A memory with Chris I had was being best friends with him for the longest time...We would get in fights one day and be best friends again the next day. His family always thought I was the bad one, but in the end, neither of us were bad, he had his lifestyle and I had mine..His life was turning around and looking better and then this...its so hard to understand why sumthin like this could happen...this will sit with me forever, i have now lost a best friend. I talked to Joey on the phone today, it wasnt really the kind of conversation I wanted to have with him after not talking to him for a long time. My heart goes out to all of the people that saved a little room for Chris in your heart over the years, not the bad image of him, but the good one...I'd give anything for me to be fighting with Chris today and being best friends tomorrow...

all the random times we'd go to new searls and see him there playing ball. no matter how distant we became over the time, he still would treat any of us like brothers when he saw us again. he was one of the few of the crew that helped me get into trouble in jr.high; i've never had so much fun. Chris M., Mike P., Brendan Mc., Porter, Me, Sargent, Jeff, and so many others had so much fun just being idiots.

he showed me pictures of his baby when i saw him two weeks ago at Margarita's, i've never seen someone so happy when pulling out their wallet in my life. hope i never forget the huge smile on his face when i told him his baby looked chineese like he did when she smiled.

i should went to the strip club with him that night...

sleep well Connelly~

I remember burning down a small forest with him near my house and doing all kinds of crazy shit and blaming it on other kids and we'd watch um get in trouble... its fucked up to think that the person i did that with is no longer here. I feel bad about the whole thing and i just hope the best for his family.

I remember the times at FJHS when I would walk down the hall and get in the crowd with dave, chris m and chris c and many others and I would just have the time of my life because all of you guys together were so fun and so awesome. OH the memories come flooding back now and I think of the time I had a crush on every single one of the guys in that group at some point in time that year

UGHH

I unfourtunately got the call in the middle of class. I'm not gonna lie, i cried. Not because i was best friends with Chris, but because it just goes to show you how short life really is. It could have easily been anyone of us, and that scares me. It just so hurtful that it happened at a time when he was really turning his life around. No matter how bad of a kid people say he was... you can never say he was a bad person. He didn't deserve this... not now, not ever

I remember making fun of chris's big fat brother with him. and ridding on his ghetto stomper bike by the handle bars. we just got along with everyone else, being kids. you dont relize what pain there is to a death till you experience one. You know i wish things were the way they used to be. lives take turns, but you can do the steering, i think im going to make a huge effort to steer it back over to some of the friends that my life used to drive by day in and day out.
well,
Be good connelly

RIP CHRIS - 11/9/04 <3

There was this one time, me, mike, bre, chris, jeff and court all went bowling at ghetto leda's...we played a string and were the only ones in there because it reeked of polyurethane cause they were redoing the floors...
then we walked down amherst st. to Kmart where we did destructive things and rode bikes and skateboards all around the store...we had the best times doing stupid shit...i have the collage of pics at home from that day.

after those days i only saw him once in a while driving around in his Nick's Roadside assistance truck where he always had a smile and a wave to offer, or somewhere at the mall where he never hesitated to give a hug and kiss

it still doesnt seem real to me, but my heart is with his family and all you guys who i know will miss him dearly <3

Nothing like a tragedy to bring people together...

OK, so I've been just looking at people's journals & reading all these things about Chris... It's crazy to see just how many peoples' lives he has impacted in one way or another...

I know I haven't talked to you in forever Amy, buuuut I figured now's as good a time as any to say hi. This whole thing kind of makes me think of so many things/memories, and you just happened to pop up in there, too, sooooo I just wanted to say thanks for being my bestest friend waaaay back in the day. :) We had so much fun. :) It's just so sad that it has to be something like this to make us realize how lucky we are...
