My condolences to Chris' family. I taught Chris his first year at Woodhall. What I will remember about him is his humor and sometimes, you know, when he looked at you, it was such a looking into you. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry to hear about Chris's death. While I started teaching after he graduated, many of the best stories I've heard from the recent past at Woodhall include him and relate to his leadership, sense of humor, and the friendships he developed while at school. I cannot be at the Memorial service, but his family is in my prayers.

Chrissssss, I just talked to your mom and dad and told them how horrible I feel right now loosing such a good kid.
But you know what my friend, I will only remember our laughs, our talks and our sessions. I feel lucky that I have met you and honored that I was part of your recovery. You taught me so much and I am grateful for that. One regret, I wish I could have done more to help you winning your last battle!
Rest in Peace wherever your energy is going! Love you man!

I not really sure what to write here. This is really hard for me. I'm having trouble coming to grips that you're dead. Typing this is getting really hard for me. Of all the people I can think of, "rest in peace" is the most ill fitting. Although I didn't really know you all that much I still what to say from the time I spent with you, you really made a positive impact. So I wish you the best and I hope that what ever's after is to your liking.

Dear Chris, I will miss the many fun and great memories we had over the years. I will never forget your first year at Woodhall. I thought I was going to have to my work cut out for me :) You were angry, cautious, and lost. Over time you grew into a wonderful young man, full of life, love, compassion. You have touched so many lives. I am still in disbelief you are gone... you will forever be in our hearts and thoughts.

I love you chris. You made me laugh harder than anyone I've ever been with. You made me and everyone else around you smile incessantly. I will miss your 3 am phone calls entailing stories about your crazy life. I will miss holding your head in my lap while you snored like a grizzly bear. I will miss dreaming with you. I'll never forget the first time you took me to Connecticut. I've never seen you happier then when you were with your family and your extended family at Woodhall. I feel terribly guilty for not staying in better touch with you, I wish there was something I could have done.

You better be waiting for me somewhere with that condom-wrapper wedding ring, we'll seal the deal like we always talked about. 'Til then ♥

Oh Chris, it hasn't sunk in yet. I'm at a loss for words, but all I know is I WILL see you again someday, so instead of saying goodbye, I'll say see you later my friend.

You had a lot of great posts but, I will never forget "I like your arm skin"... Seriously wtf lol.

Im soo sorry to hear about this, it was a while since we talked and im sad to see things didnt get any better RIP Chris you will be missed

Andrew C. Keller

Chris, the fact that you are no longer with us is finally starting to hit home for me. I have been looking through our past Facebook conversations recently and I realized that you never got around to sending me those pictures of your new kitty :(. Considering the fact that I never got around to taking you on that caribou hunt I promised, I will call us even :). I have contacted Sgt. Toomey and have submitted a recommendation for Pvt. Selridge to be posthumously awarded the gold star for kindness and badassery. You were one of the funniest guys I knew and our random discussions about anything and everything never failed to put me in a good mood. I am going to miss you bunches and bunches. See you sometime within the next 70 years.
