"Uncle Ed's Eulogy = Part 1 of 3Like his cousin Jeremy before him, Christopher spent a lot of time at our house, especially before going to kindergarten. His Aunt was suffering from "Affection Abundance Disorder", with her youngest daughter Christine in school she had an overabundance of squeezes to give and cookies to bake. She needed a little munchkin to share these with. Christopher was the perfect treatment. We loved having Christopher in our home. From a very early age it was clear Chris loved anything associated with technology - phones, stereos, VCR's and especially computers and cars. His first computer was a Fischer_Price. No battery required. He quickly graduated to his Uncle's (talking) Mac: "Hello, Chris to fer. My name is Mac. Thank you for playing with me today."No later than the age of one, he was a master race car driver, with his own built-in motor , surround sound and animation. Whenever Christopher was moving, his motor was running. Sometimes it would run even when he wasn't moving. When I say he was animated, I am being kind. He was just plain loud. He could easily get lost in his own race car world and be very, very happy... .and did I say LOUD? His cousins, and to be truthful, even his Uncle found this sometimes annoying, like when trying to listen to the news, or read a paper, or get your homework done. When his cousin Christine would declare "Christopher can be SO annoying". I knew we no longer had a cousin visiting, but an adopted little brother to Nanette and Christine.His Aunt would tolerate no criticism of Christopher. "Oh, he's just playing." "Leave Christopher alone, He's having a good time." This was not lost on Christopher. We would later learn Chris had many challenges, but being stupid was not one of them. I sometimes think he missed his true career calling, as he was a Master Actor. He knew just how long he could get away with something before running to Auntie and giving her a big hug and kiss and declaring "I love you Auntie", while being protected from the rest of us.Christopher loved to paint and draw pictures. He was uncommonly good at it. He loved the outdoors and the animals who lived there. He enjoyed hunting for sea glass at Fort Adams and counting bunnies before bedtime. We would often ride around in the Chevy until his motor ran out of gas for the night. Then Uncle Eddie would carry the 150 lb. 2 year old up to this room and tuck him in. OK, maybe that's a little bit exaggerated, but strangely, years later, he is still 150 lbs."
"Uncle Ed's Eulogy - Part 2 of 3Our Christopher saw the world differently than most of us. One night at Fort Adams near dusk, a sailboat was returning into the harbor with a light on its mast. Most of us saw a sailboat returning into the harbor, but Christopher saw a light returning into the harbor and happily declared "Auntie, that light has a boat under it!"Like his mother before him, everywhere we went, Christopher went. We went to a lot of places, but went nowhere without his favorite "Chris" hat. Chris and his hat came with us to New Hampshire and Florida. He loved the woods, caves, rocks and mountains of New Hampshire. He loved the bears at Clark's Trading Post... and the fudge. He enjoyed the swimming pools in Florida and tolerated the interruption in swimming long enough to see Disney and Epcot, too.Christopher loved going to Mass at St. Lucy's. He enjoyed the music, the people, Fr. Gene and Fr. Paul. He a uts on the way home, but as he became older I was proven wrong. He paid more attention in Mass than most any child I know his age. He would ask "Uncle, why do people go to different churches?" "Can people still go to heaven if they go to the wrong church?" When Chris, Steph, Ann Marie and Steve moved to New Hampshire a giant hole was left behind and yet a giant new canvas was available for Christopher and his family to paint a new life. He loved New Hampshire. He loved the fresh air, the woods, the stars, and the quiet. He loved his little sister who was growing up. Our family saw Chris and Steph on holidays, vacations, and maybe a few weeks in the summer for 20+ years. We kept in touch as best we could, but it wasn't like being there all the time. We took more family trips together and learned Christopher ate enough when he was with us to survive a few months until the next visit. It was clear as Christopher grew older that he faced challenges. He had trouble making decisions. You didn't want to be waiting for him to decide what to pick off a menu. He had other challenges like handling his temper, selecting good friends and focusing on schoolwork instead of video games. He was never too far from a computer or the color orange. He was a loving and trusting young man, maybe too much so. He drifted into unhealthy activities for a time with unfortunate choices of "friends". He hurt himself and the people he loved doing it. In spite of this, Our Christopher was in there someplace."
"Uncle Ed's Eulogy - Part 3 of 3Chris was still a world-class hugger. There was love in each one of them. With the help of his Mom, his new stepdad Pat, his counselors, and others who loved him most closely, he slowly, but surely was getting his life back in order... one Post- It note at a time. Chris was always optimistic, looking forward, pursuing his dreams. When he finished high school, he was interviewed by a local paper. He told them, very eloquently, that he wanted to work with computers "because it was in his blood". He may have since changed his mind in favor of mechanic, forest ranger, or counselor, but he did have his dreams: A good job, wife, kids, home and a VW in the driveway.Christopher enjoyed talking with Grandmother "Nana" Weinand for hours at a time. Recently she left us unexpectedly. Perhaps she was on a mission to prepare a space for Christopher. For reasons we do not understand, that make no sense, and that we do not want to accept, the Lord decided it was time to bring Christopher home, to give him peace that only our Creator can give him. A few days before He called him, He sent Christopher on a private mission; a mission to give Ann Marie a special edition of his world class hugs, a hug that would say "You are Great, Mom" and "I'm Sorry, I've been a pain" all at the same time as he wrapped her in his love for a moment that will last forever.Our Christopher is now His Angel in Heaven. Our Creator does this not to bring us sorrow, but so that we may share with each other the joy of having known Christopher, a young man that saw the world differently and opened our hearts. The lights in the harbor all have boats under them and we may never have noticed before Christopher showed us the way."
"Steve, Ann Marie and Stephanie, we are so sorry for your loss, our condolences go out to you and your entire family. Christopher is at peace now and watching from heaven. He was a good soul and a joy to be around. He always had something funny to say or do to get everyone laughing. He will be greatly missed. Know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many people now and in the future. Wendy and family."
"I'm D.J. Chris's Long Time Best Friend. I'm Going To Miss How Great A Person He Was To Be Around & How Wonderful A friend He Was To Me.

"what a beautiful summarization of a dear life that obviously broight much joy and laughter to your own. I met chris as a child when he was the neighbr in Glendale to my own son Mike a yr youngers. They lost touch with a change of town and school choice that we made. yrs later there is Chris working at Hannaford.- polite and friendly; a nice young man on his way I thought. I reminded him who I was as he had not seen me in yrs but you could tell he was trying to recall my face. First I saw him briefly at Dunkin Donuts but later at hannafords in gilford.We miss not seeing him a wk ago tomorrow. I commented to my partner actually. Chris would glow and talk about a fun interesting wkend he had with his bike, one time talking about his dreams of being in love and caring for a young child as part of the package. I'm sure in his mind he did all right that he could to be a good person in his own eyes. One day we met eyes at a mutual health providers office.; didn't faze either one, never mentioned. Both to get help in this life at times.He'll will be missed at the store giving friendly, helpful and sometimes comical service. God bless and keep him.sincerely, Dianne, mom of Mike (we lived in the glendale store when the apt was first turned into an appt. All the best to the family. Find comfort in the sadness he had to feel he had to choose like that. God's Angels were there to carry him to a home that was better suited for him at this time."
"I will truly miss his smiling face walking through my door at least once sometimes 3 times a week & I Will miss our talks about video "games & computers"..

"I was one of Chris' former Gilford High School classmates in the same graduating class of 2005. He was one of my first friends I met when I moved to New Hampshire and it's really hard to believe that he is gone. I am also friends with Casey as well. My family and my girlfriend send their support and sympathy. RIP Chris; you will never be forgotten. - Steven R. Murphy"
