Christopher was an unstoppable force of humor and creativity who lived life on his own terms. Chris was the friend who said what everyone else was thinking but wouldn't dare say out loud - the one who could find dark humor in any situation and make you laugh when you shouldn't. Despite facing serious health challenges with dialysis and heart complications, he never lost his edge or his ability to craft the perfect inappropriate joke at the worst possible moment. He was brilliant, controversial, fearless, and absolutely irreplaceable.
