So sorry to hear of this sad loss to family and friends. I only recently met Chris but we talked those times about his love of music and one of his favorites being Frank Sinatra! Fly Me To The Moon became a regular on Karaoke night if he was there! My heart goes out to his family!

Chris loved spending time at his grandma Nalley’s when he was young, and swinging in the hammock with his papaw. Chris and I were Facebook friends, and played games regularly on-line. Music comes naturally in our family so Chris was in love with the “good stuff”. Now he can ….”play among the stars”.
My heart hurts….
Christopher was much loved by his Grandma and Papaw Nalley who thought he was the smartest child on earth! I truly know they
would be so happy with welcoming arms in Heaven. Much Love, Aunt Mo
We love you and miss you
Love Mom and Donovan
I enjoyed Chris singing Frank Sanatra kareoke, and could tell he did too! Was glad I got to be around him recently and enjoyed his company! He will be missed…

He will be very much missed. Sweet soul. Sending love to all the family.
Unfortunately, we only got to know Chris for a short time; but we enjoyed getting to know him. He was already smiling and ready to chat. We enjoyed listening to him belt out some Sinatra.
We wish that he had many more moments like this with us.
Our thoughts, prayers, and love for the family and their loss.
May his memory forever be in your hearts!
Love, Zane, Casey and Addison

I only knew Chris for a short time but the time I did have with him I could tell what a sweet and gentle loving person he was. I was blessed to have met him
I only had one conversation with Chris, but it was an experience I will not soon forget. This young man had such depth and insight into the human experience and the world around us. We talked about life, music, religion, and our hopes and dreams. He will be missed by so many. What a tragedy. Condolences to his family; I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Remembering all the fun the boys had through the years. Trips to the beach Chris and his cousins playing with thier dump trucks in the sand and riding thier motorized jeeps at Mamaw and Papaw Weavers. Chris will be missed.
I’ll miss you friend. You have made a mark on my life, as well as many many others.
