Chris was a wonderful person and always had a smile on his face. Seemed a bit shy all the time but watching the video tribute shows how outgoing and caring he was.
Our hearts go out to his family at this difficult time and we will always remember what a wonderful customer he was!

Jim and Jody - I pray for the day your memories provide you with more smiles than tears.

Perhaps they are not stars,
but rather openings in heaven
where the love of our lost ones
pours through and shines down upon us
to let us know they’re happy

Last night I learned of another death I'm not quite sure how he died but that's not what matters
His name was Chris and he was a classmate of mine we graduated in 2002 from Maple Lake High School..... I haven't seen many of my friends since I moved away and made my own life and I'm comfortable here but I think of all my friends very often...... what can I tell you about Chris I he was a kind and gentle soul.... he always said hi to me and made sure I didn't need help no matter what he was doing..... I'd be walking down Maple Lake High School and he always manage to say hi and asked me how I was doing no matter if he was goofing off with his friends or not..... he was one of the good people that's gone way too soon
I caught up with him on Facebook a few years ago and it sounded like he was doing very well so I guess that's what matters right enjoying life doing what you love being surrounded by the people that you love
Rest in peace Chris and thank you for always being one of those people that was kind and always lending a hand if I needed it
Watch over all of us and keep us safe until we meet again my friend

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I couldn't believe the news when I heard it last night. My heart goes out to the whole family and if there is anything that I can do please do not hesitate to ask. I can do anything you need from help at the shop or around the house. Christopher was a great man and will be deeply missed by everyone that knew him.
I read this poem that I would like to share-
Life Well Lived
A life well lived is a precious gift,
of hope and strength and grace,
from someone who has made our world
a brighter, better place.
its filled with moments, sweet and sad
with smiles and sometimes tears,
with friendships formed and good times shared,
and laughter through the years.
a life well lived is a legacy,
of joy and pride and pleasure,
a living, lasting memory
our grateful heart's will treasure.

god bless you and your family!

We knew Christopher when we were young. Playing with him in Waverly at the park or Ogle's backyard and hanging out with him and riding rides during the Waverly 125th celebration. We would cross paths periodically as we grew up and we both always said what a nice guy he was. Death is hardest on the living, we must trust in God's plan. We are so sorry for your loss and want you to know that years later, we both fondly remember him as a great person.

Jody the sadness I feel for you and your entire family is so great, words can not say enough. Embrace family and friends now and months and years from now. The pain your feeling will ease but never go away completely. Reach out when you need to talk or just be silent. We were brought up to trust in God and all he does, but this is not what we signed up for!
