"Sadly, I just learned of Chris' passing. Having coached football with Chris I saw his passion for kids, sports and life. I will fondly remember the season we coached a struggling team but one that gave a foundation to kids for success the rest of their lives."

"I was deeply saddened to hear the loss of Chris. Lisa, I can still smell the flourishing bouquet of lilys at your desk which were a constant reminder that true love really does exist. I have never seen so much love radiate between people like it freely flowed between you two...almost otherworldly....just like a fairy tale. Chris was a beautiful man in all sense of the word and fully embraced every single moment - so much so that he could have written the book on Enjoying Life and have it achieve Oprahs seal of approval. His zest for life always made me smile and I have always carried that with me. Draw on your inner strength and the strength of your family during these times. Chris will forever will be missed and leaves a beautiful legacy behind. My thoughts and love are with you and the boys. XO"

"My heart just breaks, everytime i look at anything that reminds me of you- And i hope that you know how much you mean to me. Chris you were like a dad to me, always showed me how to be a lady, and how to have class., Like my beautiful auntie.. I looked up to you both, and really appreciated you having me as a part of your family.. I know it wasnt always easy- but i will never forget everything you taught me and told me.You were always so good to me. . I wish we had more time together, because i think now you would be proud of me. I wish you could have met my baby boy Rhyder, who is my whole world. When he grows up i sure hope he is alot like you.. and your sons. You were such a great dad, and such a great role model. Im going to miss you so much, but i will cherish you in my heart forever- I dont understand why someone so amazing was taken from us but im going to try and believe that everything happens for a reason and continue to make you proud. Lisa, Cole, And J Bear i love you.. Uncle you will never be forgotten.. I love you so much.. xoxo lindsay"
