Your good friend,

So odd, a few days ago, I was going through my stuff in storage and when I open one of my boxes, right on top was a picture of Chris. He was posing with Jason Braveheart & I in the Dark Hills of South Dakota during a company trip we did together to the Sioux Nation.
I remember the smiles from Chris with all of us together standing on top of Crazy Horse Memorial. What a great day that was, Chris was full of Joy (memories)!
I will never forget that Chris and I never saw eye to eye on politics, but we always respected each other’s views and sometimes came to agreement, he really loved politics. We really enjoy those long discussions ( I mean long). Right now, I am laughing out loud because I was just thinking in the pass of my cell phone ringing and it was Chris calling. I knew he wanted to discuss politics, loved it. That was one of the reasons we really became good friends, besides working together .
Chris you will never be forgotten!
I can't believe it has been 6 years, since your entry into heaven. Miss you buddy.

Happy Birthday my friend. You are truly missed and I hope you had a great birthday bash in heaven!!
I just want to rub it in like you did to me back in the political day when we had those screaming political talks :) So take this my friend. "Thank God Obama is gone and Trump is in" Miss ya! Think about you a lot and someday we will have those loud political talks again,
I can't tell you how many times I've said "what would Chris do?"
Miss you, love you.

Happy Birthday! I am hoping you and Cheri are upstairs laughing at our feeble attempts to negotiate our time on this planet. I miss you. You always had an encouraging word for everyone and truly believed we all mattered. Your work here has suffered a little with your passing but it is to be expected; no one could be expected to show the passion and commitment to the causes you championed because the belief came from you. I find less and less truly committed people by the day and it serves to make me miss you even more. Certainly people are committed but to their own selfish ends. You always showed me the best could be found in nearly everyone. The world is a little darker and a little more cynical since you left. Say hi to all the good people and pray for the rest of us if you feel the urge.

You were a wonderful human being; we are all in our debt.
We think of what you did for our school district every day; We will never forget you.

I knew Christ had brought him into my life to help redeem me. That's what Chris does and he doesn't even know it. He helped me find my salvation. How can you ever thank someone for that? You cant. All you can do is love him for it. Most of you are not aware of the bond Chris and I had. Most of you don't even know me, but I would venture to say that most of you had that special bond that only Chris could bring. Chris, you will always be with me. Love you Chris.

Still stunned at the news that Chris has passed. I worked with Chris for many years and we have argued and laughed together. Through the past two years we have cried together as he was a constant support for me while I fought cancer. Chris always had encouraging words to share with me when I needed it most. Chris embraced life and all it had to offer. My life is richer thanks to him. He definately enjoyed this leg of his journey and I am sure he is smiling at all the kind words being spoken about him. RIP Chris.
