This month will be 5 years since I meet you. You have been an awesome father in Law and Pawpa to my son Corbin. He said you are his pawpa and best friend. Rest In Peace
I’m going to miss our chats and laughs while getting my hair done. Ashley, Chris and family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Chris, Scoop was a wonderful man. I had the pleasure of calling him friend. I thank God he put us in a path to meet. I pray for comfort and healing for the family as I know Scoop is in Heaven right now with his Lord and Savior.
He always thought a lot of you.
Chris, you will be missed, your family are in our prayers
It’s been too long my friend and now we will have to meet again on the streets of gold beside our savior ride with the great spirit or he is with you now
We knew him as “Scoop” before we got to know him as Chris. Our sincere condolences to his family & friends. He was loved & will truly be missed.
Thank you both for everything! You guys have been amazing and I’m sure he’s smiling down!

Brother, we rode many miles together. I’m sorry things worked out the way they did, but I loved you like blood
Praying for Chris’s family. It was always fun being able to have razorback talks with Chris when I came outside. Going to miss seeing him work on his bike and being a good neighbor. Rest in Love
Chris, it’s Hard to believe you’re gone and you will be greatly missed, brother! It was a pleasure working with you many years ago and keeping in touch from time to time! Until we meet again, RIP, friend!
