Thinking of you today as the ray of sunshine you were in our family, as the sun was shining. We miss you all the time and remember having a beer with you in the evening. Hope your doing all the bike riding you love!
Can't believe 3 years since your death. We think and talk about you every day in our prayers each evening. We feel an emptiness inside that just won't go away. You were such a sweet & caring young man who planned to see more of your cousin Kylie and when you bought a musical horn you were searching for on internet sites to give her cause she wanted to play a instrument. Your presence is truly missed each and every day when we eat dinner and remember during our dinners together of how I told you of many stories of your dad and his siblings growing up on Oak Park Avenue and Nagle. Your laughing and giggling when hearing those stories we will always hear in our heads.
We so cherish our special relationship we had with you and all the events we did together as a family. That's what families are for - special times together and caring & helping each other in times of need. You will forever be in our hearts and thoughts! We love you much our sweet nephew!
I can't believe its been a year since I lost my beloved cousin. you touched so many lives and I miss you every day. I talk to you all the time especially on a clear star filled nights. I miss all the fun times we had. You are always in my heart & thoughts. I love you Chris.
I got my ticket for the long way 'round, the one with prettiest of views, it's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights that give you shivers, oh it sure would of been prettier with you...
Dear Nephew Chris, Can't believe a year has passed since your departure from all our lives. Our hearts feel sorrow each and every day as we remember you growing up and all the happy times you brought us with your funny stories and that one of a kind giggle. The best memory is the pride you took in your car detailing it regularly, and saying after you were done "I used all your tire shine up". We miss you lots and love you much.
Christopher miss you dearly, its hard to get through each and every day since you left. Every time I think of you, I hug you in my heart. How long will the pain last? All the rest of my life, each and every second the breath.I will remember you at the last moment of my life. You told me to "just take care of yourself", I will try. Thank you for being my son.
Words can not express the sorrow for the loss of our nephew. He was such a handsome, sweet man and we loved him so very much. We will miss you dearly. May you rest in peace.
My heart is breaking for your family. There are no words that I can say that will ease your pain. My prays will always be with you. God Bless you all.
Dear Trish, Russ and Family
So sorry for your Loss, you are all in my prayers and thoughts. Sorry I never got to meet Chris he was a very handsome young man.
Chris,you were my best friend, my cousin, & my brother and you will remain in my heart every day of my life. I miss you so much and I can't get a grip that you are no longer with us. You were so much loved more than you would ever know. You had the one of the biggest, kindest hearts on this planet and you will be missed by many every day. Your loving heart is an inspiration to me. I will cherish every single time we spent together. From all the Holidays we spent together during our young years hanging with all the cousin's at Busha's and Grandpa's house to our adult years. I will miss you helping me on my house with my dad and just chilling at the crib. I keep thinking you will come around the corner to share a beer or a glass of wine together. You were such a smart kid and anything you put your mind to you would conquer it. Bettina loves you so much and misses your smile that she gets out of you every time and your funny jokes to make our days better. Thanks for the honor of you putting our Angel on top of our Christmas tree this past Christmas. We were so thankful for you sharing Christmas dinner in our newly remodeled kitchen that we all had the honor to share with you. My parents loved you like you were their own son. Our stories and memories of you will live on forever. Chris, we learned from you to never forget to dress our car tires when we wash our cars. Cuz, you could have used all the tire dressing you wanted… We will miss you so much at all the wine tastings (Coopers Hawk) and camping festivities. We will have a glass of wine sitting in your chair from time to time to solude you and in celebration of your life. I'm going to miss everything about you, your saying "come on man" will live with me forever. I will be riding in the forest preserve that we wanted to ride in together and I will be looking up to you man. Send us a shooting star from time to time, okay. Come on man. I love you Chris. You will always be in my heart forever. I know my cousin Ryan was waiting for you at the gates to show you around your new home. You both have a good time up there. I know the Heavens are thankful for having an Angel like you and Ryan. Have fun driving all your fancy cars up there, okay. Till the day we meet again, you will be my best friend, my cousin, and my brother for life.
Your New York cousins will always remember the times we visited & got to spend time with you and Adam and Holly from the time you were born until the last time we saw you at Holly's wedding. How long ago that seems now. We pray that you are at peace & will forever look down from above and watch over your parents and brother and sister. Rest in Peace, dear Chris.
My boy I miss you. My heart is broken forever. I will always think of you ever minute of every day, especially when I am hiking. You have always had my admiration. I was so proud of the man you had become.
All my Love,
Mom

We are so very sorry for the loss of Chris, we know that no words can make it any easier but please know we are here for you and truly do understand the grief of loosing a child and sibling
No words I write could ever say how sad and empty I feel today. The angels came for you much sooner than anyone ever planned. We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and we'll try our best to understand why you had to go away. Why wasn't it right for you to stay? In our hearts Christopher you'll always be!
You are like a son to us and love you just the same. We will cherish all the memories we had of you growing up and especially our recent outings, like eating at your favorite restaurant Coopers Hawk. Your funny, ambitious, full of life, and had the biggest heart going the extra mile for anyone in need. Your spirit will always be with us during events we all planned together to do of summer concerts, kayaking, boating, fishing, and fests. You will be truly missed and will remain in our hearts forever.
When God calls his children home,His angels come to take them by the hand, leading them along a shining path into a place of peace and light. He is now at everlasting peace. Our thoughts and prayers are you with!
