Chris was my mentor and behavior manager but he was more that that he was the embodiment of everything a mentor should be I recently graduated highschool and the only thing I could think was how proud of me he would be right now and it keeps me achieving my goals all thanks to him I miss him every second but would not be where I am today of not for him

Chris has worked with my son for close to 10 years as a behavior manager and mentor, but he was so much more than just that to him. He became more like a part of our family, such a great man and friend! He just had a special way about him that made everything calm and okay. Our hearts go out to his family. We miss you so much Chris, always in our hearts and memories. Fly high sweet friend.....

I was very saddened to hear of Chris’s death. I think to describe him best was that he truly was “a great guy” as the one right next to him Mike Bouton Both true professionals touching the life’s of others with a heartfelt talk and gentleness. I worked with Chris for many years and will truly miss him as well as the children we both served. He always made time for those he served. My sympathies to his family. Until we meet again my friend.

It is with great sadness that I write this today. Although my wife and I only knew Chris for a short while we knew he was a dedicated counselor and caring family man. He was a mentor to my Grandson always telling him what great potential he has. They had planed to go fishing together this week, but he was called for a greater need to heaven. He will be missed by all that knew him, but especially by his family. Just keep the memories, with the love and devotion he showed to all he touched . Rest in peace my friend!

I am so sorry to hear about Chris' passing. I have many fond memories of working with Chris through the years, in many different programs as we both moved about the service sector and our paths crossed yet again. It was always great to see his beaming smile. Chris was a great advocate for the youth he worked with, and he impacted countless lives. He will truly be missed. I extend my deepest condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Chris was definitely the best neighbor possible. He was always there to lend a hand for any reason. It seems weird to be outside and not see him or Maggie. Every time I hear a bike I will forever think of Chris! I will never forget how kind he was to my son Nick. to his family, I send my thoughts and love! Mary, Nick, John and nancy

1991 seems so long ago when you came into my life with a huge heart and that smile. Everything you did was for others. You took away their worries and troubles with your laugh. I was fortunate to have just that and there are no words for all that you touched along the way. My love to all and you. May you catch the biggest fish, and keep everyone in your life close, be the protector that you were here on earth. Rest easy Christopher. I will look up now.
Love,
Joy Elizabeth

Hey was my brother from another mother. Very few people come in your life that make you a better person. Critter was one of them people. I am truly lucky to have had him in my life. Love isn’t a strong enough word to express how I felt about him. I will forever cherish every second I had the pleasure to have home around me. Love you brother. Until we meet again.
