Chris was a light shining in the darkness, and a friend to those in need. He was mischief and laughter. His smile lit up a room and his eyes twinkled. His presence will be missed so much. Prayers for all those who were touched by him and loved him. May God comfort and heal our broken hearts.
Love, Suzie Vaughn, Matt and Kara Davidson
Diana and Bruce, we are so sorry for the loss of your dear son. We enjoyed knowing Chris as a kind and helpful young neighbor and a joy to know. We were so proud of Chris when we attended his Eagle Scout ceremony. May God bless and comfort you during this most difficult time. Sincerely, Nora and Bob Stanley
My condolences to the Grindstaff family. So sorry for your great loss, at such an early age. May it help you to know that soon Jesus with God's help will resurrected all those in the memorial tombs soon, (John 5:28-29), so please find comfort in knowing that you may see Chris again, doing what he loved and you enjoying him again.
