In loving memory of Chris

Chris and I recently went to Washington for a wedding and per usual, decided to extend our trip to include a ton of sightseeing, renting a large SUV and seeing new places. Chris always humored me when I found a new place to visit, and always excitedly agreed to include that into our itinerary. I did

Chris was one of the few people that helped me out whenever he could. We enjoyed each other's online and in-person. We would get together to LAN and spent many nights gaming on Starcraft/Overwatch/etc... And then do the same thing online. We founded a gaming team called "clan element" together (He

2006 was my First experience doing Friendsgiving with Chris. It was the day of my birthday and I remember bouncing from apartment to apartment at Cal Poly pomona trying to satisfy everyone who had thrown a surprise party for me. Luckily I accomplished that feat, but the majority of my night spent it

One of the last times we hung out, we went to Dave & Busters… you kept kicking our butts lol 🏎️. I remember being so impressed how effortlessly and casually you stayed in 1st place—you’re so cool. You didn’t even really celebrate or rub it in our faces, you just kept driving and laughing at us gett

Welcome to the wall for Chris. Please include a post if you are here. A memory, a favorite quirk about Chris (he had a lot) or condolences are appreciated. You can even upload a photo. I am overwhelmed with the wonderful stories and loving memories to share. I decided to start somewhere and just sta

Thanks for putting this together Jess! Thanks everyone for being here and posting! I met Chris back in the Summer of 2005!!! We worked together along with another brother of mine, Dennis Aguirre, at Cal Poly Pomona and we hit it off since then. We shared the same love for music, culture, and food

I have been meaning to write some of my memories with Chris here, but it's still so tough to think about very much! I'll start by typing what I said at his memorial, as well as I can remember... For those of you that don't know me, I'm Chris' cousin Zach. This has been a really difficult thing

Some of my best memories of New York were when Chris came to visit - the number of activities we ended up getting into in one week (which consisted of really good food, nightclubs, meeting new friends, random limos, music festivals, and Turkish baths) could amount to a months’ worth of fun…it was al

I knew of Chris when I was at La Salle because his younger brother Ben was my close friend. Chris was an outbound senior and I was a freshman. We didn’t really connect until I was graduating and I decided to go to Cal Poly with Ben and Chris. Upon hearing I’d been accepted and planned to attend Ca

The background image on the main page of this site is of evergreen trees. Since Chris grew up in Seattle and we frequently traveled there, I got to experience the "Emerald City" and each trip I was in awe of the evergreen trees that populate the area. We use the term "evergreen" in marketing to refe

I met Chris on a work trip to Fullerton, CA around 2013 or so, but it wasn't until we started working together in Virginia that we really got to know each other. We were in the middle of a hellish schedule to open a road which involved nights, weekends, and holidays to get everything up and running.

I'm shocked that you didn't come to Jess in a dream and tell her to install 2-factor authentication and force everyone to update their site password! J/k - whenever I'm doing serious problem solving at work, Chris never fails to pop into my head reminding me to be thorough and look under every rock
