A Tribute to Chris

[Fyre]

I wasn't sure which board to post this on so I hope it's okay if I chose this one. Please forgive me if I seem a little off as it is a very sad day for me as well as many others.
You may remember or even saw pictures of a blind athlete by the name of Chris that Needsize did a post on a little bit ago.
Well, last night Chris chose to leave this world.
I had the great opportunity to work with Chris in preparing him for his first show last fall. I enjoyed every minute of my time with him, with his funny jokes and carefree attitude. Chris was a funny and pretty much amazing guy and I for one am going to miss him greatly. I invite any one that has anything to say about Chris to please post.
Because I'm a little upset at this time, Needsize, can you please post the pic of Chris again for me ? Thanks.

Fly to the Angels my friend. We will miss you.

I did not see the post but I am sorry for your friend...sounds like a brave guy to get up and do that when he could not see.

It sucks losing a good friend. You have my sympathies.

Here are a few pics from the show that Chris did in Oct this past year. I've trained around him for years, and would have had a ton of respect for him even if he was not blind. He was a focused, dedicated trainer, and the strongest person in the gym (We have over 3000 members).
i was looking forward to competing against him this year
Sorry for the non platinums, i cant post full sized pics

Thanks gymrat for doing those full sized

I'm deeply sadened to hear about this. May God bless him.

He looks good and very healthy...what happened to him?

 

[gymrat]

To say Chris was an amazing athlete would be an understatement. In every sport he had done, he excelled to the the elite level. He was a Nationally ranked armature wrestler, an accomplished judo player, and without a doubt he would of torn up the Bodybuilding scene.

A great athlete, and a better friend.

Losing a close friend is horrible... I wish you the most sympahty and God Bless him as well.
