"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."

"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"
