Chris Stansfield was killed from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Survivors include his wife, Jessica, and daughters, Jordyn and Ashlie of Wellington.
Chris was probably, No; he was truely my best friend in high school. He was the one that kept me going when all else seemed overwhelming. He is the one that kept me from pulling that proverbial trigger several times in high school. Usually with some smart ass remark. His friendship was never questionable, and his intentions were always true.
About a year after Chris passed Kristi and I were expecting our first child. While deciding on names; I knew it was going to be a boy. Kris wanted to name him Dallen, Michael; that wasn't fitting to me. I wanted to name my son after someone who inspired me to be a better person, the friend that I new would always be at my side when times got tough. The person that when I told him in high school "if I ever start dating "that" girl I will marry her", and even though he said I was nuts; stood beside me on the day I married her. When our son was born, he was named Dallen Christopher; in memory of Chris.
Rest in Peace, Buddy!!! We'll meet again one day in that great arena, and we will celebrate the lives we lived and those that we both touched.
