Chris was such an amazing guy, not many possess the combination of spirit, bravery, intelligence and kindness he shared with the world. A true character, Chris was one of my favorite people growing up, whether it be through trash talking banter, practical jokes played on each other or finding trouble on the "Northside", Chris was a great friend to have. I first got to know Chris when I was in Grade 9 through Rugby, he was a year a head of me, but took me under his wing as a teammate and friend. We ended up travelling to Argentina together on a Rugby tour which was an amazing experience. Through our friendship Chris was always a "shirt of his back" friend, he was reliable, supportive and always had high energy enthusiasm for whatever we were doing. Some of my best high school memories were spent cruising in his famous brown mini van, burning CDs in his basement, figuring out how to buy beers without ID, finding parties around town, playing sports and just chilling out. Chris was a phenomenal athlete in both Rugby and Football, tenacious as hell and never one to back down from a challenge. I also had the opportunity to work with Chris, where he was a compassionate and driven person in the support world. Chris was such a good guy, he gave the best of himself to everyone, I'm deeply saddened by his passing, my thoughts are with Christine and family.
