Chris, from being that cool and fun ‘netball dad’ taking the girls when we couldn’t, being our driver whenever we weren’t in a good state! The Chinese takeaway nights and BBQs; and the endless rugby chats …shall miss you loads. Thank you for the memories. Thinking of you on your birthday! God keep you until we meet again. Love the Paramores xx

You were one of the good ones, it’s tragic to have been taken in your prime. It’s been an honour and privilege to have known you. I’m going try to live my life and be a bit more Chris.

Chris, I can’t believe you’ve gone. You were one of the most pleasant, funny and upbeat person I knew. So willing to share, shape and influence those around you. Over the years we had together you taught me how to be a gentlemen, I thank you and miss you. My thoughts are with you and your family who I know were very special to you. Gob bless

Still such sad news. Such an inspiration and example of how to behave and deal with people and the most stressful situations. Kind, calm, funny, caring. Nothing was ever too much trouble.Always ensured everyone was included.
