Condolence: We had our fights over the years, the worst one was all because of a stupid hat that someone had lost. Looking back now, It's so funny. You were an amazing friend to me over the last few years, even though we didn't talk very often. Every time we saw each other, it was like not even a day had passed. Even now, I look back a couple years, and laugh because of something stupid we did. I'll never forget the day that you called me a "bad a** bi***", with the biggest, stupidest grin on your face, telling me to ice what could have been a broken jaw. I am so proud of the man you became, and will miss you every day. Rest in peace my friend, you will never be forgotten.

Condolence: I found out about your passing through a FB post where someone tagged you in your own obituary so it passed through my news feed. All day I have been trying to think how I would describe our friendship and what you meant to me. I can't find the right words or put it all into a few sentences and sum it up. The last time we saw eachother was the day before I moved here to Montreal 4 yrs ago and I remember walking to the c-train station and we had one of those moments that confirmed for me that you were different then most and in all the best ways. I was so happy that we kept in touch and I really loved that no matter what either one of us was going through or struggling with there was never anything other then encouragement and acceptance. You were my cheerleader and I was yours. When I was still in Calgary we survived through a lot of things together and always had each others back. If I was in a good place I was bringing you with me and vice versa. I have so many memories with you , I struggle to pick a favorite. We were kind of a odd couple as far as friends go and I think for those who knew the both of us it would surprise them to know how close we became. I am so sad that your gone, I don't know how to say goodbye. We have had a country between us for the last 4 years but never failed to keep in touch and I will miss our random check in's . You were a fantastic human being and the world lost a significant amount of sparkle , you will always be one of my favorite people and I hope you knew that in life. Rest Easy my Friend, I will still check in and talk to you just in a different way now I suppose. Nothing but love...... Amie

Condolence: So many memories we made in such short time And much time has passed since we last spoke But every once in a while you’d cross my mind And I always pictured your face with that infectious smile. We can never truly understand the effect we can have in another’s life, how big an impression simple words may leave, or how short times spent together can last forever. You were wise beyond your years and struggled so much more than you deserved to but from within you shawn a light so bright upon everyone you met. “Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you” - Walt Whitman

Condolence: Little Chris; I’m so heartbroken. I remember junior high and I had probably the biggest crush on you ever. You never made me feel bad about myself, rather, you’d tell me I was beautiful. You were so kind hearted and I am so sad we drifted apart as friends. I’ll definitely remember science camp, south centre mall trips or even just hanging out. I’m so sorry I didn’t keep in touch over the years. I’ll miss you, old friend and I hope you rest easy. Xoxo.

Condolence: We hadn't spoken in a couple years... But we've known each other since elementary... We went through some hard times and some amazing times together and I only wish I didn't let this one person get between us. Either way you played a part in my life and taught me some good lessons and I'll absolutely never forget the amazing person you were. You truly were special to me no matter how long we went without speaking. I'm so proud of you and you will forever have a place in my heart. To Chris' family blood or not my sympathy goes out to all of you as I know so many of you took care of him in so many ways. The world lost a real soldier. I will never forget you. Till we meet again my dear friend. I love you

Condolence: My dearest Little Brother, we fought long and hard through many battles together side by side, i'll never forget your giant grin of a smile, your loyalty to your friends and family, and resound to become a better man. You're the younger brother i never had, and i cherish every moment we had together. Epitaph on my own Friend An honest man here lies at rest, As e’er God with His image blest: The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d, Few heads with knowledge so inform’d: If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this. ~Robert Burns

Condolence: Chris it has been years since I last saw you and I am sorry we drifted apart. You were like a little brother who annoyingly fell into my life and I am so glad to have known you and shared so many amazing adventures with you. You were always happy and full of life. You made in imprint in my heart and I'm sad we won't get to have any more adventures. The world lost a light that shines brighter than any light imaginable and it is so much darker without you. I miss our long nights where we talked about everything and nothing but am proud to have called you my friend.

Condolence: Christopher, you have been my best friend for over 20 years. You were my first kiss in elementary school, first boy to ever hold my hand, and my first boyfriend. We have kept close over the years even until recently. I am so proud of the person you have become and I am so happy I was able to see you grow over all these years! With both the good and bad memories I will cherish them all. Ever since I found out about your passing I have not been able to stop thinking of all our memories. Mainly the ones from when I was at Bosco and you went to Queensland downs. Oh this is just so unreal. I will always love you my dear friend you are like a brother to me. Rest In Paradise babe
