There are so many happy and funny memories of Chris.

His motorcycle antics were scary, but he made them out to be funny. He seemed to not have a care in the world. He was so happy and proud to buy his motorcycle. He spent A LOT of money on it. How excited he was to go get it that day. I waited around at home for him and started to worry a little. Justin came in the front door and told me Chris has crashed. Chris walks in the back door saying, “Don’t worry, I’m OK”. He was all bruised and could hardly walk. His bike was almost totaled. He had ridden it for 2 miles and 10 minutes. Surprisingly he was very calm even after a hospital stay and very sore for over a week. Plus the bike was over $4000.00 damage. Not too long after he was just riding along and an old lady came out of a road and hit him. He was OK, but his bike was messed up again. One day, about 2 months later he rode to work and after work he went to get on his bike and it had been hit in the parking lot and was lying on the ground damaged. We told him that was 3 strikes, time to get rid of it. He loved it too much. Two months later he went to a meeting at the courthouse. When he came out he told us he felt so cool with his helmet and bike and a lot of people were around looking at the bike. He gets on his bike and revs up the engine acting all macho. He wanted to leave the parking lot looking cool. He puts it in gear and revs up and the back wheel flips up and he falls off landing in a big flower garden. He had forgotten he put the front locks on. He was so embarrassed he got right up and left. To hear him tell this story was so funny. We were all rolling on the floor laughing. His brother Justin has the bike now and we hope he has more luck with it.

What awesome memories!!

We love ya buddy!!
