I was never worthy of being friends with Chris. I still am not. But in middle school our personalities seemingly clicked together like two pieces of a puzzle. He and I both really liked to troll people. I wish I had found Chris sooner after I changed my phone and hung out with him more as an adult, but I'm glad to have got in contact with him one last time and caught up with him and told him how I was doing. Miss ya buddy, I hope I can get to see you again someday, though I feel you went to a different place from where I am going to go. You're my blood, and losing you hurt. I love you and I miss you brother.

It has been my privilege to have met and known Christopher for a short time! He was staying with his father in VA when I met him. My son was a room-mate of George, his father, and my son was suffering from last stage lung cancer. Christopher was kind enough to help take care of my son, Kent.  The few times I spent with Christopher I was drawn to him because he was a kind and gentle spirit!! I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing.  My son Kent has also passed! So my heart goes out to Christopher's parents, because I know how hard it is to lose a son!!

Thank you for bringing your warm smile to a valley filled with heat, hate, and solar panels. You pushed me creatively and had the ability to impersonate any voice you heard. Your humor is how I will always remember you. Thank you Chris.

I made this piece to heal through your loss. Thank you for everything Chris.

You were one of my best friends I've had. In middle school you were like a little brother to me. I remember rough housing with you at P.E. and after school. I still remember your dad coming to my dad's classroom and telling me I gotta be gentler to you. One of my favorite things about you was how bold and based you were. It was something I kind of admired and copied from you. You really contributed to my current personality I have today. I wish I hadn't lost your phone number and lost contact with you for a year. I am glad that I did manage to get in contact with you one last time and catch up with you in December though. I love you man, and while this news hurts incredibly, I can at least find solace knowing without a doubt you're up there in heaven. I just gotta hope I make it there too when my time comes.

Joe and I met Chris many years ago, when his parents went on a marriage encounter weekend and we took care of Chris. He was pretty young, polite and smart. I remember one incident in particular, Joe took him out to pay putt putt. When they returned home and Joe was parking car in garage. Chris asked Joe if he was Irish, he said no I’m Italian . Chris then asked why are you parking in this parking place. Joe bought sign for me. It read,Parking for Irish only! I can’t remember how old he was but he was young.  We will always remember that day with Chris

It was only for a short time that our paths crossed that I got to know you, Christopher. But it was a significant meeting in the sense that I was able to reconnect with your dad, George, after more than 20 years since high school because of you.

Highly intelligent, soft-spoken yet astute in worldly understanding, affable, great smile, kind-hearted, good sense of humor, polite, great son, patient, dedicated... So many impressive words describe you and you will be greatly missed where you made a significant impact in this world through the people you’ve come in contact with and the impression you have made while amongst us. God bless.

Christopher,

You sound like an amazing young man. We did not have the pleasure of spending time and getting to know each other. You are now joined with your abuelito Salomon. Shine and watch over your parents and all of us. 

Con mucho Cariño

My heartfelt love and regret in the passing of your dear son, Christopher. I met him only a few times but recall every time to be filled with hope, curiosity and a powerful eagerness which energized our moments together. I remember his hallarious memes on social media, smart questions about the world and his easy laugh/smile.

Chris touched my life and I am grateful to have met/known him.

Chris was an amazing friend to my brother Marlon and I. When I first met him, it felt like I had known him for years because of his outgoing personality. Every time we hung out, it was so fun. He was the life of the party. He always made us laugh and made sure we had a smile on our faces. He would always check up on us to see if we needed help with school. Chris, thank you for being such an amazing friend to us. We’ll miss going adventures with you. I know you’ll be watching over us from heaven.

Nuestro más sentido pésame. En estos momentos tan difíciles le pedimos a Dios y la virgencita que les de fortaleza para soportar este dolor tan grande. Christopher seguirá siendo una estrella brillante desde donde se encuentre. Siempre tendrán um ángel más cuidándolos. Les mando un fuerte abrazo lleno de fuerzas.

Con mucho Cariño

My adopted son (my son Joshua’s best buddy) my family and I love you so much and we’ll miss you a whole lot. Thank you for your kind heart and for always checking up on how we were doing. I’ll always remember the good memories we shared. From my wedding, to your high school graduation, and from my kid’s birthdays and even the Super Bowl. You were always here with us sharing your smile and company. You were always respectful, kind and willing to listen to my advice. You made us all proud with your determination and strived to be a great son, friend, student, artist and best of all a good Christian. I know that you’re are always going continue to watch over us from heaven next to mother Mary and Jesus. Always love you my niño until we meet again.
María Rivas and family

Hello, Hola, Marhaba, to all;

My parents George, Lorena and I just wanted to reach out and say sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Also, I wanted to say that on Tuesday February 9, 2021 God opened the gates for me and I entered into his Kingdome. I want you to know that I was glad that you were in my life.  As I wait for you up here in Heaven, I am eternally enjoying my afterlife with my grandfathers waiting for you. 

Take your time and enjoy life with your loved ones on this beautiful earth. May God watch over you and keep you at peace. May you look at life in a positive way.  See you up here when it is your time.
Love you all as I begin my new journey and continue with my goal to positively impact the lives of all seven billion people on this planet, one person at a time. 

Please enjoy this website intended to celebrate my life. Feel free to positively contribute by uploading pictures or videos, and by writing short stories. Love to all and peace out.

Mi niño hermoso, aún recuerdo el día en que te conocí; con tan pocos meses de edad y ya tenías un brillo muy especial. Tu sonrisa era tan linda como lo fue hasta apenas ayer.

Cuando digo que brillas, es por que aún mi niño puedes continuar brillando junto a las estrellas. 

Nos dejas mucho amor para recordarte; fui muy afortunada por todos los besos, abrazos y te quieros que me regalaste, pero también nos dejas un gran dolor por tu ausencia y partida física. Confío que estás junto a tus abuelos y que gozas de la presencia de Dios; mientras tanto yo te mantendré en mi corazón, hasta que pueda abrazarte en el cielo.


Feliz Cumpleaños hasta el cielo!! hoy celebro tu vida eterna

Poem by Christopher Durr 3/23/2020 "Summer Breeze"

March 1, 2021
I step outside
In the cool breeze
And I feel the wind on my face
As I continue to walk down the pavement
As I enter and exit buildings
Throughout my day
I see people around me
Some tall
Some short
Some white 
Some black
Some skinny
Some fat
They all seem to be
Angered
Annoyed
Bored
Frustrated
Isolated
Pained
Rushed
Stressed
My God
I think to myself
They don’t realize how good they have it
And I close my eyes
And I smile
I am at peace with myself
And with others
I am content with my life
For I have been blessed by God
And I am free

...and then there was the time Christopher and George we’re visiting and the musical “Hamilton” came up in conversation.  Christopher immediately got up and began singing many of the songs, verbatim, from memory.  I think he might have known them all.

I shouldn’t have been surprised since I had earlier seen a virtuoso piano recital performed by him while blindfolded..after he had only one lesson!  His grandfather Lew, musically gifted himself, would have been proud.

Great Uncle Bill
