Tim & Kristi Sibus: Though I only knew him just a little bit. I came to know that Kris fully enjoyed life, what a gift. My prayers are with you. Kristi There isn't enough room to describe all the adjectives that would pay honor to this fine friend. I always looked forward to every carpet cleaning and the time we got to spend together. His energy and enthusiasm for life will never be matched by anyone I know. Love, Tim Sibus

Rodney, Mindy, Nicole, Sara & Jessica Frick: Well, what can we say about Uncle Kris. The true question is what can't we say about Uncle Kris. Uncle Kris was there for the birth of each one of the girls. He said Nicole looked like ET, he fell asleep on the floor in front of the nursery when Sara was born, (snoring like a grizzly bear) and he shared in the pizza dinner donated by Dr. Sloan when Jessica was just a few minutes old. Uncle Kris and Auntie Jennie took us to Disney World and Jessica had the first injury before leaving Arkansas, she got bit by a dog, Uncle Kris felt so bad!! Uncle Kris could make us laugh so hard!! We always knew he loved us. Auntie Jennie, Candace and Nicholas our thoughts and prayers go out to you, our hearts break for your lose. But, we know exactly what Uncle Kris is doing right now, Uncle Kris is now the center of attention in Heaven!! God knew they needed some laughter and a cook so the obvious choice was Uncle Kris!!! We know Uncle Kris will be waiting for us in Heaven, with open arms and a big hug, just like he always did. We love you Uncle Kris!!! Jennie, Candace and Nicholas, we are praying for the Lord to supply a peace that passes all understanding. We are here for you if you need anything. See you soon.

Don and Kathy Sliwinski (Sand Cars Unlimited): The party must be over because the LIFE of it is gone! Finding it hard to type this and express the way we feel...You'll never be forgotten and our thoughts and prayers are with the Frick family.

Dirk & Mary Bussing: with our condolances and deepest sympathy to the family and friends He will be missed the Bussing Family

Jessica Frick (Your Favorite niece): Hey, When I heard the news I didn't believe it. You always told us that you were our favorite uncle well to tell you the truth just between us you really are. Just the other weekedend we went and got Nicole in Florida and we went to Disney World, and it brought back so many memories of when you took us. I was only about 6 or 7, but the memories I have from that trip will last a life time, just as all the other memories I have from being with you and your family. This is a terrible loss to our whole family and all of the familys friends we will miss you terribly. Love always Jessica

The Niles Family: You don't realize how someone really impacts your life until they are gone. Kris influenced the way we kept our cars, garages, homes etc. He was a huge influence on the way I manage my business. When I had a problem I would just call Kris, he had all the answers. Around Kris there was no such thing as a bad mood with his larger than life personality. Kris we weren't done with you yet!!! You are sooo missed. Jennie and kids we love very much!!!

Sara Frick: The one thing that has always been true about Uncle Kris is that with him there were no dull moments. No matter what we were doing it was always fun with Uncle Kris. i really can not remember a time when i was around him that it wasn't fun. I will cherish all the fun times forever. Thank You Uncle Kris! Love Sara

zeeba emadi : My deepest sympathy and condolences to Jennie and the family. It is a total shock and disbeliefe. His kind face and smile is in my mind. I can not and will not forget him. He will live on in our hearts.

Peggy Fujinami & Family: Gone but not forgotten. I remember the first time I met Kris & Jennie (the fireworks booth at SMMS.) From the start I had a sense that Kris treated people, that he had just met, as though he had known them his whole life. He made that day in the "booth" fun! His greatest legacy is the beautiful family that he helped create. May God hold you in His loving embrace.

Ken and Susan Thomson: Dear Jennie, Candace and Nicholas, Hi guys it's Susan, Ken keeps writing and erasing so I thought I would be first. Now he is standing over my shoulder, so I have sent him to get some FRICKIN cheese. I just want you to know that we, along with so many others are here for you today, we will be there tomorrow if you need us, we will be there next month, we will be here for you in 5 years. I wish I was better with words, Jennie you have lost a sweetheart, Candace and Nicholas you have lost a Father, but you have something that many women and children never experience, a family of great love and strong roots. When someone talks about Kris, I do not think of chili dogs, I do not think of Glamis, I do not think of fast cars or parties, I think of your wonderful family and bond. May you hold on to that forever. Love Susan

Rev. Allen L. Biles, Sr. & My Children - Allen II (Buzzy), Steven, Christopher, Kevin & Lydia : Jenny & Kids, I am your cousin Allen, "Aunt Jeanette's" Son! My Children and I send you our deepest sympathy and most heartfelt prayers for the Spirit of Peace to be with you. I have not seen Kris in years. Other than at a couple of Funerals, it's been over 25 years. But, my childhood memories are dotted with small quips of Kris's effervescent personality. He was always "ON"! When Aunt Marlene took us swimming at Pontiac Lake in about 1970 or so, I recall an incident where Kris patiently, with humor got me to let go of my fear of the water and I swam with my head "under" the water!! LOL He reassured me, that he'd not let me drown. He made me feel good to be with him. He was so much fun - I have always loved Kris, but I don't suppose he even knew it! So to his Dear Brothers; Rodney, Randy & Kelly - I love all of you guys - Thank you for the great memories, during our growing up years - the times at Expressway Campground, and the many other "Good times" we had. I am so sorry that this has happened to Kris. And to Aunt Diane and Uncle Roger - I cannot image your deep sorrow at the loss of your dear, precious Son! I am so very sorry! I wish I could be there with all of you! I have the entire congregation of two churches here in Flint, praying for the family. Blessings of God's Light and Love be with you all! Love from: Allen Lloyd "The Kingdom of God is a Party and now that Kris is their, the Party has really begun!" Kris, Keep it going till we all join you! ;-)

Robert @ Tina Montour: Jennie, Tina and I just heard about Kris. It has been awhile since we last spent time with you and Kris when we were your neighbors in Chino Hills. Please know that our love and prayers go out to you and the children. Always know that God is with us during these hard times, he said he would never leave us or forsake us. Your Friends, Robert & Tina Montour

Mark Bingham: I will miss hearing "Hey Buddy!" from Kris, as well as, "Hot Dogs Are Good!" Kris has given me twenty years of cherished memories filled with love and laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with Jennie, Candace and Nick.

Noah Morgan (8 years old): Kris was a good man, who loved hot dogs & feed lots of people. He did lots of wheelies, and he made us Morgans laugh! I like visiting him at the Temecula Store. I will always think of him when I'm at Wash 6. I feel really bad for the loss of Kris. I will miss him alot & I will never forget him in my thoughts.

Gwenn Norton-Perry: Jennie, Candace and Nick: Words cannot express my heartfelt sympathies. Life is so very precious and each and every moment should always be lived to its fullest -- certainly a motto that Kris fulfilled. May his kind and joyful presence live through all of you each and every day. And, may you find a new sense of peace with each passing moment. Thanks for allowing me to somehow help you through your grieving and allowing you to celebrate his life and the wonderful family he raised and brought to the City of Chino Hills! May God Bless all of you and may his graces embrace Kris now and forever.

Austin Morgan: Kris was a good person and always made me laugh. I will always think about him & won't forget about the good times in Glamis. Jennie, Candace & Nick, I'm thinking of you and am very sad by what happened to Kris. P.S. - Chili Dogs are GREAT!

Adrian Jimenez: Kris was as genuine as they come, i looked forward to hanging out with nick because his dad was so fun to be around and i will never forget all the great memories. To the person who could always put a smile on my face, Kris , we will miss you.

Luis Torres: kris you were a great guy to me by giving me my 1st job! thank you for all the knowledge you gave me. its so sad to not hear about you man. you ARE a great and helping person. thanks to you i am where i am today. my thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. once again thank you kris, god bless you

George & Lillian Alexander: Wow what a shock. Why God takes the really good people too early is not easy to comprehend. Jenni, our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. Kris was a great person that touched everyone in such a positive way. From his "WE BAD" to the pool volleyball games at the Grand Weileia, he was the greatest. We will miss him a lot. May God help you and comfort your family, and remember he is in a much better place, watching over us!

Dee Nelson: It's early in the am and I can't sleep...I am here writing to you, Jennie, Candace & Nicholas, to thank you for not only being you,but for reminding me of how awesome your Dad/Kris was. Just know that you are always loved and I encourage you to explore "who" you really are and "where" you really want to be on this path in life. I believe that Kris would want only the BEST for each of you and you need to search for it and find it and grab onto it AND do it for Kris! I loved Kris, too. He was my brother-in-law. He will always remain close to everyone he "touched" while he was with us on this Earth.

Mike Hewitt: Kris's wife and children are in my prayers. I grieve with you for your loss.

roberto castro (fairway ford): my thoughts & prayers go to the family.kris was always a great customer of mine.we will miss him.

Robert, Deb and Ashley Cole: Jennie, Candice and Nick, our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this sad time. It's so hard to understand why these things happen, why our loved ones must be taken away. All I really know is that heaven has one incredible man with them now. Take comfort in all the wonderful memories of him and your family. If there is anything we can do please let us know. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Love you guys....

John Paul Torretti: My thoughts and prayers to out to everyone. Kris will be missed by all and the memories will never be forgotten. He had the amazing ability to always keep you laughing even during the hard times. Thank you Kris for everything!

Martha (you know Steve Sindelar's wife): Unbelievable!!! That was Kris and the fact that he's gone. I keep waiting for him to walk in the door. Jennie, Candace and Nick - I love you like you're my family. I never knew the influence Kris and you three had on my life until now. We will never forget Kris and we will always be family. Love you all, Martha

Randy,Robyn,Jake,Curt,Justin&Parker Mottram: How many friends do you have in life that after talking to them for just a short time, leaves you with a feeling that your really lucky to know them. Kris was a rare type of person, always brought a smile to me and my kids when we spoke, Kris truely knew how to celebrate life with friends and family. He is and always will be an example of how to treat people. The Mottram family will miss seeing him and looking forward to laugh with him.. Kris if your reading this I still have my hot dog on my sandcar now for 4 years and will keep it there forever in celebration of you.. thanks for the good times..

Jason Fizet: My wife and I would like to express our thoughts and prayors for the Frick family. Kris will be greatly missed and I will always cherish my weekly phone calls or meetings filled with a few laughs, always a new gadget trick and just being around Kris's energy. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Brian, Adrienne, Roxanne & Rilee: It's amazing to see how many people Kris touched in such a short time. He was truely an original. Our love and prayers go out to Jennie, Candice, Nick and the whole family.

Jim and Linda Weber: Kris was one of the best neighbors we ever had. He never hesitated when we needed help and was always a gracious and giving person. He had such energy and was so happy, he always had us laughing. We could look out the window most anytime and see Kris out there doing something around the house. That will also be the hardest part for everyone living on Valley View Lane - not seeing Kris outside, busy, talking to the neighbors. Jim and Kris spent so much time talking about home improvements, cars and the sand dunes. Since we have moved, Jim has really missed those times with him. But, we have 13 years of good memories that we can keep forever. Jennie, Candace and Nicholas, we can’t imagine what you are going through, but if we can do anything for you, please let us know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Jaime Reed (Dunn): Kris was such a genuinely happy and joyful person... it was infectious to be around him! My heart goes out to the Frick family...I am so sorry for your loss. An old professor once said, "Death ends a life, not a relationship," Kris' laughter and love will be in our hearts forever!

Fred and Trudy Guy: We send our condolences and sympathy. Kris was a good friend and he will be missed. He always made you feel like the most interesting person in the room, even though nobody was more charismatic and fascinating than he was himself. Best wishes to the Frick family in this difficult time.

Kim Graham (First Cousin): My Dearest Kris, I wish I could be there Tuesday to celebrate your life, as I know that there will be many wonderful stories shared of your love, amazing spirit, generosity and, most of all, your passion for life. Time and space has made some of my personal memories brief and distant, but your smile, your beautiful blue eyes and your laugh will remain imbedded in my heart, mind and soul forever. Although writing these words and saying goodbye brings me many tears, I somehow manage to smile as I imagine you approaching our dear Lord's heavenly gates, not gingerly or with intrepidation, but like a baseball player sliding home and loudly exclaiming "Wow! What a ride!" Your loving cousin, Kim

Richard Cassetta : Jennie, Candice & Nick your Dad was one of a kind. He could make you feel like one of his family even though he just met you. I know because that is how I felt when I first met your Dad years ago. Thank you for sharing him with me and all his friends.

Daniel, Joann, Ashley & Karisa Sanchez: We will miss Kris driving around the neighborhood in his corvette. You truly are a special family. Our prayers are with you.

Jeff, Derek, Boband Christy Pocornea: one of the hardest lost for our family. Chili dog will be missed not only by his family but by his friends as well. Chris was one of the best, most friendliest guys we knew and it will be hard not to see his smiling face anymore. Although he is smiling in heavan we truely miss you and best of wishes to your family thanks for being such a great fiend. LOVE Pocorenas

Terry,Shell,Jazz,Camille&Jordan Guinn: Kris, You the man, never a bad day just some better than others. I remember more than once siting at the bottom of the hill, kris had broken somthing on his car, but he still had a joke no big deal get it fixed them I can brake it again.Iwill forever remember how he whatched my girls grow into young ladys, jordan would yell chili dog. I could go on and on. You will be deeply missed,you will long be in our hearts. The Guinn's

John, Bryan, and Lisa Frame: Kris will be missed in the Wienerschnitzel Family - Our thoughts and prayers are with you all... God Bless

Rudy Rivas: Kris it was a pleasure to have met you! Such a happy and sincere person. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jennie, Candice and Nick and the rest of the Frick Family.

Keith, Angel, Chase & Hayden Kanzel (Wash 6/Morgan's San Diego Crew): Jennie, Candace and Nick, while we are all feeling the intense pain of the loss of a great husband, father and friend, it is hard to think of Kris and not feel the warmth of his presence as an individual who contributed greatly to all our lives. While my family has only come to know Kris and your wonderful family over the past few years camping in the dunes, we are united in our sense of loss but more so in our sense of gratitude for having come to know such a warm, loving, generous spirit. The loss of Kris has touched us all deeply but not nearly so much as what we have gained for having known such a fantastic person. As time goes on and the sting of loss begins to subside let us all remember that Kris is with us whenever we remember his laughter his smile and his unlimited love for all those around him. A poem for Kris: “Memory can tell us only what we were, ?In company with those we loved; ?It cannot help us find out what each of us, ?alone, must now become. ?Yet, no person is really alone; ?Those who live no more still echo ?Within our thoughts and words, ?And what they did has become woven into what we are.” " He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him"

"Auntie Louise": That is what I would always hear when I answered a phone call from Kris followed by "It's your favorite nephew, and it's not Rodney"! Followed by that great laugh that he had. I was just reading and crying about all the wonderful things people are saying about you and the one common thread is that you cared and loved and touched so many people. What a legacy to leave behind and what more could anyone ever expect from a person...you covered it all. I am sure that your meeting with God was quite interesting but no doubt he gave you a well done my faithful servant. Your whole family is having a really hard time with this because it was so unexpected, but I think your Uncle Denny (who by the way those of you who do not know, Kris was reffered to as mini-Denny)is having a real hard time with this. I know that you and he had a very strong bond and he never took it for granted. He is so proud of all your accomplishments, your toys, your work ethics, but most of all he is most impressed at how you loved and nurtured your family. Everyone should be so lucky as to have a KRIS in their family. Jennie, Candace & Nick I cannot even phathom your loss. Just reflect on all the wonderful memories, and I know you have a lot of them, and know how much he dearly love each and every one of you. He was so proud and took every chance he could to brag on you. The world is saddened by loosing such a loving, caring person but heaven will never be the same quiet place! I only hope he is there to meet me when I am called home. Thank you for making our lives so rich.

Jeff Derek Bob and Christy Pocorena:

Jeff Derek Bob Christy Pocorena: one of the hardest lost for our family. Chili dog will be missed not only by his family but by his friends as well. Chris was one of the best, most friendliest guys we knew and it will be hard not to see his smiling face anymore. Although he is smiling in heavan we truely miss you and best of wishes to your family. you where the heart and soul of everone around you and your shoes will never be filled. Thanks for being such a great fiend. RIP LOVE Pocorenas

Sam Shackelford ( Rancho Performance ): I only knew him as a customer but no matter what kind of a day it was he was always in a great mood. I will miss hearing his voice.

Jim & Cindee Smith: Wow, we are still stunned. We are so sorry Jennie. We had such a fun time at NASCAR it was great to meet. Kris lite up the dance floor, I'll never forget that night. I enjoyed playing music and watching the two of you dance, then the girls joined in and all that whisling. Fun Fun.. I also will never forget, taking all those Chil-dogs around in the wagon and passing them out(last year) What I do remember most is how much Kris enjoyed everything. He always got the group going. We will miss him at the race in Sept, but I know he will be dancing with us every night and I'll bring the Chili dogs....

Aunt Joyce : Jenny and Children how sad I was to hear of the death of my dear nephew Kris. I have wonderful memories of Kris as a young boy and the beautiful smile and free spirit he always had. He always kept everyone laughing at family gatherings. Although in your adult life we didn't have a lot of time together because of distance, but the love in my heart was always there with you. Although you are gone from sight your smile will always stay with me. Jenny, just know my prayers will be with you, Nickolas, and Candance. I wish I could be there with you, but will be there in spirit. Love, Aunt Joyce

Kim, Bill, Ryan & Breana Schoenborn: This past weekend the Wash 6 Crew had one of the greatest weekends at Glamis we have ever had. The dune rides were perfect, the buffet filling and breakfast just as filling. We could not ask for more. But to lose our friend and fellow duner we are at a loss for words. We will miss him dearly, especially his wonderful personality and smile, but we'll never forget. He is definately going to brighten things up in heaven as he did in camp. Jenny, Candace and Nick, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you .

michaelbarrows@hotmail.com: Kris has accomplished so much in such a short time, it truely remarkable that he has left such a legacy. I worked for Kris only a short while, but the impact he's made on my life will last a lifetime. Jenny I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.

: Dan & Sue Hampton: Kris, you were like the child in all of us. You lived life to the fullest, and went out doing what you loved. You will be in our Hearts forever. Jennie, Candace & Nick, we can't begin to express our sorrow. Kris was a great person who had a way of making everyone feel special. We'll always remember this past weekend at Glamis and what a great time we had. Kris will truly be missed by all.

Barbara Brandon-Wienerschnitzel Fresno: We were all very sad to hear of Kris's passing.Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Kris's family. We will never forget Kris and the fun and enthusiasm he brought to us here in Fresno when he came here and trained us all on the Wedge registers.He was a truly special person!

Rudy & Cindy Hernandez: The weekend of April the 8th was one of the best Glamis trips we have ever had. Ten sandrails flying across the perfect dunes-no 'tow strap racing' required, friends laughing and loving together. Kris, as usual, at the center. He organized our Saturday night Mexican potluck and cooked breakfast for everyone with the leftovers and eggs the next morning. When it was time to be homeward bound,no one imagined it was our last goodbye. In his last moments,he was surrounded by people who truley loved him. I wonder if there is any language that provides a person with the right words to express being consumed by grief. Our hearts are broken, we're full of anger and sorrow. We desperatley need a time machine so we can go back and change the unacceptable. We need to wake up from the nightmare. All true,but so inadequate. And to tell you that Kris was a special person doesn't scratch the surface. He had a special spark that just exploded into enthusiasm. Every moment was lived to the fullest. Work for him was play and play was an adventure.And at play he often took us along for a wild uproarious ride. There will never be another like him and we are honored to have been in his circle of loving friends. All the children will dearly miss their Chili Dog. Jennie,Candice and Nick, you have our uncondional love. You can count on us for anything. God bless you. PS hot dogs are good!

Randy Frick: I can't express the loss of my dear and loving brother Kris he was such a special part in my heart. He touched my life with so much love and laughter. My love for him is unmeasurable. It's hard for me to understand why he had to leave us, with so much love and joy it's obvious God needed that big smile and that so special spirit in heaven. My life will never be the same. My heart is so full of pain. In my younger years Kris was my bud. We would play cars on the floor for hours and hours. I've so missed the closeness with him. I've longed for the happiness we used to share. The miles and the distance between us have been so hard. Not being able to share the joy and the happiness in his passions and family and friends. I've been so blessed to have a brother with so much love in his heart and to have touched the people that have been blessed to have known, Kris Frick. I am so proud of the husband and father he became the joy in his voice when he talked of his son Nicholas or his beautiful daughter Candace. He was so proud. I am also so thankful for his wife Jenny. Kris' whole world was Jenny, his love of his life. His children gave Kris so much pride. Thank you Kris, I can't imagine not hearing your voice or your laughter. I will hold your memories, your love, forever. I am sorry I couldn't hold you or kiss you goodbye. I will think of you everyday and I'll pray to you every night. God Bless You. I love you with all my heart. I love you, Randy.

Bud and Toni Fry: Hi Jennie: Toni and were thinking that we just met your family a few short years ago. So why do we feel we’ve lost one of our closest friends. Kris was like that. If you met him more than once you became a friend and a huge fan. His smile lit up the room. There are a lot of adjectives to describe Kris. Quiet, shy and reserved are not among them. I remember talking to Kris at the lake this past year. He was in his boat talking when he bent over to pick something up. I said, “Hey Kris. When you bend over like that, you’re asking a lot of those shorts.” He looked up with that infectious grin of his and said, “Buddy, you ain’t kidding”. Kris laughed till my side hurt. He was unflappable. We should all take a page from Kris’s book on life. I read a story a little while ago about a pastor who had just taken over for a retiring minister. He had been at his new post only a week when one of his parishioners died. At the service, he invited anyone who wanted to say a kind word about the deceased to step forward and take the mike. He waited nearly 5 minutes but no one stepped up to the podium. He finally stepped back up and said, “Surly someone must have something kind to say of old Bill.” But there was only silence. A voice was finally heard from the back of the church, “Well, his brother was worse.” When we gather to celebrate Kris’s life Tuesday, if you want the party to go on forever, just offer the mike to anyone who wants to say a kind word. The author of that story asks, “What do we want folks to say about us when we pass on?” Sit down and write your own epitaph, he urges, then live your life backwards to accomplish the words. It’s like Kris did that very thing as soon as he could write. Kris was obviously an incredible friend to everyone he knew. He taught us not to take ourselves too seriously, and challenged us to take a bite out of life everyday. But Toni and I will always remember Kris most for the special way he beamed when he spoke of you, Candace and Nick. It was easy to see that nothing meant more to Kris than his family. We should all take that page from “Kris’s book."

Tom and Karen Emge (Chino Valley Muffler): Jennie, Candace and Nick, We are so sorry to hear the news. Kris was the happiest go luck guy We've ever met. His drive, ambition and sense of humor are unmatched by anyone. I always loved to hear his voice when I answered the phone....."chili dog" .....Our sincere condolances ..... Tom

Dee and Richard Lopez(Lori's sister): kris was a very caring,funny guy he always made us laugh!We will miss him!Our prayers go out to the frick family.

THE ROBERTSONS (Dave, Rae, Tanya & Kyle):: We will never forget the way he loved us, his “step-family”. He could light up anyplace - indoors or outdoors. His voice boomed. His laugh was absolutely infectious. His smile was brighter than bright. His sparkly eyes could make the brightest star look dim. He was Kris. Kris Frick. Frick’n Frick (“Hey, don’t use my name like that”, he would laugh & say!). Chili Dog, TCB. He was compassionate & generous. He was FUNNY and he was just plain OUTRAGEOUS. He was our dear Friend and “Step-Dad”. Most importantly, he was loved by all who knew him. We will NEVER forget him because he’s woven into our very hearts & souls. He will be there to embrace us in the Kingdom of Heaven. To our dear friends, Jenny, Candace & Nick, YOU were what Kris cherished the most. Above all his toys, businesses and success, YOU were what he loved the most. YOU are the true definition of who Kris was. Kris is IN you. He was so proud of YOU. YOU are his empire & legacy. We can’t wait to get there – to put our arms around you – to tell you how very much we love you. We shared with our Pastor how hard it was to be here, when you are there in so much pain & sorrow. He said to remember prayer knows no distance. In faith we are holding you up in prayer. We pray for courage & strength for you in the days ahead and for the peace that surpasses all understanding. We love you always & forever, Your Albuquerque New Mexico “Step-Family”.

Garry, Bridget & Nathan: We were very lucky to have met Kris. There is so much to say about him. He made us feel like we've known each other for years on our first camping trip. "Hey Buddy". Kris just recently took our son, Nathan(3), on his first dune ride. He will never be forgotten. My the lake be flat calm and miles of dunes for you, Godspeed, Chilidog

Arturo Sandoval: What words can we use to ease the great pain that Kris's family feel? Why was Kris called back home at such a young age? "How is everything, how are you doing? where the words that Kris would ask me every time he would stop by at a new store opening? Today I have a feeling that Kris is doing fine, and that his friendly and warm smile in now looking down at us and hoping that we all are doing fine.

Eric Martin: Never had the pleasure of meeting you, but remembered seeing your car in Glamis which brought a smile to my girlfriend and I face. My prayers are with you and your family. Rip.

Kristyn Humphrey: I know most of you are friends turned family (you know what I mean, who could know the man whithout practically turning into his family, right?)of Kris and knew him as "Chili Dog" but I am his cousin and had in my lifetime given him another name "Little Denny" (after my father). It wasn't something I would have called him in person but the resemblence of character was remarkable. My dad has always been a jokester/trickster laughing all along the way and has had a somewhat unhealthy attachment to gadgets. In many ways I think Kris mirrored these traits and actually (dare I say it) surpassed them with his love of the bigger/bolder toys! Someone else described him as fast and furious and I think that says it quite well. Even though our families were separated by miles he would call often and sometimes I'd answer the phone and talk to him (letting him believe he was talking to my mom until eventually he laughed when he figured it out). Then I got married and it never failed, every time I'd talk to him he'd ask, "So when are you gonna have some babies?" I was 19! I'm still not sure whether he was serious then or just trying to bring a silly smile to my face but either way it worked. When my husband finally met him, Kris of course repeatedly invited us to visit him in California. I am just sorry that we didn't and that he never got the chance to meet my boys, my new family. That I do regret. For his family I am without words to express my sincere and heartfelt sorrow. I am just glad that without a doubt Kris has through his love and laughter built a strong foundation of friends for you to lean on in this time of grieving and healing. What a wonderful man, husband, father, friend. Thanks Kris, for just being you!

Sharon and Albert Jaramillo: Our Prayers go out to you Jenny, Candice and Nick. You are all so blessed to have had such a good father and husband. He will always be looking over you in all you continue to do in your life. He loves you so much. We believe that Kris has had a good life and now it is his time to shine in heaven.

Julio Lopez: Kris- even though I only met you a few times, your were a fun person to be around with. Sorry to have you gone you will missed life is hard to understand sometimes. Rest in piece friend, Julio

Julio Lopez: Kris- even though I only met you a few times, your were a fun person to be around with. Sorry to have you gone you will missed life is hard to understand sometimes. Rest in piece friend, Julio

Steve Wright & Familiy: Are condolences rest in piece Kris.

John,Dee,Kathryn&Rachel Nelson: 4/14/06 - We just want to say that Kris will be greatly missed! We loved him so very much and will miss his laugh and his joking around and his great cooking! There will always be a hole in our family parties, but we know that he is in heaven ~ probably cooking for the Lord! God Bless you Auntie Jennie and Candace and Nicholas! With all our love ~ "The Nelsons" (see you on Tuesday)

James and Tracy Rulison: We met Kris through the Blyzka family and we were shocked and saddened by your loss. We will be praying for you and your family this Easter weekend. Best regards, Rulison family.

Wayne Lam: It is so hard to believe that Kris is gone, he was a friend to all and everyone who ever knew him will miss him dearly. You have our deepest sympathy. Jennie, If I can do anything to help please let me know, Wayne

julian and sue galan: our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Randy Frick (nephew) & Lindsey Costa: What can we say about the loss of an Uncle that we never had the chance to realy get to know. My Dad Randy has told me so many great stories about how much fun Kris is and how we need to go out and visit. We made plans to go out there in June about 3 months ago, We were so excited to finally go see Uncle Kris. We could not beleive the news about what happened. We can not express how sorry we are. God needed a great guy and he has one now. We Love You Kris. If anybody needs anything please ask.

The Coto Family: May God be with you through your sorrow and may faith in him guide you and give you strength today and hope for tomorrow. Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Rudy, Deborah, Marlene and Caroline Coto

oonagh kennedy: it just does not seem real.jennie candace nick and kelly and all thr frick family you are all in my thoughts and prayers every day. kris was more then just a client of mine he was a good friend someone who i looked for word to seeing and talking with. he allways talked about his family and how much he loved you all very much.he would always make me laugh at anything mostly myself. he loved life and anyone that new kris loved him . thank you kris for the time that i got to no you YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, AND REMEMBER CHILLI DOGS ARE GOOD

Mel Bakuy & Family: Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Frick family. He was a dear friend and a very nice person. May he sleep in peace. I will never forget him.

Bill and Rita ("mom") Richard: We are so glad that our lives were touched by Kris. He was like a son to us. He was such a good friend to our son, Paul, even being his best man. We send our condolences to you Jennie, Candace, Nicolas and the entire Family. With much love Bill and Rita.

Elizabeth Ryan (Gregg's Mom): Jennie, Candace, Nicholas and your whole family: God bless you and give you strength in this very difficult time.I am so sorry for all of you and for all who knew and loved Kris.

Uncle Denny: It's taken four days for me to be able to sit down and put words to my thoughts. Unfortunately, Auntie Louise beat me to the punch and shared a lot my feelings. This has been the most difficult thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. Kris, I know that you always looked up to me and some of my accomplishments, but I want you to know, that your accomplishments far exceeded anything that I ever did. I always enjoyed telling my friends about my nephew in California and bragging about all of his successes and how smart he was. This is a very difficult time in my life but I am somewhat at peace because I can't help thinking that you did more in 44 years than most people do in a lifetime. You were fearless, proud, loving, caring, smart, determined, competitive, funny, congenial, wheeler-dealer, and very successful and I am proud to say that I'm your Uncle. Candace and Nicholas were very fortunate to have a Father that cared about them as much as you, and everytime we talked, you always had to tell me about them and what was happening in their lives. There will never be a more proud Father than Kris. He also was very much in love with "his Jennie", who walked beside him every step of the way in work or play. I could go on and talk about Kris and what a great guy he was, but I think it's pretty obvious we all have expressed that. Let me just say that I will miss the phone calls, the e-mails, and most of all the laughter. Kris I love you and I can't wait to have a chili dog in heaven with you! YOUR PROUD "UNCLE DENNY"!

Pam Morton (1st Cousin): Kris: Those Big blue eyes,big dimples,and beautiful smile,and oh that laughed. child hood memeories some of the best, as we got older and our family's moved, sadly we lost touch.I hate how we all have somehow let this world take over and kept us (family) apart. No one will ever be able to take your place here, your shoes are just to big to fill.Save me a spot up there will yeah! I'm jelious you got to go first. To Jennie and kids I am truly sorry for your great loss, as I remember my cousin he must have been the best husband and father. I'm sorry we ahve not had the chance to meet, but I hope this doesn't stop it from happening,We could remember Kris together and catch up with what we have already lost. I am sorry I cannot be there at this time but I pray God's comfort over you & the kids in these days to come. With Love God Bless you.

Mom: In loving memory of my #3 (favorite son). You wre the light of my life and my best friend. We will miss you Kris Frick but we all take comfort in knowing we will be together again. Kelly said ,well Mom, Kris's back doesn't hurt anymore. And Papi says who's going to help us buy cars, our wheeler and dealer is gone? I'll probably get terrible nursing when I do my other knee, because you won't be there to bring Chili Dogs to the nursing staff. I have so many wonderful memories, and I take comfort in knowing, you lived your life to the fullest, and you left us doing something you loved. We will all take care of Jennie,Candace,and Nicholas for you now. I will always love and miss you. Mom

Dana Haines (niece): You and your family, aunty Jenny, will always be in my prayers. We were here for you this week in you time of need and we always will. I speak for myself. Let us never forget Uncle Kris and his great cooking. Parties will never be the same. Just remember i am praying for you, Autie Jenny, Candace, and Nicholas.

Auntie Louise & Uncle Denny: FOR THE FAMILY - THE BROKEN CHAIN We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, THE CHAIN WILL LINK AGAIN.

Ron Horvath- neighbor: Ten reasons I liked and admired Kris: 1. He bolstered my faith that in America a man of humble beginnings can still become successful if he works hard enough. 2. He instilled a work ethic in his children- This gift is truly priceless. 3. His love and devotion to Jennie. I especially enjoyed when he would walk over to let me in on what his next "special surprise" for her would be. 4. His laugh, His smile 5. For never having to second guess his words or actions. With Kris WYSIWYG. 6. For the fact he liked the nickname my youngest daughter gave him 13 years ago- "The Wiener Dude". 7. For giving us a real sense of neighborhood. His parties brought the whole neighborhood together. 8. From my perfect vantage point from across the street, I got to enjoy watching Kris enjoy life. 9. For getting rid of Barney and Bert. Roxie is a much better choice. 10. For being a good friend and neighbor It will be a long time before I hear a voice coming from Kris' garage and not look up expecting to still see him there. We will all miss you Kris. We will try to honor your memory by being there for Jennie, Candace and Nick in any way we can.

Janese, Jennie and Jared Bushaw: Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared beneath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance The Dance Garth Brooks

Albuquerque Wienerschnitzels:

Albuquerque Wienerschnitzels: Words cannot express our condolences to beautiful Jennie and her beautiful family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers!!

Derek and Christee Witt: We are praying for you during this most difficult time and hope you feel Gods prescence. What a great man and someone to always look up to. My heart hurts for you, Jennie, Candace, and Nick.

Phil , Maria , Nick, Stephanie, Patrick and Joseph Moesser: Our Love and Prayers are with you. May the Lord give you peace to be able to trust in him and accept his master plan. We are trully blessed to have met him. He loved life and life loves him.

Wayne Dial: My payers and thoughts be with you and your family during this time. I will cherish the times spent with Kris and you the past years. You were and always will be very special friends. Life is a journey and Kris was always and example to to all to enjoy each moment. God Bless

Glenda Oden: My family and I are friends to Rod and Mindy. We would like to send our condolences to all of Kris's family and let all of you know we are praying for your strength. Love, Glenda Oden, Rachel Hardin, and David & Terri Oden and family.

Chris and Gloria Sneed: So sorry to hear of your loss. We never met Kris, but saw him and his buggy out in the dunes often. Our condolences.

Grandma Dardy: This is Grandma Dardy, that is what Kris always called me. He couldn't pronounce his "H's" when he was little so he lovingly named me Grandma Dardy. Everytime I would get mail it would be addressed to Grandma Dardy even after I married and my name changed to Eddy he still called me Grandma Dardy. Another thing I remember about Kris when he and his brothers would come for an overnight stay, Kris would tell his brothers to just take a small helping to taste because if they didn't like it, his Grandpa would make him eat it all. He always told me that I made him fat because I taught him to eat sour cream on his baked potatoes. The only sense I can make out of this is that God has a BIG project and he looked around and said "Kris is the man for the job". He will handle it and get it done right. John (my husband) said that Kris always made him feel welcome in the family and he remembers at Kelly & Jay's wedding how Kris danced and danced and he said "it wasn't over until the fat man quiet dancing". I left a message with one of his cousins and started getting calls from all of relatives on the Hardy side. They are all very saddened by this tragic loss. Kris you were so special to me and there will never be another "KRIS"!

David & Lida Fried & Family: A great person; a great role model; a great friend; a great business partner. We will all miss you. Our prayers are with the entire family.

Ken & Ann Miller: Our Prayers are with the family

Steve and Beth Kaback:

Steve & Beth Kaback: Hey, Buddy! Over the past 20 years or so, I've always admired you, the things you've accomplished, bigger than life, always smiling. You were truly loved by many including us and we'll miss you very much. Our deepest condolences to Jennie, Candace, Nicholas and the entire Frick family. You will always be in my thoughts and in our prayers.

Aunt Jeanette & Uncle Norm: Our handsome, loving, and witty nephew, Kris, gone! When Aunt Joyce called me at 12:00 midnight of the day you died, I was so stunned. Too stunned to believe the words that she told me. Oh My God! It can't be true was all I could think. So many years have passed by and we could not be near to enjoy you as an adult and enjoy you the way your close family and friends have been so blessed to be near you. The fond memories of you when you were younger will never fade from me. I remember when you were born and the happy years of your childhood with your brothers. I will always remember your infectious laughter, your beautiful smile, and loving nature. I know you were a wonderful husband to Jenny and a great and fun father to your children. What a legacy you leave behind setting the example of having a close relationship with your family and being a 'true' friend to your many friends. You may be gone from us in the physical form but you will never be gone from our hearts and memories. I know when our loving Father welcomed you into His kingdom, standing in line to welcome you were your Grandpa Frick and Grandpa Hardy,and other family members and friends who have gone before you. To dear Jenny and Candace & Nicholas we extend our deepest sympathy in your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and have been since we first heard the sad news. And to your father,(my dear brother) Rog, and mother Diane our heartfelt sympathy to both of you. Losing your child is one of the greatest losses a person has to bear in their life. It has happened too often in our family, so there are many who embrace you and know the pain because they, too, have walked that path. May God bless each of you with increased strength to help you through these difficult days now and in the days to come and may you turn to Him in your hour of need.

Scott & Teresa Spellum : Our deepest sympathy to Kris's family. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.

Katie, Shay and Cory: We have deeply felt the loss of Kris. Jennie, Nicholas and Candance, you have constantly been in our thoughts and prayers. We have many fond memories of Kris pulling up in front of our house to check on us, and just to give his happy hello, as only he could give. Kris was always so full of life, and now his life lives on in every one of the thousands of people he has touched.

Aunt Jeanette & Uncle Norm: Our deepest sympathy to Kris's brothers Rodney, Randy, and Kelly. Losing a sibling is one of the greatest sorrows and leaves such a void in your life. You are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to share your lives together with Kris, experiencing the joy of adulthood as you each married, the excitement of personal accomplishments, sharing in the fun of becoming parents, and watching each other's children grow, and being there to watch them achieve their goals and accomplishments. I believe God gave us a memory to enable us to store away all the wonderful experiences and fun times we enjoy with our loved ones, so we may call upon that memory bank to help us endure the pain and 'void' in our lives when our loved ones pass on. As we think back at the 'fun' and 'happy' times we shared with them it takes away the heaviness in our hearts so we can let the light of the Lord shine through us so we can share those memories with others who were not fortunate enough to have known our loved one. And Wow! What great memories you must have to share with others of all the exciting and fun times you shared with Kris! I pray that the memory of Kris's laughter and big smile will wipe away each tear and replace it with a smile We are so sorry for the loss of your dear brother, Kris. We send you and your families our love and deepest sympathy. May God bless you with His abiding love.

Kris, Kris, KRIS!

You lived like there was no tomorrow

Well, tomorrow is here and you're not

At least, not your physical self

We will hear you in your son's joyful laughter

We will see you in your daughter's beautiful eyes

We will feel you with your wife's loving generosity

Go with God my friend

And be with us forever

Jonathan Davy : My thoughts and prayers are with the Frick family..MR.Frick always knew how to make me laugh..The guy was hilarious,wise,and just a awesome guy all around..I'll miss u buddy

Liz Rivas: if Kris installed anything in my mind: he made sure i would always remember that "HOT DOGS ARE GOOOOD!" i will never forget that everything ended in that note. birthday cards, text messages, voicemail, the list could go on! my tears can NOT compare to the way you must feel. but then i realize, he*s watching over us. i can feel his presense in the people that love you and are around you. like i previously told Candace: you know we are all here for you. but NEVER forget that your Dad is still going to be the ONLY one waking you up every morning. helping you get by each day. it*s good to know who your own angel is. and i*m glad your Dad is just that. an ANGEL.

Lorenz: Kris, you will be greatly missed. Life is such a mystery......"Turn the Page......"

Crystal Schoenfelder: I am Kris's cousin ( Joyce's daughter ) I will always remember when we all got to together at Gram & Gramp's house in Michigan, you could always pick his smiling face out in the crowd. He was such a beautiful child and loved everyone as much as we loved him. We will miss him terribly but know we will see him again. Jennie,Candace & Nickolas you will be in my daily prayers.

Ken and Susan Thomson, continued: Dear, Jennie, Candayce and Nicolas, We knew your Kris a little and we have an emptiness in our hearts now that he is gone. This emptiness hurts. He touched all of us. He gave to each of us. He gave his zest, his enthusiasm, his happy, "cup floweth over" energy. He gave each of us memories, that when remembered are done so with smile on our faces and in our hearts. Kris loved... he loved everything...... I remember the intensity in his voice as he described having to clean some tile grout on the floor of a store under a counter with a toothbrush. He loved doing it, he loved it when it was clean. I believe he approached every facet of his life with this unbridled enthusiasm and by God it was wonderful. When Kris hugged you, you knew it. When Kris laughed, I couldn't help but laugh. When I had one of his Bloody Ceasar's, it was the best. When Kris liked something,(a very common experience), we know how bitchin' it was. Writing this, thinking of Kris at Lake Mead, at Lake Powell, hosting a party or helping someone else with theirs, I smile. Knowing he is gone, well, that just sucks. Generous with everyone, committed to his family and friends he left us far to soon. We stand with you today and all the tomorrows. Love, Ken and Susan

Fred &Shannon Smith: Kris was not only the life of the party--he was the party. He was having fun at whatever he did. I can remember him dancing until he was dripping wet, and that is exactly what he was doing the last time I saw him. I am going to miss him. Our deepest regrets go out to Jenny and the kids. We love you guys. If there is anything we can do please let us know. Fred, Shannon, Bret, and Bryce

Cousin Sandy (Frick) Haner: Unfortunately I did not get to share in Kris's life as an adult but, my the memories of him as a child are of him smiling and happy. He was always funny as it sounds like he was as an adult. Aunt Diane used to take me over to their house with them when I was little and I got to experience what it would be like to have brothers. I have so many good memories of Aunt Diane, Rodney, Randy and Kris. I'm so sorry for Jennie, Candace and Nick. I am 2 years younger than Kris and it is too young to be taken from your family. Everyone is telling them to relish the memories and that's what will sustain them through this horrific loss. Please know that God is with you, Matthew 28:20. Kris, what a beautiful wife, daughter and son you have. You were so blessed!! You will be greatly missed!!! So sorry I can't be there for the service. Love, Cousin Sandy

Cousin Sandy (Frick) Haner Again!!: Sorry, I forgot to mention Kelly. I have fond memories of him too!!

Christine Haines(sister-in-law):

Chuck & Del Gebhart: We always enjoyed a visit with Kris and Jennie and the ready smile he gave.The laughter in his voice was infectious and will be deeply missed by all. Love and kisses.

Joel & Irene: Nieghbors in the down the hill: Dear Frick Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss. Our sincere condolences to a family who has lost a loving husband and caring father.

Lowry and Connie Hughes: May memories of happier times give you comfort. You have been in our thoughts and we send our deepest sympathy.

Grace Burgess (Todd & Sandy's old neighbor): I'm so glad to have known Kris. My family and I were welcomed with open arms by Kris on group trips to the river or simply hanging out at Todd and Sandy's house. I recently saw him at Sandy's 40th birthday party and was thrilled to see him so healthy and happy. He and Jenny were gleaming. I'm so glad to have seen him and had a chance to talk with him recently. God bless you Kris!

Russ LaPierre: Anybody who knew you could count on you to be a friend when they needed one. Anybody! What a great legacy to leave. I’ll miss you.

Ron and Melody Lazaro : This neighborhood of ours would not have been the same without Kris. He was always ready to lend a helping hand and give creative advice to problems around the house. Even with the hectic pace in life he always had the time for a hearty "hello." We will miss his bright personality and loud laughter that echoed throughout the cul-de-sac during the holidays and family parties. Jenny, Candace, and Nicholas we are just a door away if you need us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Wienersnitzel Crew store #326: We worked for Kris for a long time until our store switch owners.He was a very nice person to everyone and we learned many things by working with him.We will always remember when he use to come to the store and he would always be playing that song "Hey baby Que Paso" we would always laugh!!!We will always remember him as a good person and will live in our hearts forever!!! thank you kris we miss you!!

Uncle Ron & Aunt Grace: When I was in the Army and stationed in Alaska I recieved a tape from Kris singing "Jerama Was A Bullfrog" & "Proud Mary" He was about 12 or 13 years old at the time...Kris was the best kid singer I ever heard:>) He sure put his whole self into those songs...I still have the tape and will cherish it forever! He was about 12 or 13 years old...Our prayers go out to Jenny, Nickolas, Candace and his family.

MR. & MRS. CHELSEA DYKIER: KRIS WAS ALWAYS A HAPPY GO LUCKY PERSON. WE WILL SURELY MISS HIS SMILE AND GENEROSITY HE SHARED WITH US ALL. HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US AND HASN'T LEFT OUR HEARTS.

Marsha Arsenian: Dear Frick Family: While you may not remember me (Jennie) as I met you and Kris only once at our fabulous Vegas Hold Em Trip to Lake Las Vegas with our friends Kathy and Art Kazarian,(I was so thrilled to be invited) I remember you and Kris with very fond memories and send my deepest condolences for yourloss. I cannot comprehend this happening and my heart aches for you all. He was truly a vibrant and kind spirit and a joy to be around. My goodness, I was just asking Steve how you all were doing and sent my best wishes, of course. God bless his soul and ease your pain somehow with the many beautiful memories you hold dear. God, please also place his gentle and infectious spirit close to those beautiful children and ease their pain. With love and hugs always, Marsha

Luis Zamudio and family (kelly's friend): You TCB and lived life to the fullest...Family, Friends and Fun.Thanks for the warm embrace you always had for me & my family.We will miss you. Love and prayers to all the Frick family.

Khalid Sayed Store # 025: My deepest sympathy,thoughts and prayers goes to entire Frick family. God bless Kris soul and give him the place in the HEAVEN.

Ken and Marjorie Hironimus: Jennie, our prayers are with you and your family. It is times like these, that we all take stock of our lives, giving thanks to those who have contributed to our lives. Kris made such a positive impression on the both of us. He was genuine and real. He was respected by his peers and loved by his employees. We will always remember him with laughter. It was clear by the way that the two of you would look at each other, how much you both loved and respected the other. We share in your loss and feel blessed with the gift of meeting you both.

Fred and Donna Smith: The times we have had with Kris and Jennie will always be a very special treasured time we hold dear to our hearts. Kris always made us feel so special by his kind words and loving actions.He has left this world way to soon, we really needed his big heart here. God knew better, but he will still be missed so much.When they say the "GOOD DIE YOUNG", I believe that is a compliment to Kris,because that is so true in his case! Our love always to Jennie, Candace and Nicholas. Our deepest sympathies go out to all the friends and family of a really great guy. Kris Frick

Josue & Abner Aguilera stepbrothers: Our life here in the U.S. will never be the same. We will never forget how Kris welcomed us with open arms when we arrived on Dec. 23rd 1999. he was talking to us like we could understand what he was saying! We will be eternally grateful for his supprt. Mom and Papi did not make enough money, at the time, so Mom asked Kris and Jennie if they could help. Mom said Kris came to the lawyer with his big pile of taxes and Jennie graciously got a copy of her birth certicate for immigration. We hope we made him proud of us. Look at us now we can read and write English. Recently we bought some new tires for our car, and the tire store scratched our rims. We tried to stand up for our selves like Kris would want us too, but we were getting no where. So we called our big brother and he got it handled for us. We will always love you and we will always miss you. Jennie,Candace, and Nicholas if ther is anything we can ever do we hope you know we wil be there. We love you all. Josue and Abner

Papi: Kris, I will never forgot how you welcomed me into your family. You said welcome to the happy family. And after I married your Mother, you will never know how good you have made me feel, because you and your brothers,have always called Papi.That is something special for me because that is Daddy in spanish. I never felt so welcomed in this country like I did after I met you and Jennie. I think your Aunt Louise is right,your were so special because you wre born on Christmas and died on Easter. And I will never forget how I tried to take you out for dinner and you wouldn't let me pay, you said I wasn't fast enough. I love you with all my heart and you will always be a part of my life. Papi

Mel Frick II, Heather Uballe & Heidi McNamee (1st Cousins) & Families: Although we didn't get to share in Kris' life as much as we of loved to - Kris made a huge impact on our family. During the loss of our father Kris showed up and opened his arms to each of us as if no time had passed. He made sure we all had smiles and although the time was so tough for us, he brought laughter. Boy, did he love our dad and our dad loved him! Our father was so proud of what kind of man Kris became and the beautiful wife & family he raised. Your family is in ALL of our hearts and prayers and knowing now our dad has someone in Heaven that will keep in smiling and waiting for the rest of us, thanks Kris!! We love you!!

Daryll & Brenda Thomann: Kris - We will miss your smile and friendship.

Natali Suiter: I do not know where to begin. Carl said a few words without me present and it was very obvious (he did not use spellcheck) or the Natali grammar check :) What are the odds of not planning to be in Glamis the same weekend and being yet only a few camps away. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you all, Jennie, Nick and Candance. Carl and I are blessed to have been able to see him and have that happy memory with us, all I keep remembering is the fact that he was pissed there were no "beans" :) Carl could not be truthfull enough when he talks about Kris and the importance of family to him. Jennie, you and Kris have the two most repectable kids I have ever met and have a family bond that is envyed among us all. He was a wonderful person who touched many lives and always, always, put a smile on your face and made you feel welcome in his home. He will be missed very much. God bless you all.

Each day that i look at my son Jason I see alot of kris, jason looks alot like him. And has his smile. My prayers are with Diane, Randy, Rodney and kelly. And Kris"s wife and children .

Maya Donahue:

Dana Haines(niece)continued: I just realized the last time i wrote in here, i forgot so much. But how can you say so much about my uncle kris? The list would go on and on and on... I mean, he was giving, sweet, caring, loving, and lots more! If I would list them all it would go on forever and ever. Everyone who knows him or has just seen a glimpse of hios face are going through so much during this time. But, sometimes things happen to the people we love when we least expect it but there's nothing we can do about it. But we get through it with the help of our family and friends. My family and I have been here for you this week, auntie Jenny, Candace, and Nicholas, and we will be there for you forever.:)

Matt, Shanna, Isaac and Alyson Hernandez: We will miss Kris dearly; his energy, his love for life, his chocolate chip pancakes, his kindness, his laughter, his generousity, his ability to make you feel like you're the most important person around, and of course his chili dogs. He was "Uncle Chili Dog" to Isaac and Alyson and a great friend to us. Jennie, Candace, Nick and family - our thoughts are with you.

Tammy Torretti-Forsythe (1st Cousin): My thoughts and prayers have been with all of the enire family and friends of Kris, since this tragic accident. As we all feel, it really is unbelievable. I will miss Kris very much. I wish we could have continued a close relationship as adults as I know the great fun we have always had when we were together.He truly is the most remarkable person. Although I am saddend as I look at the pictures of him, they also bring a smile to my face as I look at his precious smiling eyes! I remember the good times we have had growing up as cousins.Never a dull moment with Kris around!I'm so glad he brought his family to Disney World, I lived near there at the time, and he was able to come over for a evening with the whole gang! We really enjoyed him and the pleasure of meeting his beautiful family! I just wish I could have had the opportunity to visit him at his home in CA. The invitation was always open!! My love and prayers to Jenny, the children, and the entire family. We will miss Kris.

Yvette Y. Herrera : Yvette Y. Herrera – April 17, 2006 I can’t even being to express my feelings in hearing about the loss of such a wonderful person. I had the opportunity to get to know Kris (& Frick family) when I dated Kelly. Kris had a way of making people feel so welcome and comfortable. Kris had the gift of gab and could sell ice cubes to an Eskimo! It’s so unfortunate that he was taken so early in life, but now he is watching over all of you. I know that Kris played a “HUGE” role in Kelly’s life and I have to say…. that I appreciate all the things that he did for Kelly, when Kelly and I were dating. Oh, and Kris thanks for taking that Escort off my hands! It only took Kelly -- about three hours of hard, frustrating convincing for me to buy it! I hope that it was a good little car for Candace! I know she wasn’t too fond of the color, either. God Bless you, Jennie, Candace and Nicolas my thoughts are prayers go out to you at this time and I will keep you in my prayers.

Dan and Karen Schade: You always new when Kris was in the room, he made things fun. His most amazing attribute to me was the unselfish ability to stop his life to help his friends. You know he wants us to keep laughing. God Bless Buddy.

Vanessa Jimenez (Adrian's sister): Over the past couple years all i've been able to hear about is all the crazy, fun times Adrian's been having with Kris and Nick, it's very sad to see such an amazing person and role model go. you're all in my prayers...

Meranda De La O (Tom & Loris sister): I know that there are no words that can heal your heart and take away your pain. Jennie, Candace and Nick your daddy is now the funniest Angel Heaven has ever and will eve
