Marieken Shaner wrote a sympathy message

“I met Chris years ago when he was new to college and in my class. I quickly learned that he was a genuine and special young man. I enjoyed discussions with him about service, giving back, and having an impact, all qualities that embody Chris. I was so thrilled to see him become a paramedic...it meant so much to him. I cannot imagine the devastation the family must be experiencing at this horrible loss and this waste of such a precious life. Please accept my condolences for your loss.”
