We will miss you, Chris!

Our good friend Chris passed away this morning after a long battle with brain cancer. He leaves his amazing wife Jen and their new baby, Sadie behind. We will dearly miss Chris. He was always so positive. He always had a smile, even on those tough days, which he never admitted to having. He and Linden always enjoyed playing basketball or watching sports together. We were always able to call up Chris and Jen to go and do something together, even if that something was just sitting around doing nothing. We shared many wonderful laughs together. So many great memories. Thank you!!

Chris and Jen are the kind of people that inspire everyone to be better people and live better lives. I know that I am a better person for having known Chris. His love of our Heavenly Father was so strong. He was always sharing his testimony with others and serving. Life was never about what he didn't have, but what he did have and what he could share with others. He served valiantly here on earth. Now that he has moved on I am sure that he is running around shouting the joy of the gospel plan to those on the other side with him. He is probably glad that he can walk and talk again. And, those of us left behind are grateful for our knowledge of the Great Plan of Salvation.

Jen, our thoughts and prayers are with you and Sadie and yours and Chris's families. So very many people will miss Chris. So very many people are praying for you now. We love you.
