The Chris I Knew?when I started 6th grade at a new school, not knowing a single soul, Chris befriended me. He tapped me on the shoulder & said, ?I?m Chris, want to hang out?? It led to a fun-filled 3 years at West Middle School; even when we were getting into trouble. He was so funny; probably the only person I?ve met that had the same sense of sarcasm & humor mix as I. When we started laughing, we could never stop. I remember vividly when we would ?grade? each other?s science tests in class & look at one another with a wink & thumbs up each time we were correct?& each time we were wrong (because we would erase the wrong answer & put the correct one!). I remember him being my first wing man, even when we were so young we had no idea what that meant. I remember the overnight trip to the S& Dunes in 7th grade, & how harmless pranks nearly got us both sent home. The kid could make me laugh on the spot & I always cherished that about him. In high school at Coronado we once again had classes together & I can remember Ms. Chapman?s English class & reading ?To Kill a Mockingbird?. We were so immature & thought the name ?Boo Radley? was the funniest thing we had ever heard. Even into our late teens & early twenties, we messaged or emailed each other ?Boo Radley?s coming?. He got me involved in yearbook & even did a story about me senior year because he wanted people, even people we had gone to school with for years, to know more about his friend. That was Chris, always caring for his friends & always proud to say ?can I help?, ?do you need anything?, ?thank you for being a friend?. He was an incredible friend but an even better person. While we stayed in touch after high school, as we each progressed through our lives, the connection was not always strong. But I always knew if I needed anything, I could reach out to Chris. I always knew that no matter what was going on in my life, Chris would be interested & supportive. In losing him, I so wish I could have given that back to him more as he gave so much to me, & others. I know that Chris had struggles & dealt with so much inner pain throughout his life that he would often call me at any hour of the morning asking for answers. I wish I could have provided him those answers to help ease his mind, & soul. I hope that Chris has reached a sense of peace that perhaps he couldn?t find in life. & to Chris, I can say, you saved my life multiple times, & I thank you. I only wish I could have had that one last conversation with you, to try & make you laugh, to try & make you remember how many lives you have truly impacted. I had hoped Chris & I would get the chance to see each other for the first time in years during his planned visit to Colorado. I wanted to introduce him to my fiancé?, invite him to our upcoming wedding & be able to say ?thank you?, knowing that I could have always been a better friend to him. I guess, I?ll have to wait a little longer to see him again. He told me he couldn?t make it to Colorado after all, & I said ?please take care of yourself?. He responded, ?I?ll be ok?. It breaks my heart that I couldn?t have done more to make sure of that?but if anyone ever asks me to describe Chris, I can say with love, respect & gratitude: he was a great friend, a great person & one of a kind. He changed my life in so many great ways, & I know he changed others. He loved his family, he loved his friends, & he always kept a dream alive to inspire something great. & even though he has passed to soon, he has inspired me. I?ll always love & respect him for that. Thank you for being my friend Christopher; we all live our lives differently, & we can question judgments & decisions but you lived your life the right way, because you loved people & you impacted so many in so many positive ways. Be at peace my friend; we will meet again & I have no doubt, ?Boo Radley? will be a topic of discussion. I love you man, I will miss you, my prayers to your family? Your friend, Michael Seyfert
