You know I miss you.
Don't you know that I miss you?
Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night:
I would write to you from Museum Mile.
I toast to you, your whisper, your smile.

Happy Earthly Birthday Chris. Another year has passed and I miss you so much. I think about you alot and that brings a smile to my face. You are always here in my heart and mind. I know you are having an awesome time up there. Someday we will all be together. Until then.......We love you! ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

Today marks 3 years since you went to Heaven. I know you are happy up there but I miss you so much down here. I miss your laughter, your humor and the way you truly cared about all of us. I miss the good times when we laughed so hard. We will be together again someday. Until then watch over us, especially Kim. And know that I love you and miss you. Have a great time up there with all of our family and loved ones. Love you Chris. ❤️ ❤❤❤❤

Happy earthly birthday Chris. I think about you often. I see so much of you in Freddy it's amazing. I miss and love you so much. The songs I hear remind me of all the good times we had together. With you playing the guitar and me singing. We made quite a duet. Freddy will never forget the airplanes you both flew in muttis yard. I'm so happy to have these memories and so many more. I know we all will be together when it's our time. That will be a HUGE celebration. Until then, have a great time up there. I love you Chris. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Gone but never forgotten. Thinking of the fun times and great chats we used to have. Love conquers all.

Dearest Chris:

As Albert Einstein stated, Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form.” I truly believe these words and I know as someone who was fascinated by physics and an eternal student of it’s teachings, you always knew we are all composed of energy. Energy never dies. It is always changing and transforming.

With that thought in my mind, I am convinced that your energy/soul continues to live on. Although it may not be in the form that your loved ones want i.e. seeing you in the flesh, but
it gives me great comfort in knowing that you are out there with the greats of physics such as Einstein and Newton, exploring the universe and galaxies.

You are greatly missed and loved and please continue to show any signs that your energy continues to live on! I hope you are driving the hottest BMW up there with our departed loved ones!

Oh Chris I can't believe it's been 2 years already. I miss you so much. You always made me laugh whenever I saw you. You were so good to Freddy. He loved when you flew the airplane with him. He looked up to you. I see so much of you in Freddy. From his face to even your mannerisms and even the way you said certain words. Those Maierhofer genes sure are strong. I miss hearing you talk about pools to us and I am amazed at all the things you knew. You even played guitar for us many times. I loved singing stairway to heaven with you. Whenever I hear that song I stop and think of you. I loved the way you always had Kimmys back. No matter what you always had time for us all. You were muttis fixer of all things plumbing. Thank God she had you to help her so many times. I will never forget the rides in your car where you told me to drive and I floored it to see how fast it could go. I can go on and on. You are so loved and missed by us all. We will all be together soon and then we could have us another ride. Until then know I love you Chris......till we meet again.

I love you so much. May angels lead you in.

God I miss you . All the laughs , the jokes, and fun. How proud you were of your car and all the work you did rebuilding engines and everything else you did nonstop to your cars . Such an incredibly talented human , how you remodeled your house , pretty much rebuilt that as well. So many things you were great at , as well as a great person, caring , giving , helping . You’re angel wings are well earned . Miss you cuz . Miss both of you  

God, I am so late, and I am so sorry.

You had your last legal indoor cigarette with me at the Omega Diner. I cooked you dinner and had a hangover from the cooking wine and NyQuil I took to sleep. It's the only hangover I've had in my life other than my wedding day. You took me riding and introduced me to Eisley and Imogen Heap, and you tried to kiss me at a Jimmy Eat World Show.

You made fun of me incessantly because you knew I could take it. "God forgive me for saying this," you joked of my MySpace (remember that?) photos, "but you're much prettier in person." You reminded me of my worth when I pursued people who didn't see it. You got me flowers—purple artificial irises from Family Dollar—after I nagged you for a year or so about it. I still have them.

I know you liked dark humor and admired my dad, so it's bittersweet that you left this world on his birthday. You once said he could build a Flux Capacitor with a rubber band in his garage, and I wish he would. Because then we'd have had more time.

As an uncle I never really knew you. Nobody deserves to leave this earth at such a young age. Rest in peace Chris.

Shock isn’t the proper word to use here, Winters. I don’t think there’s a word that’s been invented that can describe the loss we all feel at your early passing.
You touched so many, made so many feel welcome, not just in Omega, but in the entire STO family. You were a leader, a mentor, and a friend to us all. You made people feel special, important, valued...and those are extremely hard things to do, but you did them with ease.
You will be missed everyday, my friend, and my heart breaks for your family during this extremely difficult time. 
I will see you again, RIP brother.

Yo Chris. It's been a while and to be honest I was a little concerned you weren't on as much playing STO so when I figured out about you passing away, I was left speechless. You're a hell of a friend and you always pulled in people around you which is how I came to meet you. I'm going to miss all the fun laughs we used to have my guy. Rest well.

Chris you were like a mentor to me some of my best memories were of you pushing me to be better as much as I annoyed you you would always be there to help. I remember you pushed me to talk with the fleet despite my voice diffrences and becuase of that some of my closest friends are becuase of you. I have many memories to many to share but you'll be forever missed by us dear friend

You were the friend everyone needs and the friend we were all glad to Have... When we first met u taught and trained me in some of the best ship builds and crew abilitys.... Damn you will be missed dear friend even in death the bonds and friendships prosper all do to your heart rest easy My Friend... MrEver

Chris. We've played a lot of Star Trek Online with you, and I still can't believe you are gone. We held a memorial for you in the game today, around 70 fleet and armada members attended at Quarks on DS9 at short notice, you reached a lot of people. We don't know what happened to you, we probably never will, and we will all miss you. You created something special... And you always helped others... And now may you boldly go forth, into the next life. Omega Directive will never be the same without you, but we'll do our very best to live it up to your expectations. Good luck my friend. And good bye.

Chris. Buddy. Man, I cant believe your gone. You touched so many people all over the world in sto. Omega Directive wont be the same without you. Sto wont be the same. You were a pillar in the game. You helped so many people and we all had alot of fun man. May you boldly go wherever it is. Know we all are thinking of you and your family in this horrible time. You will be sorely missed. I know I am honored to have been able to call you friend. Until we meet again friend. RIP WINTERS.

Chris there isn't words to describe how this makes me feel.. a lot of people have passed close to me but this one hurts the most. You were my idol even though you never knew it. I'm glad we got to be friends for so long and share so many awesome experiences. Even the fights.. we did terrible things to eachother but always forgave eachother (damn girls) cause we knew we were too good for that. Thanks for teaching me to be witty and make fun of people to make other people like me. It helped a lot. I'm sorry you couldn't win the last fight but you and Mikey are together now. Rip burger. Love u bro

Chris you will be missed. You always were making me laugh! We met when I was just 14! Many nights we just drive around blasting Saves The Day or The Rocking Horse Winner. You sold me my very first car, your silver Monte Carlo. Then after i fixed it up you tried to buy it back from me. Loser. So redic that you and Johnny G would randomly show up to my sister and I's house to play Planet Hollywood. There were so many times you expressed how lost you felt. How even though you knew you were loved, you somehow felt unlovable. I feel guilty that we lost touch and we had a falling out towards the end there. I hope you are at peace now. Rest easy my friend.

My dear cousin Chris, yet another angel called to heaven too soon . I know you are in good hands with Mikey and pop pop to greet you with lots of laughter and Cheer, and I’m sure they will whisk you away in a shiny new beemer through the pearly gates. I will never forget our laughs about Aunty Clause, McDonald’s birthday parties , Easter egg hunts , band practice in the shed, seaside heights nights , to fast forwarding into our 30s and having tues night Ivy League specials , how you loved the kids, your many talents as a business owner , photographer , a car mechanic, a carpenter, a true jack of all trades, there wasn’t much you couldn’t do, and self taught most of it . I still don’t believe it, that you are truly gone, does not comprehend in my head . I’m so glad my last interaction with you was holding the kids, taking pictures with your mom, laughing , talking , full of life and happiness, eager to buy a house, and always working on doing things to your bmw that you loved to show! That will be my best memory . I love you Chris . I hope that you are at peace and God gives your mom and dad the strength to get through this .

Our family is keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear chris. I’m sorry.I love you. Your the best cousin in the . I hope you have a nice time in heaven.I love you.
Love
Freddy

My dear Christopher. Words cannot express how sad I am feeling to know that you are not with us anymore. You were a wonderful cousin to both Kim and Freddy and we all love you so much. You were always there to make us laugh and I remember having such good times with you. You will be forever missed until that one day when we all are together again in celebration with the angels singing. For now I will miss you but I know you are with your brother Michael And Pop Pop. For now Chris rest easy and be free for you are now in the best place possible.....Heaven. Until we meet again......Love you for eternity.
Your Aunt Greta
