Ramsey Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have heard from many that were closer to him than i was, that he passed in his sleep. I have known him for a while and he came off on this board a little wrong, but in person he was chill. R.I.P Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an 18 year old buddy in HS that passed b/c of a heart condition. He was in shape to, played alot of basketball and sports in general. Just like that, gone.

MrMeanGreen Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Although he didn't start very well on CR, and people never gave him a fighting chance, him and I talked once-in-awhile and he wasn't too bad for the most part after our initial differences. I'd only met him a few times in person, but it's sad to see someone dedicated to so much go so early, and my prayers go to his friends and family. Peace be with him and them. That being said, my wife's uncle died in his sleep at 30 of a condition called "Sleep Apnea", where he randomly stopped breathing for extended periods of time. One night, he never started breathing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One night, he never started breathing again. I stopped breathing 40+ times a night. I was diagnosed with it this year and I had surgery (tonsils and adenoids removed, Uvula removed, and a deviated septum corrected) in Jan. I no longer have it I was re-tested in may.

SpaceGhost Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 For anyone mad that their posts were edited, you never know who is looking at this site, what friends or family are here, I feel we don't need to upset family and friends. Have some respect please. Maybe I shouldn't have edited them but I did. It just felt wrong reading it the way it was worded...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 If anybody comes out tonight I say a prayer would be in good order for a fallen CR comrad and his family. I will have a candle in his behalf. If anybody else wants to follow suit feel free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Didn't he run ColumbusStreetRacing? I thought he did but I went there and there was no thread about it.... There is a thread asking Admins that knew him to contact someone that was all I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedrx7 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 he was out at spice bar on tuesday night and we think he passed away that night when he got back in his sleep. its really hard to believe he is gone. It's really hard to believe that someone wouldnt like him, he is really out going on seems to get along with everyone. he had his opinions and would always voice them lol but, still. Im not sure if anyone had gotten a hold of his mom yet to start making arrangements, the last i heard she was in flordia and they were having trouble getting a hold of her. RIP chris.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I stopped breathing 40+ times a night. I was diagnosed with it this year and I had surgery (tonsils and adenoids removed, Uvula removed, and a deviated septum corrected) in Jan. I no longer have it I was re-tested in may. I have it and have a machine for it that does nothing. I am haveing that surgery as soon as I get insurance again. Has he had his funeral yet? I whould chip in on flower to send over for it if not.

MrMeanGreen Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have confirmed this is the truth and not a prank or misinformation of any type. Chris had not been heard from in several days, so a couple of his friends went to his house and kicked his door down last night about 11pm where they found him dead where he apparently had passed in his sleep. The authorities are still attempting to reach his mother who lives in Florida and are pending an autopsy to find the cause of death. Again, this is very sad and I feel for his friends and family. Whether or not he had the best repoire with CR in the past, he was still a part of the local automotive community and that made him a part of CR and everything we're here for. Thanks everyone.
