Rollie and I, though we live away from you, are fighting the grief of losing a son of yours and a friend of our sons , Shawn.. We will always remember the football games and comradery that our boys shared during their youth in Smithville. God Bless and keep you all.

Kenny, Melody and family, I was so very sorry to hear of Chris’s passing. I know this will leave a big whole in your family that can never be filled. I am sure “Big Papa” was there to meet him . Keeping you all in my prayers. Love you all.

I have a son and I also treasure the time I spent with him. I have not seen Chris and his son. But I can feel the pain Evan is feeling now. Evan we love you! I am short of words….

To his son Evan, who he dearly loved, Parents (Melody)/(Kenny) , all other Family & Friends of Christopher, I offer my deepest condolences, knowing that no words I can offer will ease your sorrow. I pray that you may be healed, and always rejoice in your memories of Christopher. Chris was an Amazing young man, whom I had the pleasure of meeting almost 4 years ago (we worked on the same team for 2 years, but continued to chat whenever we’d run into each other). He was such a kindhearted gentle man, who could and would light up the room with his awesome smile. He was mostly shy, until you found out something that interested him (he always shared news, events projects, sports with me about Evan) and we loved chatting about movies, and then he could talk (boy could he talk). I will truly miss his smile and friendship, may he forever Rest in Peace. God’s Blessings to All and Everyone, that had the privilege of knowing him.

I love you Evan. Your daddy will always be in your heart.
