Debra, I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and the children in my prayers. I've really enjoyed getting to know and grow with you, Chris, and the kids over the years. He had a one of a kind smile. May God give you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Saying prayers for all of you during this difficult time! Chris and I were friends in school. He was a good guy and I'm sure a very good husband and father to all of you. May you all find comfort in your memories of him!

We are so very sorry to hear of Chris's passing. We were his youth group leaders during his high school years and we have so many wonderful memories of our times together. Two years ago we ran into him at the Kellogg Breakfast Table. It was such a treat to reconnect, to meet his children. Our hearts are deeply saddened and are thankful that he is safe in the arms of Jesus.
