Christopher was killed on the 8th of May 2005.
He'd been on a night out with his best friend and was knocked down and killed by a speeding car on
his way home just 2 yds from the front door.
Christopher was a lovely lad. He was such good company he always used to make me laugh.
When he was out with friends he always had to be the funny guy making everyone laugh and keeping
their spirits up by talking in a funny voice or cracking jokes.
He was caring and loyal to his friends and always ready to listen when anyone was going through a
bad time and likewise they would do the same for him. I'm so grateful that he had such a good set
of friends and none of them were into drugs or anything like that.
He was a big Michael Jackson fan and would often get asked to perform the famous moon walk which
christopher had practised over and over again from being quite small until he'd perfected it. All
his friends used to love watching him do this, me included, he'd even tried to show me how to do
it.
Christopher was also a very sensitive lad, we would sit for hours late at night talking about things
and having a few drinks and listening to music. Christopher and I liked exactley the same music and
we would often dance together in the lounge to our favourite songs. I miss him so much it
physically hurts. I feel like part of my body is missing.
Christopher was my only child and we were so close. I brought him up on my own for the first 10
years of his life and we had such a bond. There are times when I feel I don't want to go on living
but I know I have to.
On New Year's Eve 2005 it would have been Christopher's 21st Birthday. He had just recently passed
his driving test first time and I was so proud of him. I'd promised to buy him a car for his 21st,
and just shortly after his death I saw the perfect car for sale near where we live. I so wish he
could be here to celebrate this. Now New Year's Eve will always be a sad time for us.
I miss you so much Christopher and you are in my thoughts every waking hour. I will always love you
and you will be in my heart forever. I've not just lost a son, I've lost a friend too.
Love Mum XX
Christopher
You were the inspiration for the 'Gone-Too-Soon' website. One of your school friends saw the montage that had been done by another friend and asked your mam if he could use those words to set up a site for people who had lost loved ones. Who would have thought it would take off like it has? I felt brave enough to go on the site and read all the lovely messages from your friends.
It has given your mam & dad such comfort to read all the tributes to you, all the letters of support that people have sent them. The 'Gone-Too-Soon' website has given so much comfort to so many families all over the world. It's just a shame we had to loose you to give someone the idea for it.
Your grandad and I still talk about you all the time, it seems a lifetime since we saw you. Your in our thought almost all our waking moments. It's impossible to put into words how much we miss you. You should be here to celebrate your 23rd birthday with us on New Years Eve. Happy Birthday Love.
All our love, Gramma & Grandad

I was one of Chris close friends when we were younger, he always had a certain charm to him, always smiling and laughing.
I've just come back from Oz, and heard of this tragedy :( Chris always use to talk fondly of his Mum, I remember at School he said that you was his best friend.

to a heartbroken family
I am so sorry for you loss, i know exactly where you are coming from when you say a part of you is missing.
Why do things like this happen to us?
i read over and over so many times about these wonderful people who had great sense of humour and were good and yet they are taken from us.
Life is so very cruel, my heart goes out to you
In my thoughts

My Thoughts Are With You
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember reading about Christopher in the Eve Post. I know the heartache, pain and emptiness you are feeling as I lost my daughter in March of this year at the age of 16. Life seems so unfair. Time does not heal the pain, you just long to have your child back more and more as each day passes. Hayley was my whole world and my life. I do not feel that I want to live anymore without her, like you with Christopher, but we know that we have to carry on like they would want us to and be strong for them. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. xxx
2 YEARS

Two years too many
It only seems like yesterday since you were taken from me. It doesn’t get easier with time like people tell you. I think about you every day and talk to you all the time - I hope you can hear me.
The man who killed you was let out of prison on the 3rd of May. His life will go back to normal now but ours never will. There is no justice in this world.
It’s nice to see your friends have remembered you today, which goes to prove what a lovely person you were and what a good set of friends you had.
Love you ALWAYS - Mum xx
We remember hearing the news
And two years have now passed.
There's no need for constant reminders
Our memories of you will forever last.
Forever in our hearts, love Auntie Mandy, Uncle Michael, Jenna and Debra xx
