I didn't even know Chris,however I followed his story and hoped and prayed that he would return home safely... My heart was in my mouth when I found out the worst nightmare possible had been revealed as true. He looked like and evidently was such a kind and loved guy. It's heartbreaking. I hope he is at rest now and that his family and friends will stay strong and smile for him xxx

I turn the music up, I got my records on, I shut the world outside until the lights come on, maybe the streets alight maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song, and all the kids they dance until Monday morning feels another life, I'm on a roll this time and heaven is in sight, as we soar walls every siren is a symphony and every tear is a waterfall.

Sweet Stranger
March 14, 2016
Chris, when I heard about you going missing I thought we would find you or you would come home, but it wasn't to be. My heart broke when they found you. I was with friends on Facebook searching and desperately trying to help spread the word to find you. I have a daughter the same age as you, and it hit home to me just how vulnerable all our kids are no matter what age they are. You touched my heart sweet stranger, God bless you Chris, always in my thoughts X

Everyone here still questions why you had to go so young, why you had to leave all you'd worked hard for. everyone misses you, everyone still wishes you were still here with us.
i dont think a day will ever come where we will forget yopu christopher, you've imprinted on all who came to know you.
ill certainly never forget you and ill certainly never stop missing you.
rest in peace angel
i hope your still smiling up there.
