I think of the times we had at your apartment in Winnipeg on Kennedy, how I used to come over washed out from the day and we would climb into your fabulous bed and talk until the day did not feel so bad. You were a amazing, creative, beautiful person and will be dearly missed.
Christoper, I honestly don’t even know where to begin. When I first heard of your passing last year, literally right after my accident. I truly couldn’t find the words, I couldn’t accept that this was possibly the reality. I thought it was just a nightmare that I’d wake up from. Here I am, coming up on a year later, and I still feel the same way. I just cannot accept that you are just.. gone. You and I know what loss is, better than most. We have had to say goodbye to some of the most important people in our lives far too early.. There is not a single day that goes by that I don’t think of you, or the time that we were lucky enough to spend together. You got me through some of the darkest days I have ever had to endure in my time thus far on this planet… You were a light in the dark to so many people. A spectacular human being that will always, always have a place in my heart & soul. You were taken far too early. I just take solace in the fact that you are no longer suffering. I really wish you had answered the phone in those weeks leading up to your diagnosis. I really wish I had been able to hear your voice one last time. I love you, Christopher. I always will. xoxo
Just found out this terrible news. Chris was a unique soul with a huge heart. RIP.
Christopher was one of the most kind, genuine and authentic people I have ever met. What a loss. The world is truly a sadder place. Rest well, my friend.
My condolences to Christopher's family and friends. Chris you were and amazing person, so kind and good hearted. Rest in Peace. You will be missed.
My Condolences to the WORLD.... a generous, beautiful caring human? A quiet acheiver delivering acts of kindness. Why do the Good always die Young!

Chris was such a light, I will never forget his hugs, his dry sense of humour, the laughs we had and his amazing spirit.

Thank you for being there for Jasper. You will be missed. Rest in peace, my friend.

Being fairly new to enter Chris’s realm I was impressed with his determination to continue to enjoy his life. He was a kind & generous soul with a dash of spunkiness. His many, many friendships attest to his life while shortened, well lived. RIP Chris.
Rest In Peace Christopher. I will cherish forever the time we spent together.
"In these moments of heartbreaking grief, I remember the reason we have an empty space is because we were blessed with someone who loved us so beautifully, it occupied an entire part of our soul.” Chris was that someone to so many. We will miss his great sense of humour and endless capacity for kindness.
Christopher, your spirit and kindness will never be forgotten and will continue to inspire every sole you touched. Thanks for the laughs and the smiles you brought everyone at Moneris, the partners and your life!

You have no worries anymore my friend and I hope you save a table for the rest of us when we come to visit with you.
There just are no words, my dearest lovely friend. Although I know you're in a better place I can't stop weeping. Lots of hugs and kisses to your folks from me and for Pat also when you meet up with them in heaven. Know you changed the world and left it better than you found it. I love you.
