Chris was my friend and neighbor since I moved into the house next door in 2007. From the first he was friendly and helpful, always had a smile and a kind word. Every Summer for a time I left my beloved yard and flower gardens in Chris' care, knowing when I returned the flowers would not only be blooming and the grass green, but the garden weeded and perhaps some wood chips put down, too, because Chris was thoughtful and dependable that way. The seasons would pass and Chris and I would see each other outside, as neighbors do, and catch up on events while tending lawns, shoveling snow, raking leaves, always with his beloved sweet little dog nearby. Chris was my favorite neighbor and in time, I considered him a friend - a handsome man with a beautiful smile, loving heart and kind eyes. This past Christmas during the Lansing power outages, we would speak on the phone, updating each other, and I was so pleased to learn he was spending all his time in Okemos with his Fiancee. I'll never forget Chris, and someday, I feel certain, I'll recognize him again in a far better place. But until then, I'll miss you, Chris, and remember you always.

Your sense for humor was a wonderful gift to all of us at ICHC. I will miss your LOLs and other contributions to the Cheezburger Network very much! You made a lot of people from all over the world laugh, and feel good. Thank you for that!!

Chris was a dear friend to many at the I Can Haz Cheezeurger website. He mae us all laugh with his sense of humor and creativity. Many made beautiful tributes for him and for his birthdays. They are all collected in this group profile where we celebrate the life of our passed human friends and animal companions. http://profile.cheezburger.com/DrTinyCatz/collection/3461922/c_a_t-memorials

Chris was brilliant, and a major inspiration to me in my early blogging career. I learned so much from him, and nothing, nothing could have prepared me for his passing. He was a friend, like a brother to me, and I will never forget this giant of the internet's kind words about my silly cat pictures. It seems to me that the universe has become several shades darker without him. Take care, old friend. You are missed.

I'm not very good with words, and me and Chris have never actually formally met. In fact, I've rarely ever talked to him on Cheezburger, so my connections with him are very limited. Although I'm not good with conversations, I am good at observations, and I can definitely see that Christopher was an excellent man. He is always active, always amazing, but most importantly, he was very caring. And I can see that he obviously shows affection to his family and friends. I see that he was a very great man, and I wish I could have seen him more often than I did. I wish his family to continue to be caring to each other, just as he would have liked it.

I only knew Chris as the awesome _C_A_T_ on icanhazcheesburger, and it was by pure chance (?) that I logged in to that site just now after months of absence. So sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age, omg he was 15 years younger than I am right now, what can one say. Bright blessings and condolences to all his friends and family.

Heartfelt condolences to you.

"Mr. _C_" was such a friend on Cheezburger for so long...one of the first people who welcomed me there and always a source of joy and friendship. I will be sitting in meditation for him all during the day and sending him gratitude, and sorrow and sympathy to his loved ones. Oh...this made me cry the minute I saw it. Mr. _C_ never failed to send kind words to my cat Wiggle... What a wonderful, wonderful man.
