at home when I was thousands of miles away and your warm smile would always light up the darkest of moods. You managed to make an impact on a person's life, living on the otherside of the world. I'll always remember you bro. -Aussie. - Posted by: Matthew 'the Aussie' Jackson (Close friend) on: Jul 11, 2014

• Helen, Bobby and family....what words can express my feelings at this time? I cannot begin to capture the agony you feel. Sorry just doesn't seem to be enough. Let's remember the goodness and celebrate the gift of life as opposed to mourn the loss of a blessed soul? Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the funeral (but mom plans to). Please know that although we are apart in miles I am united in prayer for your family. Know also that God is holding Christopher close to his side as I am certain he will provide God with plenty of laughs and help as needed. Perhaps Christopher will start a movie trivia club amongst the angels....? Love and Blessings.....Amy xoxoxox - Posted by: Amy Johnson (nee Todd) (Cousin) on: Jul 10, 2014

• My heart is so sad...you will be missed, especially at my Birthday parties. Last one at Shannon's Pool, you were giving me a hug...then, I realized you were edging me closer to the pool...then, I realized I was going in! I held with all my strength, and climbed you like a tree....all the while our friends were laughing and snapping pics at my desperate attempt to get out of the situation, I was all dressed up!!! You whispered in my ear "Let go...cause, this is happening" I let go....you flung me in the air and I was in that pool, party dress and all. Now, I suppose, all your friends and family and the people that you touched so deeply are gonna have to do the same. Let go, cause this is happening....You will remain in our hearts forever....we will always miss you, Chris. My deepest condolences to the Family. - Posted by: Michele Fidler (co-worker/friend) on: Jul 09, 2014
