We miss him with all of our hearts.

Cousin Chris,
It’s so hard to believe your passing. I know that heaven gained a incredible person though! The world has suffered a great loss, but you are in a much better place. I will truly miss our laughs, conversations, volleyball games and tossing the football. Even though we were cousins, I always thought of you as a younger brother. I was devastated and felt torn inside when informed of your passing. I would give anything just to see you one more time! I do know that one day, we will see each other again. Christmas will never be the same without you, but it will now be celebrated in your honor. Take care for now, until we meet again. God Bless you and love you cuz!

Quac,
We met when we were in sixth grade and I have been pretty much hanging out with you and the Goon Squad ever since. I am so grateful for all the memories we have shared and I am going to miss you more than I can even imagine. Your smile, jokes and hugs were the best. You made everyone around you feel special and so loved. Baby Critzos will hear stories about his Uncle Quac and know how important he was. John, Pesto and I will miss you so much and we will always love you.
To the Adams Family,
We are thinking about you all. Quac was an amazing person and will be forever missed. To Sue and Mark, thank you for raising such a loving and caring person who I was lucky enough to call one of my best friends.

Chris; We will miss you so much!!! We are Proud of the kid you were and the man you became. You made Christmas Special with your funny man antics, dressing as an elf, or a little bit of Santa with your lighted hat, and endless smiles. Your smiles are who you were, on any day, or any where you happen to be. You were a big brother to our granddaughters Kaylie and Cara; always loving them and looking after them; since they were babies. Although their hearts and ours are deeply saddened; we know you are in Heaven, with God; and we must now go forward, until we are all united again, with you. Our Lesson from you; is to give more Smiles, Hugs, and Love; going forward. We will always miss you, never forget you, and always cherish the memories of you, in our Hearts Forever!!! Love You!!! Aunt Deb, Uncle Ken, & Cousin David

We are so grateful for all the hearts of friends and families you have touched. They have given us so much support and
love through our loss of you. You lived life to the fullest, my son. Daddy and I are so proud of the man you became.
I will miss the netflix binge watching and movie nights I was able to share with you when you were not out doing fantasy football or watching sports with Matt. Your words “yes birthgiver?” and “love you more” will remain in my mind forever!!
Chris you have no worries now and are safe in God’s arms. I will do my best to keep daddy out of the grocery stores, and remind Matt to say goodbye when he leaves. You will always be in our thoughts!
Love you forever,
Mom
