Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• Dear Gail and family; We were saddened when I learned just today that your cherished son Christopher passed away last October. After reading his obituary notice I can only imagine the void this beautiful person has left in your life. What a caring and interesting guy he was! I hope you have found the courage and support to move forward finding joy in your life. . Although it is not easy, I am sure this is what he wished for you. I know you feel gratitude for the wonderful years you shared with this amazing man. Please accept our belated sympathy. God bless. Love, Gil and Elsie d'Eschambault - Posted by: Elsie Deschambault (friends) on: Feb 19, 2021

• I am so sorry to hear of Chris's passing. I communicated frequently with Chris in the course of our work. He never mentioned to me that he was ill. Chris had a strength about him that gave others a feeling of support, just to be around him. - Posted by: Taras Stecy (Fellow Safety Officer in healthcare) on: Dec 15, 2020

• I am shocked and saddened to hear of Chris’ passing. I worked at St Amant for many years, and retired from there a year ago. Chris was a super person - a very dedicated and conscientious worker with strong morals, great conversationalist, a very caring person and he had a great sense of humour- just a solid guy. He will be greatly missed. Thinking of his family and close friends- I am so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Sally Brown (Co-worker) on: Dec 06, 2020

• I am so sorry for your loss and our loss. Chris was a great guy, always positive and always willing to fix any problem. No sooner had you sent an email with a request or identifying a problem that needed to be fixed, and Chris would be at the door to discuss and implement a plan. Chris is sorely missed. Wishing you warm memories of a good man. - Posted by: Joanne van Dyck (Co-worker) on: Nov 09, 2020

• There are many beautiful memories shared and I would like to share one of my own. Last year Chris decided that he would like to take part in a fundraising event that would have him (and others) repel down the side of the downtown Manitoba Hydro building. I am sure 99% of the population would be terrified by this but Chris wanted to get this off his “bucket list”. I would like to point out that he (to my knowledge) had never done this before, even from a smaller building. I watched many brave souls take their turns before Chris was called to take his place. Each person prior to Chris had carefully and methodically made their way down but this was not Chris’s style. With AC/DC blaring in the background Chris took giant leaps and reached the bottom in what seemed like moments. What happened then was more remarkable. Chris walked across the street to a large assembled group that I soon learned was his family. There were high fives and hugs then it was time for some photographs. Chris insisted that I join in for the family photo, I thought this should be a photo for just family members, he told me I was family and he, and his family all waved me over for the photo. I take away two things from this day. One, he would do anything for charity. Two, he was deeply loved and supported by his family. - Posted by: Paul Simpson (Friend) on: Oct 30, 2020

• I had the privilege of meeting Chris while working at St. Amant. It was not every long until we become story telling buddies; and not only that but we shared our life struggles together, he was always there for when I need a ear. He wasn’t a just a Co-worker he was a friend. I enjoyed hearing him talk about his passion such as jewellery making (which I’m honoured to have a piece of), volunteering with Special Olympics and education. I may have never met his Family in person but all I can say is that he loved you guys deeply and often had great memories and stories to share. He was very proud of the people he had in his life and wasn't afraid to share it. As mentioned above Chris made me a piece of Jewelry a bracelet that says “carpe diem”. That is some very wise words from a man who lived his life in that very same motto. I am glad he had his loved ones around him during his final days. My prayers go out to all his family and friends during this time. - Posted by: Ashley Sutherland (Co-Work & Friend ) on: Oct 27, 2020

• I had the pleasure of first getting to know Chris while we were both at St.Amant. Chris was a great friend and co-worker who always had your back. He was a fun and enjoyable person to work and hang around with. He took his work seriously and was always concerned about the health and safety of others. Chris always had interesting stories and was always willing to share what was going on in his life. I always enjoyed hearing about his jewelry making, archery and being an official timer for athletic events. Chris will be greatly missed. - Posted by: James Popel (Friend) on: Oct 26, 2020

• My wife and I were very saddened to hear of Chris’s passing. We worked with Chris at St. Amant for many years. Our thoughts and condolences go to all of Chris’s family. - Posted by: Grant Miyai (Work friend) on: Oct 25, 2020

• I am proud to say I became friends with Chris through ADAMs Monday support group. There wasn’t a meeting where Chris would not lend support to others and offer ways of dealing with their Anxiety. I was always touched with how powerful his words would be without ever being judgmental. Many times he would make others at ease with his honesty and openness with his Mental Illness. For one that battles Anxiety I was always happy to see his smiling face at a meeting. Usually he would be sitting in his chair with a welcome look on his face. I always knew when I saw him I would learn something from him. Less then a month ago he shared his diagnosis and illness during a meeting. What courage to share amongst others with such a difficult road ahead. I was able to thank him for being brave and let him know how much we all cared for him. For those family that read these I hope you all know how many people Chris helped with his journey working on his Mental Health. He was a bright light in the darkness Chris I will cherish the time I had getting to know you, I am thankful that our paths crossed in life however brief it was. I hope that wherever you are now that you are free from any pain and that you can see the impact that you had on so many that needed it. From all of your ADAM friends we miss you already - Posted by: Jeff Ducharme (Friend) on: Oct 25, 2020

• Dear Gail: Our sincerest condolences to you and your family in the untimely passing of your son, Chris. May peace be with you in this difficult time. - Posted by: Jae & Rhoda Eadie (friends of Gail) on: Oct 25, 2020

• Chris was a true Knight; always caring for others in need and ALWAYS willing to help out, no matter what the task. Our friendship lasted so many years (high school) because of this. We always had great topics to discuss during our coffee chats. God Bless old friend! You will definitely be missed by all. - Posted by: Steven Place (Friend) on: Oct 24, 2020
