11 years today you went to a concert and never came home thinking of you and your family always.
11 years on still wish I could have met you beautiful stranger
never forgotten x

Thinking of you Chris and your family at Christmas time.
Sending love - never forgotten. x

Love you always Chris .

I am forever sorry for the loss of dear Chris. He touched my heart and now I carry him in my heart. And I often think of his mum and his family, even if I don´t know them personally. I wish Chris´mum and the whole family strength and courage. Sometimes I just hug his mum in my thoughts.

His mum taught me when I was younger, I didn’t know him but his mum was such a lovely woman and he seemed like such a lovely man too

I didn't know you, Chris, but I was at the same gig you were at all those years ago. I remember the sadness I felt in the aftermath, that you'd gone to there to have the time of your life but never returned home. Such a tragic loss! I think about you whenever i think about that gig now. I hope that you are at peace.

I’m forever sorry for the loss of Chris, I didn’t know him personally but was at the same concert and I remember the desperate search to find him. I and my friends were so very sorry to hear he had passed away, Thinking of his friends and family at this time xxx

10 Years Chris, it has gone by so quickly. You were the stranger who touched my heart. I think of you and your family often , and it still feels so wrong that you were taken away from all who loved and cared for you. Play your beautiful music up there Chris ...Rest easy sweetheart 

10 years since Chris was missing has gone so quickly but the pain never leaves it just changes and comes back when you don’t expect it. Many have been in touch this week as they take time to remember Chris and his short but memorable impact by his kindness. Our world needs kindness at the moment so let’s all carry on with Chris in our hearts. Love you Chris

you have came into my mind as always .. just thinking it will be 10 years next month how is that even possible I remember the desperate search for you like it was yesterday.
Thinking of your family and friends as always x

Often think of you when at a concert or put my wellies on or go to Heaton park. We searched for you with hope, never knew you Chris but still shed tears that you were not safe and think of your family. I have a boy your age and cannot imagine the pain. R.I.P young man xx

In my thoughts always Chris. The stranger who came into my life and my heart. We all celebrate your life, and hope you are looking down and smiling knowing you are loved and missed always ❤

Missed so much at this time of year love you

After 9 years it is so special to still hear from strangers and Friends. You are missed so much and never a day goes by without a tear. I hold on to our memories and hear you sing through the blackbird who visits every day. Love you always Mum

Chris you are in my thoughts always. You are the sweet stranger who touched my heart and my life. You were taken from your family and friends too soon and I think of them too. You touched so many peoples lives and we all think of you ....another year ....time passes quickly. Hope your playing your music up there Chris. Sleep well sweet stranger ❤

Everytime I hear "we are young" by Fun, I think of you. We were in the same year at high school. You were such a nice guy. I remember sitting with my husband checking the cctv for the petrol station we ran on Middleton Road to see if we could see you. I made him replay that cctv at least 20 times. I was sure we would get to see you on it. We didn't. I was devastated. We drive round crumpsall and central Manchester hoping to see something. When I read the post that your body had been found "we are young" was playing on the radio and I cried. I cried my eyes out. I couldn't believe it, this wasn't supposed to happen. Not to you. Not to anyone.

Thinking of you, can’t believe next week it will be 9 years since you was at the stone roses concert having the time of your life.
I love to come on here and see the photos posted of you you looked such a fun,beautiful man who I wish I knew.

Remembering you, - thinking of your family and friends. I remember meeting up in manchester to meet your friends and dad to put up flyers around town in hope to find you.
You touched so many hearts.
Still think of you and I’m sending so much love to your mum and dad and family and all that knew you.
Love From Cilla, Manchester
