Michelle & Jeff, I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I had the privledge of meeting him several years ago and remember how he introduced himself to me, as Michelle and Jeff Lawson's little brother. He definitely made us laugh that night and his smile was contagious. Watching his actions as he talked and laughed was obvious he was your brother. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

how do i start this, chris was a favorite cousin of mine and i will truly miss him. when my son kasey had a bad wreck at the track that knocked him out he was the first to me and told me he's tough just like me and will be alright, he stayed by me til they drove off and gave me a big hug and a kiss and said he has that welker blood in him and he will be fine which helped me so much. he was a great cousin of mine and i will really miss him alot. i cant believe he's gone, but not in spirit i will always carry him in my heart forever. may god bless aunt georgia and uncle david and everyone else especially his brothers and sister and his daughters. we will get through this with gods help. R.I.P. chris you will be missed by alot of people that loved you and cared for you i know i will. sincerely, cousin teresa burch
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. Chris was a super person. It's been many years since I left Farmington, but you never forget the people you've grown up with and the good times shared. I specifically remember cruising around in his black Trans Am and playing Bon Jovi 7800 Degrees until our ears hurt. Those were the days. He will be missed dearly.
Chris was a good friend, he was outgoing, funny, smart, and a great guy to be around. He will always be in our thoughts and prayers. He will be missed very much. Our dearest sympathies go out to the girls.
