    God Bless you Cris. Prayers to the family. As children we lived next door to them in one of the two houses next to what then was we called Mr Lore’s house. Fun n silly times.

    Cris, you were my best friend and I am lost without you. I can’t take the thought that I will never hear your voice or your laughter again. We shared many special moments and I will always cherish those memories.
    With all my love forever and always, Debbie

    I really don’t know what to say but I’m going to try. Cris, you were a loyal friend. I will cherish my memories of our adventures together…… from my days of drinking to the birth of Ryan to my weddings (haha). You were such a great man and friend. I thank you for being my best friend for so many years. Until we meet again my friend.

    Chris was like a brother to us McAbee’s in Clinton. He and his black and gold Cobra Mustang were permanent fixtures at our house as we grew through our teen years. I remember his dimpled smile whose twinkling eyes belied mischief. Always, like he knew something we didn’t.
    He was funny and cute and thoughtful. He gave my mother flowers when he thought she needed a morale boost.
    I still remember the day that his tire exploded in our driveway as he worked on it. I never knew a tire could explode!
    He was there for my sisters after I went into the Air Force.
    He is and will always be missed.
    God rest you, Chris, and may perpetual light shine upon you. May He grant the grace to come through this sad time to his family and friends – especially his sons.

    “Dream big, girl.”

    ‘Cause you never think that the last time is the last time. You think there will be more. You think you have forever, but you don’t.

    Rest easy, Cris. We’ll see you beyond the stars.
