I met Chris a few years ago on a trip to Panama. He had a great sense of humour and quick wit. He was always a gentleman, a great listener and had a gentle smile.
May God bless you and keep you safe. I will miss our talks
Love Michele xo
Christina says
Chris was one of a kind and he will be missed. He had a great sense of humour and a generous heart. His heart was truly broken losing Taira. Grateful that he had such good friends in Ken and Brenda who I know helped him greatly with their friendship. RIP till we meet again.

Sari Chateau says
Chris was an amazing brother-in-law, and I’m forever grateful that my sister brought him into our family. He made my sister happy. I loved his sarcastic sense of humor, his generosity and his willingness to help his family and friends. He sometimes put on a hard facade, but only to cover up his soft heart. He always wanted everyone around him to live up to their potential and wasn’t afraid to tell you how you screwed up, but ask and he would help you figure out a way to fix things. My sister’s passing broke his heart, and the only consolation I have, is that he’s with her now. I’ll miss him.

Dear Chris I will never forget you and altho we didn’t visit regularly our texts back and forth were so cheerful and meaningful from you. Getting to know you over the last 10 years where great. You are a great man and I wish that we still have you here. I miss you xo But I know you are so happy to be with the love of your life. You and Taira made a beautiful couple and I enjoyed visiting you both and attending your wedding….At the wedding was where I truely found out how much Chris and Ken met to each other. Cherish that Ken ( which I know you do) and always talk about him as much as you want..I’m here to listen. I’m so happy your open to Chris s friends….it looks like Chris may have given me a friend. Thanks Chris. I’ll always love you my dear friend
Tracey Sanchez says
Dearest Chris….
I’ve so enjoyed getting to know you over the last number of years. I will always cherish the fun and the chats we shared whilst we were all on vacation.
I have no words…..other than to say , how very sad I am.
Ken says
Chris nobody knows how close we become. Taira asked me to look after you before she passed and that my friend was an amazing journey. What I want to know is who is going to look after me. We shared our lives . People said it would not work the three of us living together . They were so wrong we thrived together. You are a good man and I was so lucky to have met you. We will honour and cherish you for the rest of our life. We will meet again .It pains me to let you go. I love you …I love you forever
Brenda says
Chris, no words can explain how much I miss my Amigo. We had plans for our retirement and how many funny stories we would talk about in our wheel chairs. Three Amigos, always and forever. Our HOME is not the same without you. I look around and wait for you with that amazing smile to come around the corner. I miss our deep talks about life and everything in between. I LOVE you and MISS you Amigo. xoxo
