"Our deep condolences and thoughtful prayers go out to Lisa, Cole, Jared, and the entire Tomanik family. We will always remember Chris as a loving, caring husband and father. The time he spent with Cole and Jared showed the ever present devotion to his sons. The love Chris gave to Lisa was strong and passionate, as he was such a courteous, kind, and gentle man. He will be forever missed and cherished, as will our memories. The times we spent with Chris and his family in Maui were special times, and we are so grateful to have met such a wonderful person with a wonderful family. Chris looked at everything he saw with a smile, and created a powerful cloud of energy. Again, our prayers are with the Tomanik family through this difficult time. Chris will always have a special places in our hearts."
