The Universe set Christopher free on August 13th, 2006. We will always be grateful for the lessons he taught us about life...Be kind, to all people. Reach outside yourself and embrace others. Have compassion from deep within your heart. Allow passion to guide your life - settle for nothing less. Touch others...give real hugs. Love deeply and never stop telling those you love how much they mean to you. And most importantly, always be unconditional, for you never know another's story. Christopher inspired us all to embrace life. At 6'3" he was no "small" man, but became known as "Tiny." A charismatic man, Christopher engaged everyone he met and communicated most deeply through his cooking. An extremely talented chef, Christopher has left a legacy through his creation of original recipes for restaurants across Arizona and California. He will be deeply missed as a husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Chris was a resident of Huntington Beach and tried to make a daily trip to the doggie beach. He spent many hours there with his family and their dog Missy. It was his sanctuary and the place where he connected with those he loved.
It would be his wish that in his memory, dog beach members make a small donation to dog beach in lieu of flowers.
