I continue to be impacted by the way to early in life passing of Christopher. As his most grateful teacher, his exemplary dedication to becoming the best in whatever he undertook, has left a very beautiful memory in my heart. God bless the Morrissey family for their continuing efforts in helping the many others who have suffered the loss of their loved ones.

Christopher was a wonderfully talented, amazingly gifted young man. As a fourth grader, he excelled in academics and will always be remembered by me as an outstanding dancer for our shows at the Howell Senior Center. The knowledge he displayed as an avid fan of the show "Jeopardy", will always leave me believing what a formidable opponent he might have been if selected as a contestant on that program. Christopher has been missed by many and gratefully his legacy lives on through the wonderful foundation his family has established in his name.

Christopher was a teacher's joy and was always eager to excel in whatever he undertook, be it in academics, sports, his nightly self competitions with "Jeopardy", chorus, and close to my heart, our country dancing. Chris had a consistently upbeat personality. He has been sorely missed. God Bless his loving family-Joni, Rob and Nick-and their friends, who have kept Chris' legacy alive through their amazing foundation.

Chris was and still is my best friend forever. no one can ever replace him. i have so many memories with him i dont even know where to start. We would wake up and chill all day intill night and even then we would sleepover each others house and be up till 4 in the morning. With other friends i might get bored after a few hour. I cant remember i time ever that i was bored with Chris, he just made life so much fun. Playing maypink baseball and football, supersmash bros, chillin at the alley. there is so much we did together. Chris family is like a 2nd home to me, they would treat me like i was one of the kids. This really couldn't of happened to a nicer family. Rob would always be so funny and hang watching the games with us. Joni is the strongest most caring women i know shes always taking us places plus making the GREATEST food ever. i will never forget what Chris and his family did for me i love all of them so much i cant even describe. He made everyone around him a better person and its a honor to be so close to him and his family. Rip Cri
