Rest easy Chris... you will be missed more than words can explain. You were so sweet, you had a heart of gold. I remember all the good times we shared. You had an amazing smile and personality that will never be forgotten. You were taken to soon. I will see you again on the other side! Love ya 

Chris was my cousin. One hell of a cousin in deed. I remember as kids we had so much fun and time together hang out sleep overs and all that. We also had some hard times to but I will never forget what a wonderful joyful person Chris was. He always put a smile on my face and if I was down he new how to cheer me up.  The last time I talked to Chris was last year. He saw that I got married and I’m doing wonderful things. He was proud  and we talked and talked for at least two hours about god knows what but I will tell you I will never forget his voice his smile or his jokes. Love you cousin intel we meet again.

Where do I begin love? Getting pulled over for throwing ripped up paper out of the window? Making some food in a trash bag in the oven?.. you singing to me on the phone till we both fell asleep? Or talking about God all hours of the night? I met you in 2007 and my life changed forever. Though distance made it hard to physically see each other, we stayed connected the best we knew how (by phone). Rest easy my friend. I’m really going to miss those late night phone calls. Our song will never be the same without you singing it to me. Xoxo I love you Chris (forever and for always as you would add). 

In thinking about memories and reading others shared the common ones come to mind. You smile, your wanting to make people happy by your actions, cooking,  conversation and joking around. Plus your work ethic and manners for me always come to the front of my minds eye and your smile. Like I told you in  your last text Ryleigh’s great! Thank you for keeping your word and keeping in touch to let her know you were thinking of her.  I’ll miss the call, Ms. Karen, it’s Chris... and the updates on your journeys, you will be missed. Rest high on that mountain, your work here is done.   

Good ole Bumper head. We had many many memories. You would grab me by my big toe and torture me! We laughed together, cried together, would listen to hours of countless music together. We didn’t always see eye to eye but what are siblings for? Love you Bro and I know I’ll see you again in heaven!  🎶 This world is not my home I’m just passing through 🎶 

Chris ,
I miss you and love you so much. You were the most lovable, huggable, sweetest, caring nephew I've ever had. My heart bleeds knowing that I will never see you in this world again, but the greatest blessing ever is knowing that you are now wrapped in the arms of God. We will cherish all the wonderful memories we had with you and especially all the moments you made us laugh. R. I. P nephew until we are all together again.
                                                                                          Love Aunt Sophie

Chris lived with us for a bit in Portland, Oregon. He had one of the best smiles I've ever seen. He was good at spreading smiles as well. He had such an amazing, playful, and goofy spirit that just made you want to be near him. It was always good to come home and see his smile. He is missed.

Chris I love you, look at all these people who miss you bro, Growing up you were always one of my favorite cousins, loved spending the time with you, spending the night at your house I always looked forward to hanging with you. Fishing and building log forts down at swan Island, my heart hurts so bad I know your happy up there, you and God are homeboys. I am at a loss of what to think. I love you so much.

 Hugs an kisses my sweet angel....

Chris was my cousin, when we were kids all of us Phillips kids spent so much time together. My favorite memories are the weekend sleepovers with tons of hide and seek and tag. Chris always had a smile that could light up a room. He will be missed dearly. Love you cuz.

Chris used to come in and sing Karaoke with me years ago. Great voice, always had a smile on his face. Rest in peace Chris

Chris was 12 when I first came into his life (christmas time 1995), He had the biggest smile. He always wanted to make sure everyone was happy & loved helping out when ever he could. He loved his Mamma & Dad equally with all his heart as did he love all his Brothers and Sisters, blood or not. 
He loved his daughter Ryleigh Jo & she was the apple of his eye & he loved to talk about her, also show off pictures of her. Of course she got his beautiful smile. He had a kind heart. 
There were 2 recipes every year he would ask me for. I guess they were a hit. 
Chris we will smile, laugh, hug again in Heaven.❤
I pray our Lord wraps all your Family and Friends and comfort all of us at this sad time. 🙏

One of my favorite memories with my big brother Chris was going on hikes with him and the rest of our family at Falls Creek Falls in Tennessee.  We always went on some kind of adventures or just sat and talked for hours. The last memory I have with him  was video chatting with him on facebook for hours talking about anything and everything. I regret living so far away and not being able to see him in person but I will cherish the talks we had and the memories we shared. You will and are very love and miss by so many people. I love you so much Chris. Dosvadanya(Until we meet again) Big Brother!

With much love, 
Your Little Sister Sarah.♡

Christopher was my grandson. I always loved him.
He will always be in my heart. He went too early.
I look forward to being with him someday in Heaven.

All my love
Grandma Marsh

Chris was a joy to his family. His laugh touched our heart. As a nephew he was well loved. My favorite memory of Chris was when we took him to the store to buy him a new coat when he was young. His smile was so big and bight, he lit up the store. His hugs were the best! Even as an adult he remembered the time with GREAT joy. I will always remember our last talk. I am a better auntie because of Chris. What a great man he came to be. 
We will miss Christopher and look forward to seeing him in Heaven.  Flowers I grew. If closer I would bring them to him.

WE LOVE YOU CHRISTOPHER
Always in our hearts
UNCLE MARK AND AUNT GLENDA

May God comfort you my prayers are with you be at peace Chris in a better place

Loving brother uncle and father. He always made you laugh. May you rest in peace. Love you big/little brother
