To the family and friends; I am so very sorry to hear about Chris. He was a great guy with a beautiful smile that could melt your heart. I met Chris and Mike about 20 years ago and liked them both immediately. Everyone that knew Chris, loved him, he was such a talented and smart guy. He will be missed by all that knew him. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and may God bless you and keep you strong during this very sad and difficult time... With love and prayers, Janie Richards

Today is a very sad day and a lose to all of us that truely knew Chris. He touched our lives on various levels. The Eledges helped raise me and my brother. With the same token...my parent's did the same thing. We grew up in a community where all kids were the concern of the whole neighborhood. Chris had the kindest of hearts up until the day he left us. Eventhough, I live far away; any time, I called home
