We still miss you the same...  Forever in mine and Nate's heart ❤ 

Thinking about you... Happy Thanksgiving Chris! Isaac made a Turkey  and the first thing he was thankful for was you! :) I wish you were here drinking Heineken and having a good time with the people you loved. You will never be forgotten. Btw your son has two missing top teeth lol still waiting for them to come in. Haha can't believe it's going on three yrs you being gone here. Time tends to carry itself. My heart still hurts but I know you're not suffering at all in any way. I'm here watching the sky thinking of you. Thank you over and over for our son. He's you all over! Its amazing ! I wish you were here :) I'll be taking a shot for you! I wish you'd come back but we all know That's impossible. Heyy!! We know you'd be saying "hey it's all in the fun" "what's the hype about" haha happy Turkey day !

I remember I'd call you ,you'd say "hello", I'd say "hey", then you'd say "Yo"!lol I've been so busy lately ,where to start!  Well your son has lost Two teeth already!  He looks so funny yet cute of course! he's on a new medication he's gained 2lbs yay! :) he's doing well in school. Ready for first grade. That boy is on point. Haha yesterday we were at my friends place and Nathan was standing with his legs apart and hands in pocket. Lol she asked if you did the same. I told her exactly the same!  He does an awesome job in reading. You'd be so proud! Sometimes he'll make a remark along with a question like "like my dad, right mom"? And I'm like yes Isaac just like your dad lol he's amazing Chris your son is amazing and witty. :) he loves you and misses you !

It's been awhile since I've posted on here. Man Chris why cant you just come back? ! Everything would be better and easier.  :( sad face I remember this day Feb 14 exactly 2009! I got upset with you for , well you know what .Damn MySpace we always had problems with it. Isaac being in my whomb and me feeLing some type of way. I didn't mean to flick you off now that i mention it. Lol you got your kick outta it i suspect tho!  I will never forget that Valentine's day.  Well here i am at home Doris has our son :) and I'm remembering you. I would relive any days with you in the past! Because that'll be time i had with you! I remember our phone calls , maybe not all but i remember some. Don't worry everyone here is doing well. I'm trying to get back on track of things. You were always on time because you didn't stress about tomorrow or the next. I'm working on that. To let tomorrow worry for itself. !

Still love you and miss you brother.. Til we kick it again, Doc. Rest In Peace.

May God keep you close and hope to give you a big hugh when we see each other again your mom has done a great job keeping your memory A Live

Never thought that the night before you left us your hug would be the last. I miss your koolaid smile the most. Nathan, I watched you play and grow when you'd come to Davisito's house. There's so many things to tell you about your dad but the most important is that your dad loved you. He showed it in the way he cared for you, looked after you, and played with you. He was such a fun person to be around. Always kept us and you laughing. Everything he did he said he did for you, and only you. Believe it baby boy and never forget it.

oh big bro I was checking on all the comments of everyone that has signed this, and started to remember all the love and care you showed to me on the way you used to talk to me, it has been hard for me to get on my mind you are not here anymore, I believe this is a bad dream I am having but it is simply the truth, I love you and will always do, and because of the way I love you and Raul, my purpose  will be to look for nathan and mia,  LOVE YA BIG BRO, one day we will be together again

Chris - Thought of your Christmas "fun time" song, again, this year and will each Christmas Eve party forever... you had us laughing so hard that year...I'll never forget that Hart Christmas party...ever!
I so enjoy watching Nathan grow up on FB!! He's so handsome....awesome lil man!
Mother/Nonnie still speaks of you and how much she liked you and your big smile. 
Youl'll always be in the Hart's hearts...miss you.

Chris... Even though you are resting in paradise you are an angel that is missed here in earth by family and friends. But as we know you are an angel from above that is watching over your loved ones. You are in a better place enjoying eternal life. One day we will see each other again....

CHRISSY!! Cant believe its been 2 years. Miss you everyday brother! Anytime We hear your song we laugh and reminisce the times we shared. I know you're protecting all of us from the heavens above. I know its all you that brings that smile upon our faces when we tear and miss your presence. To my brother from another mother love and miss you dearly! Til the day we shall meet again. Rest in paradise always ??

Happy new years bro. I miss talking to you as we were in touch all the time and just to let u know u now have a beautiful niece and sis i  law! Love u bro. U r always in our heart and mind. Dad loves u. See u when i see u doggy.

By the grace of God it's already been two years since your passing, son, and though you're missed always, it's by His mercy that I've gracefuly accepted your physical absence.  Until we meet again at His glorious coming, may you continue to sleep in peaceful rest on your second anniversary.

Merry Christmas Chris!  :,) from Carlos, me, the kids, and Nathan.  Nate loved his gifts we got him for Christmas. I mean Santa lol Today is actually a beautiful day would've been better if we had snow though. Ha well i was just taking a moment to write you , say we miss u all that stuff.  We love u! We miss u dearly! Always and forever in our hearts!

Hey Chris  I know your in a better place  looking down on all of us we love an miss you alot I wish you were still here with so that we can all just live our lives I just wanted to let you know that we will never forget you an you will always  be in are heart an always  be woth us I hope that one day we will meet again rest in peace

Thinking about you tonight . Many things have happened since the last time I wrote. Good things tho :) need to visit the cemetary  soon. Isaac is ready for Christmas  of course and the others as well!  We would rather have you here back with us but I know u are needed over there. I miss u ! LOTS! :) hey I know u know I have my days but the road is unpredictable. I still manage to get thru  with God on my side. Btw Nate Dog is doing well and more well in school. I know you are  one proud daddy. He loves u so much Chris he talks about u often!  He asked when u were coming back i just tell him one day he'd  see you again.. we love you !

To think this time two years ago I bought a xmas tree was excited Christmas being around the corner.  Then to find out the next day you were gone.  :'( things have never been the same. Birthdays, holidays, and especially Christmas! But in this life we have managed to move forward and keep u closely in our hearts. Isaac doesn't understand today. And maybe that's a good thing. I want him to remember good things not your death but the life you were given.  This xmas will be a little different. Because although it hurts deeply u being gone I will stay smiling for our son. And instead of being sad remind myself you take joy in our smiles! I miss u!

Sometimes it's hard giving Isaac haircuts he seems to never want one.  Lol well today he received one and wanted it just like his big bro.  Min he came out he looked just like you!  I couldn't see it before with his hair but now with the haircut he has his profile is exactly the same as yours!  Now I really give you the credit lol he looks like his daddy :) I have parent/teacher conference this Wednesday coming up I know I'll get nothing but good feed.  He always does his homework and gets lots of stickers!  Really wish you were here to witness these things.  You'd be so proud of your boy.  He's such a big boy now.  Man Chris how time flies.  It's almost two yrs you've been gone.  Sometimes I wish you were here with us and sometimes I remind myself you don't have to suffer here in this world. There are times I look at Isaac and I smile because he reminds me of you. I am so blessed to have him.  I could have never said thank you enough for being a great father to him. I tell him often he looks like his daddy. :) IT'S the truth!  We miss you! :') I'm getting better at this you know, my tears have become smiles, the pain isn't so painful.I'm finally learning to accept that you really are gone and in a better place. It's true time heals all!

Chris, I just stumbled on your facebook page and was about to give you alot of hell for not responding to calls and text and thinking you just had a new number. this whole time We didnt know. I pray your family cherishes the memories you left and you will always be remembered by everyone you touched. Indeed you were a great person. Adieu Brother

Nathan graduated Pre-k :) he's been doing very well lately. Everyone mentions how cute and smart he is. I'm proud to say I'm doing a great job in raising Him.  I know you'd be too. I'm trying my best and I thank God for helping me along the way. Earlier i couldn't help but cry because i miss you and the fact you're not here with us. Nathan brought you up couple days ago asking if you were ever coming back.  I had to explain that you weren't and he continued to ask more questions..I just ended the convo with that YOU WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM!  I hope these conversations get easier for me in the future. I see myself getting stronger and thinking about what you wOuld've wanted for  him as well  when it comes to certain things.  Isaac loves you so much! He still hasn't forgotten about you.  :)

I'm having one of them days! All these songs keep playing on the radio that bring back them days. I miss you so much! I can just see you telling me it's going to be ok.. I know it is

missing you... Isaac brought you up yesterday outta no where. I was speechless to say anything back. He said my daddy loves me, he at the Jesus. He said it proudly no sad face =') he will never forget you!

Saw Jay-Z last night and I couldn't stop thinking about our first Jay-Z concert together.  Our Jay-Z page in the scrapbook :) I was with mom & I told her I wish you were there, she replied 'he is'.  She was so right.  He left the stage & I knew there was no way he didn't play our favorite 'Forever Young'..  He came back for encore and just as I was walking to the door I hear the beat....  I ran back & sang every word for you with happy tears running down my face.  I love you Chris, the memories you left us with live on forever!!  Every damn day! :P

Today marks a yr you being gone. =( we miss you so much! As time passes by it gets easier but the pain remains the same. You will never be forgotten.

I knew this day would come and the moment i had to face the fact you wouldn't be here on earth to celebrate it. I get better as time goes by in not being sad but smile at the good memories you brought. I remember 2008 like it was yesterday. I wish I could go back for a day just to see you again. Now I'm left with memories. I'm grateful that you were in my life and that I was blessed with Nathan. He brings you up a lot lately. =') he's so proud that you were his daddy. In his heart you will be that happiness that he remembers. I miss you so much we all do. One day I hope to see you again up there. May you be celebrating your birthday with the angels laughing and smiling. We love you Chris !

Trying to hold back tears. I had a dream last night of you. I cried that you were gone and kept saying that how Isaac wouldn't have his daddy anymore. Woke up sad. I get my moments where I'm ok and others where I feel like back at the first few months. Still not in acceptance, heard others cope differently with a loss and the time of healing can last for awhile. We all are made different. We all miss you greatly Chris my heart still feels empty and painful when I think of you.thinking of the good times and laughs bring comfort sometimes, helps make me a little stronger. Isaac is just like you =') he's a blessing to us all. Although I wish you were still here I know you're in a better place and an angel watching from above. Thank you for being apart of my life and your son's life. You were really a great father I will never forget all you've done for me and Nathan.

One thing about a memory it can never be forgotten. Many of us will have memories of you and with you that we will carry on. Today its rainy and the sun isnt going to shine kind of how my heart feels. I have my strong days and this just happens to not be one. I look at Isaac and so much he looks more and more like you. He always mentions his daddy and every chance i get i remind him how much u love him. :,) we miss u soooo much! But I know you're not suffering anymore and when i get down I remind myself you're resting and watching our son everyday. Im very thankful you were in my life. YOU WERE A WONDERFUL FATHER AND PERSON! Thank you again and again for our son for EVERYTHING. WE miss u and love you!! See u in heaven :,)

Gosh Chris, I cant believe you're gone. you and calvin grew up together.  you were the cutest little thing and you grew up to be a handsome young man.  when calvin called me all i could think of was when you would walk across the street (we lived across the street from each other) ring my doorbell and say stephanie can calvin come out. Was so glad to hear you were doing something positive with your life, you two were something else as kids. lol  Rip 

Stephanie, Calvin & Stephanie's Mom

It helps me feel better looking at our son and seeing how much he is u, happy and kind hearted with a silly spirit. :,) You've done an amazing job here on earth. I will forever love u for giving me a child,for being an amazing person in my life, and helping with all u did! Thank u Chris for all your encouraging words! You will never be forgotten  ..

Mi mas sentido pesar para la familia Garcia, sin duda es un dolor enorme el que queda en el corazon al perdere a un ser tan querido y es triste pensar que es Dios quien nos quita la vida.La Biblia ensena que el Dios verdadero es un Dios de Amor(1Juan4:8).El no causa la maldad ni el sufrimiento, al contrario desea que seamos felices y vivamos para siempre. Y nos da la esperanza de ver otra ves a nuestros seres queridos,"Todos los que estan en las tumbas conmemorativas oiran su voz y saldran"(Juan5:28,29).Que el Dios verdadero Jehova les de las fuerzas para seguir adelante hasta que se cumpla su promesa y nuca mas habra dolor ni clamor la muerte ya no existira. Sinceramente: Fanny B.

Laura mi mas sentido pesame
De corazon Dios nos da la vida y el no las quita cuando el decida Animo que el ya esta con Jesus disfrutando de sus delicias como es el Paraiso te envio un fuerte abraso y a toda tu familia te quiero mucho y ya sabes que cuentas conmigo en lo que nececites Dios te bendiga Siempre !!!

We will cherish the love and memories we shared with you forever..

The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.  God has a meaning and a purpose for everything, although we may not know his plan, he has one.  My thouhts and prayers are with Laura and family during this tough time. We will continue to pray for you all everyday.  I pray that through God you all will gain strength and comfort to be strong for his little boy.

I only knew and worked with Chris a couple of years at Vam USA, but within that short time I saw that never quit attitude of his.  He was always very respectful to me. He would always say "We need to go have a few beers together some day" I ask him why and his reply was "I want to pick your brain." I regret not taking him up on his offer. He was always eager to learn and never would pass up a challenge to learn something new. I am still trying to wrap my brain around the thought that he's never going to come bebopin in to the Vam plant with that smile on his face. I am going to miss you my friend may you rest in peace. May God bless the Family through this time of sorrow, know that he is up there smiling down on all of us. Robert Dixon VAM USA

Laura am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Chris was like a son to me and I am grateful to have had him in our lives. He was a caring and giving person and he will be greatly missed. Our memories will last forever. Rest in peace, Chris. We love you!

I'm sorry for your loss, "Please accept my sympathy."  My heart goes out to you during this difficult time.

Only knew you for a few years, but it was enough to know that your heart was in the right place, God bless you and your family, rest in peace Chris, enjoyed having you around our family get togethers and you will be missed.

My dear Chris, the many moments we had together along with my dad and mom, as we enjoyed spending many birthdays by your side and burning fireworks on 4th of July, we will truly miss you. We loved you so much. 

As for the dear family we just would like to say how sorry we are for the loss of Chris, we loved him so much. May the Lord give you the strength and comfort as He also knows what it means to loose a child, for He gave his only begotten son Jesus for us, He died on the cross for us and through him is our salvation. He will be the rock and our fortress, and when we are weak He will make us strong. through God you will stand firm on solid ground.

     Love Ashley and Emma Quinonez

Chris u were a great father and friend to Roland and Sammy. You will be greatly  missed by everyone who knew you.

You made me laugh all the times you would talk to me at work & call me mam ~ i would tell you I'm not that old & without skipping a beat you said, It's Out Of Respect ~ Thank You Chris....

There is nothing on this Earth more Beautiful than being in Heaven.

For the father of my Son no words can describe the sadness we feel that you left this life so soon. You've accomplished so much in the time u were with us. What a wonderful person and father. You will be missed forever. Im going to raise our son to be the man you would've wanted him to be like you. Nathan loves u dearly and u will remain in his heart forever. We miss u and we love you. Laura Macias you have raised a wonderful person that has touched many hearts and changed our lives for the better. The plan the Lord had for Chris was fulfilled. I pray for peace and comfort in this time of sorrow and may our angel Christopher Garcia watch over us as he is with the Lord.

I knew you just a short while but that while was evident that you enjoyed and cherish life. Play that guitar for the angels my friend. My prayers are with you and your family as they go through this difficult time. VAM USA

I miss you terribly, son, but I find comfort in my Savior who only allowed your death for a higher purpose. I didn't get the oppotunity to share this message. Rest assured.  Your son will also serve a merciful God of purpose.

1 Timothy 1:12
