Everyone who knew Chris, and that is a lot of people, was a better person for his friendship. You got to see the world through the eyes of how the world should be: pure joy, kindness, generosity, understanding and optimism with no excuses or compromises. Chris was unshakably true to his values and ideals.
And that changed you.
It was an honor to be a part of his life for over 20 years, to always want to be more like him, to cherish his friendship, and now the memories of one of the greatest men we all have ever known. Good bye my friend.
A few pics from the last couple of years.
