Chris had struggles his whole life, but was finally coping better.  He was a great son,brother,husband and father.  We thought he was getting better handling things in his life, but that wasn't meant to be.  On Oct. 8th, 2008 he took an accidental overdose of his pain meds and over the counter medication and he passed away.  He had turned into such a great son before this tragedy.  He loved his music, that was a part of his everyday living.  Fishing, camping,martial arts was something special he did with his stepdad, Travis Mitchell.  Chris has such a great laugh.  He could come up with the silliest of things and would make everyone laugh till their stomachs hurt.  He is loved and missed every minute of everyday.  There is so much more to say about Chris that I could write my own book on him.  I am his Momma and he will always be my son!
