I will never forget working with Chris at Lowe's in Tifton. He was an amazing friend. He will be truly missed. Prayers for all his family and friends. Mrs. D. Williams
Our funny and humble Chris. From elementary school to high school we shared a lot of time together. Throughout our years in school Chris was always nice and sweet and he always made people laughed. He loved his family! He often told us funny stories over the years in class to keep us entertained. There was NEVER a dull moment around Chris. He loved music and instruments. It hurts to know that you won't be at the future class gatherings in physical but your spirit will be here. Thank you for lightening up every room you walked in. We will cherish the beautiful memories that we shared together. We will miss you our classmate and friend.
Your classmates Class of 2008

My beloved cousin... All I can think of are all the good times!!!! How we used to get dropped off at aunt Lena's and we was almost always sure to get a whopping because we was always bound to get into something or from you talking too much. Or how we would be at grandma's house and everyone would be there all the family sitting round talking and laughing then sad when we heard my crew let's go. Then I think about as we got older our families love bound us together so much we would just come to each others houses and lay around, eat, laugh and have a good time. I'm going to miss calling and your first words would be What's up cuz... and how them twins and that new big ole boy doing? I know heaven has the baddest band in the land now with you on guitar! I know, you know I love you because we didn't ever end a conversation without saying it . But I can't end this without saying it to you again...I love you cuz!!! The family loves you cuz....May you rest well!!! Love Samantha and family!!!!
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
