" Chris and I were the best of friends back in high school. Although we seldom spoke since, each time it was as if we were best friends still. Chris adorned life and all those who had the fortune to have shared it with him. Though I will continue to share my life with Chris...he is now my angle. And if I know him correctly, he's watching over all of us because in life...we who surrounded him was what made his life complete. We love and will miss you buddy!

Be well, Jon "

" Chris will be missed at Sta 5-2 and by all who have had the pleasure to work with him. I will never forget how warm his smile was, even on the coldest fire scenes or rescue calls. I will always be listening for his "Hey there Brother, how are you doing?" on the fire/ems scenes. We love you man, rest in peace. Doc "

" My deepest sympathy to the Henderson Family.The words I used to describe was a good man. (words I use only use with Discernment to describe the best of men) I first met Chris while working in the oil patch at Milne Point and took an instant liking to him. We had a lot in common, we both loved our families, enjoyed serving in Emergency services both on the slope and in Wasilla. His son Bailey and my Grandson are Friends and have attended school together for many years. God speed Chris. "

" I did not know Chris, but I've heard alot about him. He was very precious to his family and his sons. My heart goes out to all the family, a special prayer for Joyce and Chris' father It does not seem right when a child goes before a parent, but no one is promised tomorrow so we have to make everyday special. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Carol (Aunt Cindy's friend- Aitkin Minn.) "

" I've known Chris for only two years, but came to consider him a 'real' friend. When I started my new job on the Slope, Chris was one of the first guys to really reach out and make me feel welcome. I'm gonna miss you, Chris. "

" I have only known Chris for two years, but it seems like twenty. His optimism, guidance and humor will greatly be missed by the Central fire Department, especially the “ JOKERS” at station 52. Rest in peace, brother. "

" We met Chris in the summer of 1976, when we moved into our house in North Branch, MN. A little blonde haired boy came over and introduced himself and asked if he could be our friend. From that day on he was like a part of our family just like his sister & brother where. Rick & Chris had a very special bond with each other & that never was broken. You will certainly be missed by everyone whose life you touched. We are there with you in spirit. God Bless you all. Love, Vickie "

" Always a smile, a hug and a laugh, Chris will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him. Energy can not be made nor destroyed, it just changes state and the energy that is Chris is just not in the physical form any longer. We will meet again my friend, in the mean time I will pray for your boys and your family. "

My heart goes out to you, Melissa, to your sons and to the rest of Chris' family.

Sincerely,

" Chris was special to every person he met. Once you became his friend, he would do anything for you. We will miss our time with Chris, especially dinners, snowmaching and time in the "man cave" Chris is a very special angel and we know he will be looking out for Josh and Bailey. "
