Psalms 56 :8.  Thou Tellest my wanderings: put my tears into thou bottle: are they not in thy book?
God collects your tears Lisa, he sends his comfort to you, allow them to flow, cry as you loved. Although I never got a chance to meet your husband, I know you and you love well. Eli and I send you our heartfelt condolences.❤️

leeeza, I am so sad for you. I know how this feels and it seems so unfair. I love you. I know there will be lots of changes in your life so let me help you. He was such a good man and he was so in love with you. Cherish your memories.

It is with deep sadness that I reflect on the passing of our friend Chris. We shared an incredible bond during our four years together in the Air Force Honor Guard, including a period when we were roommates off base and for a year after our time in the Guard. Chris was not just a good person—he was someone whose presence brought laughter and joy to every moment we spent together. He stood by my side as my best man when Ceci and I got married, a testament to the deep friendship we shared. It’s heartbreaking to think he didn’t have more time, but I will forever treasure the memories and the friendship we were lucky to have with him.

My heartfelt condolences for Annalisa and family! So sorry for your loss!

We’re so saddened to hear of Chris’s passing. We served with him in the Air Force Honor Guard in 1986-1989. He was always funny, kind, and we both considered him a friend.  So many memories!   May God bless his family and loved ones- he will be missed.  To Honor With Dignity. 
All of our Love, 
Tom and Toni Clayton

Chris and I were stationed together twice. First time at Davis-Monthan in Tucson 1997-99 then again at Langley AFB Virginia in 2003-5. We got to be closer and my girls even babysat chris’ kids and we dogsat for each other.  I was honored that Chris asked me to retire him and it was such a nice ceremony. We had stayed in touch over the years but hadn’t met up recently. I did try to get him to detour through Tucson on a recent drive back to NC from Twenty Nine Palms when he and Liam went to the Grand Canyon, unfortunately he didn’t have time. Chris was a stand up man and we had many good times sharing a love of music, great friends and good beer. I salute you, Chris and I will miss you. Sheri, Abi, Liam you are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish I was close to hug you. Lisa and family, I didn’t get to meet you but I know Chris loved you all and was so happy these last 8 years. You are also in my prayers.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for all.

We will miss you very much
