Brother, you were the most energetic person I have ever had the privalage to play baseball with. You always gave it your all. I Wiil always remember the time you saved Josh Cornetts No hitter.. We were in Steam Boat Springs, in the 3rd inning and a shot was hit to you. You caught it one bounce in the out field and smoked him to at first!!! We grabbed you and swung you all over!! That was a great tournament. We had a lot of memories I can't share brother cause I still want your parents like me. Love you brother and I hope you are searching the stars like we always talked!!

Les and Sandy We are very saddened by the news of Chris's passing. Our family wants to thank you for sharing many years of friendship and love, all of which began when two little 6th grade boys met at Kemper Elementary and instantly became friends! The Allison family has always had a special place in our hearts for the family whose son brought so much fun and joy to us when we first moved to Cortez. Chris was always that friend who had an eternal smile. We have such vivid memories of the boys bouncing back and forth between our homes, busy making plans for the weekend or night. They really had some fun times together. The journey and memories continued across many soccer fields during middle school and high school. Please know we send prayers for strength and renewed understanding as you move forward in celebrating Chris's life. With the most sincere and warmest love for you and yours. Carolyn and Mike Allison

Warren and mozelle so sorry for loss.may God bless you and sandy and allfamily members.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Praying for your family!

I have many memories with Chris as a kid growing up in Colorado. From the horses, to the kittens we found in the barn, to getting shocked by the electrical fence and many more! I will never forget him and the time we shared when we were young. My thoughts and prayers are will ya'll during this time. He will be missed greatly!

We send our deepest sympathy and condolences during this difficult time. Ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort ya'll though this time. God Bless

Remembering the good times will help you through this time of sorrow. Love to this wonderful family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

I will never forget the memories that Chris Ryan and I shared. Us driving around everywhere together first in Chris's glass packed mufflered little maroon bronco (which you always heard coming) then into his silver Chevy. He had his licence well before Ryan and I so he was always the driver. I was always with Ryan so in turn we were all three always together.. There are so many places we went. End of the world, the pits, anywhere on all of the county roads, below what is now lotsa pasta taking pictures in photography class, homecoming, prom... I will miss you so much my friend. We haven't seen each other in many years and I am devestated that the opportunity is now passed. I can't believe you've left this life and, I didnt get to say goodbye. Les and Sandy, you were great parents and I am truely sorry for your loss. Its honestly a loss for all of us he's touched and the world that he left too soon. My deepest empathy. Love Jennifer Sharp (Huscher)

Saddened to read about the passing of Christopher. I enjoyed having him as a student at Kemper. I considered him to be a special student.

Les, San, and Karla, My heart is broken for your whole family. Sandy, I remember you walking on Henry with Chris just after he was born. Les, I remember Jackie saying she would babysit then forgetting to. You were so kind to show that she needed to keep her obligations. And I remember one day. I had Draven, and he wasn't very old. I needed to run an errand. Sandy, do you remember me calling you to see if Chris could watch Draven? It was so cute. He had a friend with him. They held Draven and laughed at the funny faces babies make. He was such a good kid. I remember watching him when he was little. My heart aches for your loss. With love and tears, Gail

Chris was one of Doug's favorites. He loved that kid. Said he had the most natural skiing talent he'd seen. Special boy.

Les and Sandy, We were saddened to learn about Chris's passing. We extend our deepest sympathy to you and your entire family.

Les & Sandy my condolences to you both & your families.
