Help Us Remember Chris with a Memorial

Me and my cousin were more like brothers. Since I was young anytime my cooler older cousin wanted to spend time with me i went running. As we got older we spent much more time together. We worked together for a little while. Spending time at concerts and in Manhattan. Boating, partying and just enjoying each other's company. He was the best man at my wedding. I have two children under 3 he never goto meet. I know he would of loved them. He called me the night before he was tragically and horrifically taken from us. On that phone call we talked about his future plans and him coming to meet my children. We were both excited about that.

Christopher touched so many with his kindness, love, and spirit. He will be missed. As we navigate this time of loss, we want to come together to celebrate his life in a meaningful way.

We are raising funds to help cover the costs of a Celebration of Life gathering and a memorial bench in Chris’s honor. The memorial bench will be placed in Hampton Bays, a place that held special meaning for Chris and where we can visit to remember and reflect on the beautiful memories we shared.

The funds raised will go toward:

• Memorial service costs (venue, food, flowers, etc.)

• The installation of a memorial bench, plaque, and related fees

• Any remaining funds will be donated to Chris’s mother as she navigates this tragedy and seeks support in her healing.

We are grateful for any support you can offer, whether it be through a donation, sharing this campaign, or simply keeping us in your thoughts. Together, we can create a lasting tribute to Chris and the love he brought into our lives.
