That night,morning and next day continues to play over and over again with trying to figure out why God would take such a gentle giant so soon from us. My friend you were going to be the standard in the department for years to come but a coward took you from us. Its been almost 9 years since we graduated the academy and began our journey at the Sheriffs Office and I hope I am making you proud with how I serve the community and honoring your memory. Till we meet again.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Christopher, I have never met you in person, but have heard all about you and your life from your Grandmother Phyllis. She and my Mom and Dad were very good friends for over 50 years, until my Mom passed away in 2011. My family and yours are intermingled through a Love that goes back generations. I'm proud to have known about you. My heart aches for all of your family, and fellow Officers.
