Tributes
Leave a tributeYou will never be forgotten!
When you realize nothing will ever be the same
And time is divided into two parts
Before and after this
I’m sending you all my love now and forever.
With gratitude and respect,
Geri J.
God bless you son. Love and miss you forever. Dad
Love,
Dad
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little hometown
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Roundin' third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
And was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh, why? There's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied, and now you're gone, and we cried
'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song, your absolutely beautiful song

The Ride for Semper Fi
The journey is from Scottsdale to San Diego on October the 12th. This year their goal will be to raise 3 hundred thousand dollars which they will present to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund during the closing ceremony at MCRD in San Diego.
David Kistner does the ride each year, he is the one that will tell Christopher's story to his group and take his picture on the ride to the MCRD. David's son has done 2 or 3 tours of Iraq and his job was finding and dismantling IEDs and other roadside bombs. He knows first hand the negative psychological effects, his son suffers from PTSD.
David can been seen in the photo holding Christopher's photograph that he will carry with him on the ride.
Building the urn
Your grandad Flatt and I put many hours and lots of love into honoring you with this urn for your ashes. We worked hand in hand in joining the narrow cherry wood boards with glue and clamps, then cut each side to the correct size and angle. I then had each side and the top laser etched. The EGA on top and an inscription on each of the sides. We spent hours hand sanding each piece before assembly and I spent many hours hand rubbing oil into the wood while thinking of you and how much I will miss you. Someday we will once again be together.
Everlasting love to you my son. You are in my thoughts constantly.
