Christopher and my friendship began in 2016 when I was the real estate specialist for the Marine Albany Recruiting Station. Work relationship turned into a friendship with numerous hours of conversations through the years about family, his change in direction from the military to civilian life, his goals of buying a home on Whidbey Island, our family relations and health and fitness. He had great determination in living his life his way, wonderful psychological skills that helped me with life decisions and love for people. He will be missed tremendously. My prayers for comfort go out to his family and friends.

I'm deeply saddened to hear the world has lost such a wonderful man, I met Christopher in Hawaii and will never forget our first interaction which left us both smiling broadly and with a new friendship, one that taught me much in the short time we were in close proximity. I will miss him and his smile, infectious spirit, and wisdom. Sending condolences and love to his family. I'm honored I met him and could call him friend.

Chris and I met while he was at the aloha post office in oregon where he was in training. He was not there very long before he went to Sdnc about 5-10 min from us. He gave me so much advice and how to think about things a different way. He talked about his twin sister and his military service and how he loved oregon. He also talked about much he loved Whidby island in Washington and many other things. We had many conversations and I will always remember the last thing he said to me. The last day I ever saw him. He was such a nice genuine person . You dont meet very many people like him. When we heard of his accident and passing we were all shocked and taken aback. We could not believe that this horrible tragedy happend. We will forever remember him and I send my condolences to his family. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Christopher and I met in 2021. We became friends and he would reach out and see my advice from time to time. In 2023 I assisted Christopher inquiring some property on Whidbey Island. Christopher always took the bull by the horns and was always looking for opportunities. He had a thirst for adventure and to live life on his own terms. Always polite And all his courteous. I will miss you my friend.
