I met the little fella at Jaybr's in 2004. I knew he was Joe's as I seen them together at his campsite. I knew the kids because they hung out in front of my campsite playing with the other kids.

Joe,

I first read this thread in a Holiday Inn on the road away from home. I must of cried for an hour. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Hang in there Joe, and hug all the other kids real tight tonight just because you can never get too many hugs from the ones you love.

Godspeed #4

Joe. You don't know me but we have much in common. I saw this post on Kawiedriders a few hours ago but I haven't been up to posting yet. I want you to know that there is no answer this side of heaven as to why this happened. I also want you to know that God heals and he will provide the strength if you let him.

I also want you to assure you that there is something good from this right now. I can't tell you how many grown men and women have sat at their computer and wept like I have this morning, but I promise you it is a lot. They may not all post, but they are all affected. Like many of us I get too caught up in my busy life to remember the many blessings we all have been given every day. After initially reading this I hugged my 5 year old son (who bears a resemblance to Chris) for 5 minutes. I just couldn't let him go. Your story and Chris' memory will impact how and when I make time for him and his siblings. I am positive that my family will not be the only one positively impacted in this way. I am well aware that this is not a fair trade trade for Chris' life. But it is something. God bless you and your family.

-Mark

I am sorry for your loss man.

I lost a friend this year in an accident, she was only 15 years old.

My best wishs go out to you family and friends.

I am glad this thread is still going strong. The support has been HUGE.

I want to thank everone who has sent cards and flowers. We got flowers from atvriders.com that were beautiful. I personally viewed and smelled every flower arrangement. Many of them had names of folks I didn't even recognize. Most of them are with Chrissy at his grave. Armoks attended the visiting hours at the church and that meant alot. There may have been some others there too that I didn't get a chance to greet and if so I am sorry.

Reading all of these replies has shaken me to the core. I noticed how many people were either first time posters, new members or from other sites. This type of event is terrible but has had some positive effects. Hopefully some of the new members who joined just to post here will stay and make new friends. There are some really nice folks here at atvriders.com and I feel honored to call you all friends.

Those of you that mentioned how this has made you hug your kids, appreciate your family & friends and are stopping to smell the roses.............I share your thoughts. I haven't told my kids I love them nearly enough............and I am going to change all of that.

I printed this thread on friday and took it to the church saturday for the funeral service. It was 16 pages of posts here..............which equals about 150 pages of paper. I will keep it forever.

the picture of the boy above with the helmet on backwards is actually #3 AKA Wyatt. He misses his little brother.

I thought you all might like to know.................we had an atv riding funeral of sorts. Since Christopher was buried here on our property we all ended up here at my house at the end. Of course all of the children in attendence wanted to ride. Who was I to deny them a good time. I suppose I should have taken some pictures. I did get some good pictures I will share from the past week.

first a picture of Christopher

Joe, the article on the reason for his death is definatley a good read. After this past year, I know all too well how bad it can be and how fast it can strike. I went from ok to critical in 2 days.

Your a rock Joe, I dont know how your holding up but I know you all will be ok. The family sent a little something down, do with it as you see fit. We would also like to come down in a few weeks to see you all in person. After reading this thread the wife and kids insist upon it.

And Ill third this.

I havent yet posted, but I have read through all the prayers and condolences and wish to offer mine as well. You are definitely an example to all of us through this. God has a plan, and if you can provide inspiration to 1000's, if not more, people, then in some small way thats a positive.

Best wishes to your family, may God lend His grace to you.

she is still in shock I think. One minute she is cooking & cleaning,,,,,,,the next she is blaming herself. She is a strong woman,,,,,,I am sure she will pull through this. She needs more time to mourn.

As a father, I know the pain. As a mother, I can only imagine.

4punks i just wanted to say that i'm sorry for the loss of your child. Your family will be in my prayers. I don't have kids so i'm not exactly sure on what you are going through, but i do have nephews and i don't know what i would do without them.

When i was 14 i lost both of my parents two weeks apart and one of my brothers, 6 yrs later. What i'm trying to say is keep your head up and always talk about your son. Don't be afraid to use his name. If you need to cry, then cry.

Best of luck to you, your wife, and your other kids.

By the way, Christopher was a very cute kid! :)

oddly enough, its a dora the explorer play set (doll house if you ask me). He insisted he wanted it for christmas, so the wife got it for him. He played with it for hours & hours..........If thats what he wanted, I am glad she got it for him. At the time I wasn't real happy. :p

he had just gotten done riding it. Notice the mud caked on the tires. I didn't get any pictures of him on it that day. It was the day before he left us.

Joe,

I feel like I've been living in a cave. This is the first I've heard of it. My first thought was your nephew when I read the initial message. I'm speachless. If there is anything we can ever do, please let us know. God bless you.

So sorry to hear that. I haven't been here for a while, and reading this makes me want to cry. I have a 5 year old son, and I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. Just scrolling thru the pics I got very upset. I hope you and your family are getting through this difficult time. Please be aware that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Your son looks like a great kid.....I'm sorry I never met him and gave him the chance to show me how to jump my quad.....
But rest assured, he's getting some serious air and roosting the competition in heaven right now......

Deepest Condolences,

Jerry

That thing is beautiful..... I haven't posted in this thread yet b/c I wasn't sure what to say or how to word it if I did.... I've lost a couple people that were REALLY close to me but I couldn't imagine........ You got a 200+ guys in this thread alone that got your back if you need anything though... Obviously I'm not real good with words when it comes to situations such as this one... hopefully you get the message....

Best Wishes,
Mike

A friend of our family passed away a few years ago.....my older sister had known her since pre-school and had been friends with her ever since Sadly, she died in a car accident in 2002....she was only 34 years old. One of her friends wrote this on her obit guest book.......I thought Joe & family might like to read it.


Don't think of them as gone away,
their journey has just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
this earth is only one.

Just think of them as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
in a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days and years.

Think of how they must be wishing
that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of them as living
in the hearts of those they touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and they were loved so much.

Here is what her mom and dad put on her headstone.....

If tears Could Build a Stairway,
And Memories a Lane,
I'd Walk Right Up To Heaven,
And Bring You Home Again.

Take care 4Punks family!!

Joe, As you know I am usually a man of many words, but everytime it comes to this subject I am speechless. We still think of "CHRISSY" on a daily basis as well as the rest of your wonderful family.
I feel very blessed and fortunate to be able to call you a friend, and Im sure "CHRISSY" and the rest of the punks are the luckiest in the world to be able to call you "DAD"..........TAKE CARE and GOD Bless!
