I am very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed playing on the same baseball team with Chris when we were young. Like many people we lost touch as we became adults but every time I came home to Madison during the holidays and I would see Chris he would give me the best hug and always make me smile and laugh. I will miss him. I apologize that I will not be able to come into town for the services but I will pray for you all.
Great times! Good friend! Many many fond memories! My deepest condolences to the family, especially his children. Rest in peace.
Whit, A wonderful guy, teammate, softball player, and overall a true friend. You will be missed and loved but, never forgotten. I'll see you soon brother!
Praying for all the family in the loss of Chris. May God comfort all of you in this time of sorrow. From: Aunt Ann and family from McMinnville, Tn.
So sorry for the family loss. I know his kids more than him but i know he was a good father haven't seen him in years though but praying for the family especially the kids.
I am so very sorry for your recent loss. Losing a loved one can be a very difficult time for many families. At Acts 24:15 we are promised to see our loved ones again. Won't it be wonderful to see that time come true? Please accept my sincere condolences.
