Chris is weighing on my mind today for some reason. Maybe he's stopped by to remind me to get out of my own head like he always did at FinPac. He had an uncanny ability of getting me to "snap out of it" with his witty banter and grounded spirit. I'll never forget when Chris reached out to me last year to extend his sympathies after my father passed. I hadn't talked to him in quite a while and he was kind enough to reach out offering support. That was a testament to his character. He set the bar for professionalism and I'm convinced there isn't another Mariah fan who could hold a candle to him. I'll miss his sense of humor, his style, the way he carried himself with such confidence and poise. To Chris's family and close friends, I'm sorry for this devastating loss. I hope that time heals you and the memories you have of him remain clear, as if he never left. I'll never forget you, Chris. 

My heart is breaking over hearing this about my nephew,  Christopher.  I never got a chance to share his loves and life.   My heart goes out to his family and friends, but most especially to his brother Jacob.

 Army life kept me from being able to meet you Jacob, but I got pictures and updates for a couple of years after you were born.  I will always love you unconditionally and have you in my heart and prayers.  Please heal well from this and don't lose hope.  

My best memory of Christopher was at my son Bobby's 1st birthday.   Bobby tried so hard to copy that unique way Christopher would crawl. One side foot, the other his knee.  They played so well together that day.  Bobby spent months trying to figure out how to copy Christopher.   I never expected that to be one of the last times I saw him.

Treasure the memories that make you smile, laugh, and love.   The pain will never leave, but his loss in our life doesn't make his loss in our hearts.  He has always been and always will be in my heart.   

Blessed be precious boy.  Love you Christopher.

Greetings Tokin Family,
I feel very blessed to have known Chris since he was 11 years old!  In 2003 we had our first annual Easter Egg Hunt in White River Estates.  You can ck out the pics.  We always were talking and planning our next trip to the store and/or thrift store.   We encouraged each other with prayer and planning the next EE hunt.  I'm very sad to write about  him  but I'm glad we had some precious time/years together.  Hugs and love to mom, dad, Jacob, aunts, uncles, cousins and more.  Will be praying for your strength to get through these difficult days and months.  So sorry,  Sonya & Scott

Christopher was so much fun to b with. I will miss his sweet laugh. My condolences to all who knew him and loved him…

Best friend, those words do not describe mine and Christophers relationship enough. He has been my other half for the last 13 years. He has made a huge impact on my life and so many life's. I am at a loss for all the correct words to say to express this tragic loss. He was a wonderful, amazing, carasmayic, adventurous person, adorable person. We have been inseparable since the day we met. I have always looked forward to haveing him in my life forever. We have countless stories and memories together. 
Christopher you will always be missed and Loved. I am truly sorry you never found your worth ad much as all that love you did.
I LOVE YOU CHRISTOPHER😍🥰

I will miss you Christopher. You are so loved. Rest peacefully and know that we will always remember you with love and laughter. We had some great, long :) conversations. It’s memories I’ll always hold on to.
Love you…

I will always remember Chris for the utmost respect he showed all and his fantastic sense of style 
Rest In Peace 

My sincerest condolences to the family. Chris was such an articulate, sweet person. He will be greatly missed by everyone here at Financial Pacific Leasing. My heart goes out to his loved ones. May you rest in piece dear one. 

Chris was one of the coolest people I've ever met. One of my fondest memories is when he and I and some friends went to sing karaoke at a bar. He refused to sing, but always signed me and some frie do up to sing songs he wanted us to sing. He was a lot of fun and an amazing friend. He is truly missed. 

Chris was always there for me when I needed him. He always set the mood wherever we traveled to. Our friendship is something I'm never going to forget because it became a brotherhood. Coming to Arizona a year ago, I didn't think I would ever find a wild soul like his. He gave me hope to stay. There will never be anyone else that I can call "My Mariah". Not knowing each other for many years, yet spending the most time we could...I know One Sweet Day we'll eventually be together. I'm going to miss him.

I’ll never forget the night you sang Mariah in the hot tub up in Tahoe 💜 rest easy buddy, glad you’re finally at peace! 

I met Chris through Amanda after I moved to Reno. The man was larger than life and had a personality to match. At first we didn’t get along but after he showed up at our apartment and just never left it was hard to ignore the brightness that followed him. We had so many heart to heart convos siting in the garage just talking as a party happened around us. The time he almost got me attack by an owl. After he said they weren’t dangerous. (I knew they where not friendly) buttttt he really wanted to pet it and who am I to stop him. The way he made me listen to every Mariah song until I knew them by heart. (Even though I was more of a rock or country person) You couldn’t leave Chris for to long by the radio unattended. Lol. He was so kind even to me who was not in a good place at the time he met me. He told me his best memory of me recently and it was one I did not remember. It showed me  that sometimes the little things you do that may not mean anything to you, have a huge affect on some else. Thank you for showing me that and thank you for allowing me to be your friend. I will remember you. 🖤

I took the boys to the lake today and had mariah on the radio which of course I hated every minute but it reminds me of you. And before you worry of course I had the sunroof open. I miss you so much boyyyyfran. 

I had the pleasure of working with Chris for a couple of years. Chris was a beautiful soul! He brought so much joy to my life in just a short amount of time. Chris always made me smile! He was funny, spunky, feisty, caring, smart, helpful, hard working and so much more! I always appreciated the time he would take to help me and others in need. No matter how busy Chris was, he took the time to help you. I mentally would tell myself that “I want to be like Chris when I grow up”…lol! Even though he was ten years younger than me! I enjoyed our friendship that we had, I will forever treasure our talks & time that we shared. You will always hold a place in my heart! So grateful for our friendship Chris. May you Rest In Peace.  Praying for comfort & peace for all. Love Always, Audre ❤️

Chris’s standard of excellence is something that I admired about him. The beautiful thing about this invaluable trait was how it encouraged/inspired others to have this same mind set.
In addition, he was funny, a trend setter & was true to himself.  He will be deeply missed by many.
Praying for his family as they navigate through this difficult ttime.

Rest easy Chris - 

I enjoyed working with Chris and talking with him.  He took such pride in his work.  He always went above and beyond for customers and to help.  He was a kind soul and he will be deeply missed.  

I did not get to work with Chris as long as many of the others but I recall my very  first impression of him was of a dedicated and knowledgeable employee. My next impression was that he was a delightful spirit and a joy to be around. I'm certain the world was a much better place with him in it. God Bless and Godspeed Chris. 
My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

So much to say but I know I should keep it short. I was blessed to work with Chris Several years at FP so I have quite a few stories when we were all in the office.
Every interaction I had with Chris made me happy I got to talk to him. We spent many times in the Kitchen or at his desk when we were all in the office ….catching up, sharing whatever was going and I always left feeling so happy I got to see him. Chris was a go to for many of us because he cared so much about the job, helping people learn and took pride in whatever he did. 

 Chris was a great listener, had great advice and focused his whole attention on you.  Not a common trait anymore, but Chris possessed that quality that I admired.  Chris was so polite and patient. When he came to our desks, he would quietly and patiently wait and never interrupt. One of us would say loud enough for the group to hear  "Chris is here" because he was so quiet and polite that he would wait far too long if we didn't announce his arrival. It just became a thing we would say no matter what when he showed up even if he wasn't waiting long. He had a lot to do but somehow had patience to not ever rush any of us...even if we were talking about non work related items.  

Chris was Sassy, Smart, Quick Witted , had such a lovely smile and was Unapologetically himself as I knew him. Very brave and bold. Chris was consistent in how he treated me and I will always be grateful that we met. He was a gem, a lovely human  and he will be missed very much!!!   A big loss for our FP Family in all kinds of ways. Glad we got him on this earth for the time we did. 

My condolences to the family as I am sure there is a gigantic hole in your lives with Chris being gone.  Many continued Prayers for your family in this very difficult and tragic time. 


Chris only spent a short time with our division here at Financial Pacific and I only had a few dealings with him.  But each time he handled things with urgency and was precise.  In fact, he was so good at the job that I bypassed the general email box and went to him directly on a few things.  Chris took pride in his work and was always there to help.  It was no surprise when he earned our Employee of the Year for 2018.  May God bless Chris and his family.

We are heartbroken at FinPac with Chris’s passing.  He was such an important part of our company.  I marvel at how quickly he impacted our company when he started, at such a young age.  He excelled at everything he did with his job and people respected him for that.  He was our employee of the year in 2018.  Beyond his work, he was able to connect with a lot of people on a personal level who called him a friend.  Rest in Peace Chris. 

Chris, I will miss your fun messages and the way you raised the bar in the office with your snappy dress and Tie day! We were never sure what we were going to come in to but it was always fun.  You brought joy and laughter with your silly sense of humor and quick wit and you will be missed dearly. 

I met Chris through work and quickly came to realize how funny and fun he was to be around. His presence and sense of humor will be sorely missed. 

Chris and I have worked for a few years together at FPL and was always a great motivator and mentor to me. Even though we did not work in the same department anymore he would still check in with me to see how I was doing and we would have good conversations catching up with each other. Always made me laugh. He will be greatly missed. RIP

Chris will be so missed as a friend and co worker, we have the same initials,  but not much else in common, although we formed a unique friendship, he was so kind and thoughtful. While recently catching up with him, he was so happy  with life and proud of the work he was doing with FPL.  My condolences to the Family and Friends for a Life that left this Earth Too soon.  Peace is the Place. 

I heard from so many how lucky I was to have Chris on my team at work and they were right. His focus was always on the people and how we could offer the best experience in all interactions. Chris impacted a great many and his absence is immeasurable. Gone too soon! RIP Chris

I worked with Chris for the past several years.  Chris was a wonderful human being.  So smart and good at his job.  He was a joy to know.  You will be missed by all!  

Chris was one of the kindest and most generous people I've  ever known. His intelligence and dedication to anything he put his mind to was astonishing. He loved his career and it showed in every interaction with his coworkers and the pride he took in a job well done. He was a fiercely loyal friend, and those of us that were blessed to have him in our lives will be forever changed , for the better.

Working with Chris was pure Joy! He was so easy going , helpful and a treat to be around! He will be greatly missed .
