Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• Chris, tomorrow you would have been 33 years of age. It's very difficult to imagine what you would have looked like at that age. Your passing is as vivid today as it was on the day we were informed you had died. In the words of your Dad, "We Love You Still" Hugs Love Mom - Posted by: Val Surbey (Mom) on: Oct 12, 2020

• I worked with Chris on Kent Road prior to him moving to Talbot. He was a great kid always pulling pranks and telling jokes. After he moved he came to visit at Kent Road often. I remember the last time I saw him by the 7-11 on Narin. I was on my way to work at Kent Road. He made a joke and then he walked away turning back to smile and laugh well because I didn’t get the joke. I thought of him today and thought I’d share. It’s been a long time and I left Kent Road shortly after his passing. - Posted by: Amy (Support worker ) on: Jul 31, 2019

• Christopher, it has been now 12 years since you were taken away from us by someone you hadn't met and didn't know. Today the loss is just as intense as it was the day they informed us of your death. You are missed every day, remembered every day, and the important part you played in people's lives over your 17 years is immeasurable.

• Christopher it's been 10 years since you left us so suddenly. I wanted to put a tribute in the paper today, but was too late in submitting it. I want to say how much you are missed, how much you are thought of, and how desperate we are to have you still with us. The 10 years has flown by, and the memory of the day you were no longer with us is still as clear as it was on the day. We will always love you and you will remain with us forever.

• It will be six years in June since Chris' passing. It seems like only yesterday. We are still working towards a much greater understanding of FASD by those who profess to know it all. They don't unfortunately, and others have and will perish as a result of refusals to listen to parents and understand the type of disability they are working with. We miss you totally Christopher. Always remembered. Love Mom - Posted by: Val Surbey (Mom) on: Feb 01, 2012

• Christopher is a great loss to all of us in his FASD family. If the supports were there for people like Christopher these tragedies wouldn't happen. My love goes out to Val and Vince and Christopher's siblings. - Posted by: Renae Richards (Friend) on: Jun 15, 2005

• FASlink's (http://www.faslink.org) Chris required close supervision due to his poor judgment and his inability to avoid risky situations. However, his residential placement only allowed for daytime supervision. His parents pleaded with the agency to supervise him at night as well, as he is at highest risk during the evening hours, when he would go out alone into the community. The FASlink global family helped raise Chris over the years. He was our child too and embodies the concerns we have for our own children at home. Who will be next? - Posted by: Bruce Ritchie (Friend) on: Jun 15, 2005
