In memory of Chris Chen

Due to many requests from family and friends, we are setting up a GoFundMe page in honor of Chris Chen: A beloved son, brother, boyfriend, and friend who was taken from us too soon. In high school, Chris was an integral member of many clubs such as Cross Country, Science Olympiad, and National Honor Society. After graduating in 2006, Chris studied at New York University Stern School of Business. He was in the Honors program studying finance and was able to pursue his long held dream to work on Wall Street. He also found his academic interests extended to other disciplines such as computer science. Chris also found himself passionate in developing a distinctive taste about films and music. After graduating NYU Stern, Chris’ determined spirit led him to work at Credit Suisse shortly after. Furthermore, Chris went on to work at Morgan Stanley. Then towards the end of 2015, Chris switched to work at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. His childhood goal was to live and work in New York City and we could not be more proud of Chris for persevering through hardships to achieve it.

Anyone who wishes to show their support to my family and I during this devastating and heartbreaking time may do so. No amount is too small. We really, from the bottom of our hearts, appreciate all the support we have already received and are further getting. Thank you.
