Ryan Justice wrote a sympathy message

“Hey Chris, I'm sorry this is how we meet again after high school. I'm just now learning you've moved on beyond this world and it's hard to process it. I remember so many moments of high school we shared together. I remember when we met up every morning in the library, hung out in the evenings online to do homework or just play Agar.io, and when we co-wrote each others college essays haha. Thank you for being part of my life and everyone else's. I wish you peace wherever you are now man.”

Karla Hinojosa Lerma wrote a sympathy message

“It’s so nice to see people sharing about you Chris. I know we weren’t close growing up but I still saw you as someone I admired for his hard work & drive to accomplish a lot, which you did in your short life . My last favorite memories of us were when you asked me if you could rub my pregnant belly, I thought it was so cute. Also when we were at the mall food court & you were holding my baby. You didn’t really know what to do w him & it was so funny. We already miss you terribly. Rest in peace.”

Chistopher will be grwatly missed,. I am sending my condolences to his family and his closest friends.”

“Chris and I had classes together in high school. We would always tease each other and shared many laughs together. I remember he got me a birthday card for my birthday our junior year. He was always thoughtful and caring. By far the most intelligent person I’ve ever met! I will miss him dearly and I’m sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in paradise. He’s forever our Angel watching us from the Heavens.”
