Chris, you will be dearly missed. Many great memories with you and the gang back in the day. Whether it was your various bands, or the Naturals in high school, your voice and music will live on in everyone’s memory. I will always cherish the memories snd conversations we had about music, girls, and life. Love you brother. Rock on in heaven. ❤️

So sorry for your loss. Chris always helped me with getting tickets at the Besse Center for concerts, etc. He was so nice and helpful.

Goodbye Chris, you were more than a brother you were a friend. It was an honor to know you. I hope I see your smile in the afterlife! Love you man. Your sister Kat.

Chris was brought into my life by my father when I was a child. He always radiated love and laughter in our home and was loved by all of us dearly. As I grew over the years, he stuck with me and frequently offered words of encouragement, advise and always gave the best hugs and made sure I was doing ok. While I am sad he is gone, we all know Rock ‘n Roll never dies, and for that reason he will live forever give my dad one of those amazing hugs and save me a spot up there, cause I’ll be seeing you again someday, Chris ❤️

Chris was such a great guy, I had the pleasure of working with him at Bay and thought highly of him.
He was someone I always looked forward to seeing for a quick hello or a nice chat.
He will hold a spot in my heart and will be missed. My condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends. God bless you all.

My sincere condolences for your loss. Chris was a special soul in so many ways. He brought smiles, humor, love and wisdom to so many. I was fortunate enough to be one of those people who’s life was touched by his goodness. He will always hold a special place in my heart. May God guide and watch over you as you endure this difficult time.

I’m sure Don welcomed you and then asked can you play some Uriah Heap! much love to All the family and your many friends

I’m so sad to hear about the loss of Chris. I knew him from my time at Bay where I got to know him, talk Packers football and old rock and roll (and his time in his band doing gigs). My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and colleagues. I’ll miss talking about music with you or how the Packers will do . Rock heavy with Elvis, Jimmy Hendrix and all the other rockers who’ve passed to the other side my friend. And tell Vince Lombardi and the other Packers greats I said hello.

We’ll all miss your kindness.

Being married at the time to his sister Shelly when Christian was a young teenager I met a most polite and talented young “music man” in the making as he thrived in that art everyway and everyday. He provided his greatest of talent and personal time with all those who knew and loved him. Rest in Gods holy peace.

Jack and family, I got to know Christian when he did visits with his father, continued to have contact throughout the rest of his life. In the moments that I had any interaction with Christian, he was always very pleasant. Thanking me for giving snowy to his father. I’m so very sorry for the loss of Christian.

So young, I’m sorry , I remember him from year’s ago, when his parents owned the Thompson Out Post!! Our Thoughts & Prayers are with You and all His Family God Bless ❤️

What a loss. Chris was a coworker and friend. Shared years working close by him at Bay. He was always smiling, had a hug for everyone. I would say, Chris play some Journey and he would, always made me smile. When dark days came in my life he always would check in, to see how things were going and had kind words. His smile, heartfelt hugs, kind words of support will not be forgotten. Joey I hope you and your grandfather will find peace and comfort in your memories of your dad and son until you see him again. ❤️

So long old friend, student and fellow musician. I’m thankful for all the good times over the years. Chris lived life to the fullest. We will all miss him. My condolences to the family and friends.

to Chris’s family, He was a great guy and will be missed. i knew him when he was in The Naturals singing group with my son in Manistique and many of his bands. He was a great musician and friend. My condolences.

This is heartbreaking news. Chris was such a blessing to everyone. He was genuine, kind, and selfless. He always went out of his way to make others feel appreciated and loved. His positive energy was contagious and he always gave the best hugs. It’s actually difficult to put into words what an amazing person he was. He will be missed by all who knew him, but take comfort in knowing his beautiful light is already shining down on his family and friends from a much better place.

Jack, so sorry to hear about Christian, and also Candy before him.

I knew them both in the Thompson store days, next to Hiawatha Realty.

Such sorrow – I feel for you mightily

My thoughts and prayers to all of Chris’s family. So sad to lose such a great person and friend. I am glad I had the opportunity to know him through work at Bay. Will miss you! Be Heaven’s Music Man Love you Chris!

Rest easy Chris, you were a ray of sunshine everywhere you went!! I met you at the Sand Bar years ago!! Your spirit and kindness will live on thru all the lives you touched!

Chris, I feel honored that I got to know you and work with you in the studio for the recording of NoyZ’s album. I will miss you and your exceptional talent, it’s time for you to rest now for your work on earth is done my friend. Condolences to all the friends and family.

Chris was the BEST person. I met him while working at Bay College and he became a close friend. He brightened every room he walked into. At that time, we lived close to each other, and he helped me through many tough times as a single mom. He was so talented, and he also had an enormous heart for love, generosity, and playfulness. I love him and will miss the light he brought to my life.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Slence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead,
Put up crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policeman wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
-W.H. Auden-

Chris, my brother man! So sad to see you go. Your light was incredibly bright! I will miss you. But, I’m sure Heaven has a great band now with you ROCKIN for eternity! You have always been a steadfast friend and coworker. You helped me move 14 years ago, even though you barely knew me, gave my son rides to Tae Kwon Do, took my other kid to church when he needed community! Life did you wrong these last couple of years and it was hard seeing you go through all of that. I consider
myself lucky to have known you. Love U Bro!
\m/\m/ Keep on Rockin!!!!

A toast to Christian…

So many great memories dancing to “Driver”….:-)…..so many great friends….so many great songs!

May you “keep rockin in the free world” my friend! 🙂

Aloha little brother. Your thoughtfulness, caring, love of music and talent have left a big hole in the universe! Love and miss you brother! ❤️

To the family of Chris… So very sorry for the loss of such a good person. It has been a devastating week as I think of Chris and remember how genuine and caring he always was, whether it was at Bay or seeing him at his church. I will always remember the heartfelt, huge hug he gave me at work after my son died unexpectedly less than three years ago. Thankfully, I recently saw him at Wellspring and was able to briefly visit with him. He was so talented in many ways, not only with his music. I will always remember him with much fondness, as well as gratitude for the privilege of knowing him.
