• I met Chris online while playing Counter-Strike. We met in person at BaseLAN and other LAN parties, some at my house. A bunch of us used to go out for wings and talk games and computers. Good times were had. Fun guy, great sense of humor, confident and humble. Such a sad thing to see such a promising young man going so early in life. gg Harding - Posted by: Jeremie Robin (Friend) on: May 09, 2013

• It was my pleasure to work with Chris. I am in our Sault Ste Marie office and through training sessions Chris and I met and "clicked" right away. Chris was just that kind of guy. Chris will be missed and it was my pleasure to have known him. - Posted by: Anne Godfrey (Co-worker) on: May 09, 2013

• Chris has been a part of my life for 10 years now. So many fond memories of beach parties and poker games. Chris had a very competitive spirit that drove him in online games and fantasy sports. He will be missed by many and his memory will be forever in my mind. - Posted by: Mike Lafond (Friend) on: May 08, 2013

• Kim, Dave, Tammy & Jim our thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times. Chris was a terrific young man and he will not be forgotten. - Posted by: Fred and Bernie Selles (Family friends) on: May 08, 2013

• It took an argument followed by a half day indoor suspension beside Chris before I realised how good of a friend he would become. Chris had such a strong sense of morality, integrity he matured fast. He was a strong leader with strong values. He is the good that died young. My deepest condolences go out to his family. His fire may be out but I will always feel his warmth. - Posted by: Matthew Sylvestre (friend) on: May 07, 2013

• Chris & I first met in the 7th grade - since then we've had a very strong friendship which survived through fights and disagreements, life changing tragedies, and of course countless hours of some of the best times of both of our lives. He was one of the most important, and influential people in my life. So many of my life's experiences can be attributed to ways that he has impacted me. I introduced him to a game of Counter-Strike when we were young. That game became a huge part of his life, and as a result he introduced me to BaseLAN - a community that made both of us a lot of friends, and remained a part of both of our lives from then on. He is also the only reason that I have the career that I do. He convinced me to apply at Shaw in the first place - he even convinced his boss to give me a second chance at an interview after I missed their attempt at contacting me. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't be working for this amazing company, and I wouldn't have built all of these amazing relationships that I have as a result. Words cannot express how much I miss you. There were so many things left for us to do. So many television shows to argue about, movies to see, and video games for you to finish before me and then tease me about. I wish we had more time together friend. I will love you always, and you will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Ryan Carbotte () on: May 07, 2013

• I don't know how it happened, but somehow back in High School, my friends became his friends and his friends became mine, and shortly later I had the honor of calling Chris a friend. It's been over seven years since I've seen him and I can still remember his infectious laugh and the way he made all of us crack up. He always had a smile on his face and kindness in his heart. I will forever hold on to those memories and consider him a truly special friend. - Posted by: Sandra Chabot (High School Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• Will never forget the shepherd club meeting in our living room where you guys told us you were expecting. Kim, we are deeply saddened by your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Donna & Jim Cameron (friend of Kim & Doug) on: May 06, 2013

• I've known Chris for longer than I can even remember. He was in my younger brother's grade and they quickly became close friends. Over the years, as we grew older I too became very close with Chris. I've always appreciated how he used to look out for Ryan. He always had everyone's best interests at heart. We shared a lot of good times, from hanging out in my basement, to bonfires at his new house. Concerts, movies, BASELAN. We've done many things together, I can't believe there won't be any new memories. I will cherish those I do have. We've lost an incredibly special soul. I will remember you forever. Rest in Peace good sir! - Posted by: Kevin (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• He is friendly and humble. He is fond of saying "sir." The last time I approached him at work for help, he said "hello sir." May the Lord comfort his family. - Posted by: David (Colleague @ Shaw) on: May 06, 2013

• Chris was one of the few people willing to really try his best to help me in one of the toughest times of both his life and mine. I appreciated it, even if I didn't always deserve it. I wish that he were still here. - Posted by: Brendan Carroll (Former Co-Worker) on: May 06, 2013

• This guy is the only one that could out laugh me, he was so much fun and absolutely hilarious. I'll never forget how we made each other laugh. <3 - Posted by: Sabrina (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• Chris was a great guy, and a good friend. I had the privilege of working with him and if I ever needed a laugh I knew I could count on him. Thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. - Posted by: Andru Valpy (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• My most heartfelt thoughts to you Kim, sometimes things just seem too much to bear. Your men are watching over you and know that their love will never be lost to you. - Posted by: Jill Dickin (Friend of Kim and Doug and family) on: May 06, 2013

• My condolences to the Harding family - my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. - Posted by: Elise Altham (Carriere) (Family friend) on: May 06, 2013

• His light will be missed. I have never known a better man in my lifetime. I first met Chris when he was my opponent, playing Counter-strike. Since then we have become good friends and co-workers at both shaw and baselan. I will miss his smile and his laugh. Arguing about movies was my favourite. My heart reaches out to all who need it, he would have it no other way. - Posted by: David Alberto (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• Chris and I grew up on the same street as kids. His house was a football punt from mine, later our paths crossed again working at Shaw in the tech support department. Chris was always a friendly guy and very easy to get a long with and I rarely saw him without a smile on his face. Our paths will cross again in the next life. - Posted by: Kevin Gordon (Former Co-Worker and Neighbour) on: May 06, 2013

• I will miss you Chris! - Posted by: Barry Mungall (Friends) on: May 06, 2013

• When I last spoke to Chris it was wednesday of last week and I was bugging him about getting a new "state of the art" modem. The modems were in and he was going thru them and adding them to staff accounts and I asked if he had completed mine yet and he said "In due time Jonesy, quit buggin' me." I made a comment about speed and beards and went back to my desk. Later on he handed the modem over and said "Now don't bug me anymore, Ginger." We had a laugh and I didn't bug him anymore. But now I really want to....Can't wait to bug you again big guy. - Posted by: Derek Jones (Co-Worker) on: May 06, 2013

• Chris had the best laugh. He made work fun and we shared so many moments of hilarity together; mostly behind closed doors and usually at someone else's expense ;-p Chris was an amazing friend and colleague who's genuine heart made him most special. He really cared about others and this was obvious in how he managed his people. He always put their needs above his own. Wish we had more time to laugh. Love yah always. - Posted by: John Simpson (Colleague) on: May 06, 2013

• What a tragedy for Chris's family and everyone who knew & loved him. Chris was one of the kindest and most decent human beings anyone could be lucky enough to meet and he will be so missed by so many. My deepest condolences to his family and all his many friends. Rest In Peace Christopher Harding, the world will be darker without you in it. - Posted by: Barb Nemshon (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• From BaseLAN 12 and on I knew i was at home with great friends. The staff made me feel welcomed and you were a big part of that. It will never be the same without you. RIP big guy - Posted by: damion petriew (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• I met Chris during my very first baselan, 7 years ago. Ever since than he's always been the happiest guy I know. Even when he's losing in scouts knives. His presence at baselan will be missed so much. Now who is gonna yell at people over the mic? I'm also gonna miss his random banters at 12 am about the most ridiculous things. - Posted by: Donald (Gaming buddy) on: May 06, 2013

• My thoughts and prayers are with your family big guy. I know you are out there somewhere with your dad looking down on all of us now. I will really miss your good morning and good night texts every day and our weekly/biweekly movie nights. Love you. <3 xoxox - Posted by: Kayla Kowerko () on: May 06, 2013

• First time I met Chris was at 4Play Sports Bar in the summer of 2012 for our Fantasy Football draft. Being the "newb" in the draft, everybody made fun of my absurd draft picks. But at the end of the night, Chris stood up for me, he said "You guys were really hard on Ollie today, he deserves an apology." And even though nobody apologized (Shaw guys) I felt his sincerity. It was fun going head to head against him in Fantasy Football. He was a twitter friend that would tweet about video games, restaurants, and obviously sports. RIP Chris, NFL season won't be the same without you. - Posted by: Oliver Hernandez (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• I remember Chris as being competitive, understanding, and honorable. His charisma and charm can never be forgotten as he was admired by all his peers. We'll miss you friend. - Posted by: Stefan R () on: May 06, 2013

• The first time I met Chris was at a party. He had a strong handshake and a big smile. I hadn't talked to him for an hour and I already knew I liked this guy. His laugh made everyone smile. I have lost lots of money to him at poker games, but I always learned and he was always there to teach. I will miss you buddy. - Posted by: T.J Atkinson (Friend) on: May 06, 2013

• Our deepest condolences on your tragic loss. It was an honor watching him grow up to be the man he had become. - Posted by: Gordon Family (Friends) on: May 06, 2013
