I rode with Chris and Eric a couple weeks back... I'm really sad to hear this. My prayers go out to his wife and sons. Thanks to the Cycle Works team for their support of Chris's loved ones in this terrible time. I'll remember him as a fantastic, skilled, fun rider. He allowed my friend and I to follow him and Eric around to their favorite stashes at Eagle Pass. I won't forget how kind he was and the efforts he and Eric made to find us when we got separated or stuck. Super great guy.... Rest in peace.

Where abouts from the cabin is this shady lane area? Is it across the lake then down to the left?

First of all, my condolences to the family and friends that Chris left behind. We seen Chris, Eric, and another buddy at the cabin that morning and had a good visit before we parted ways. It is still hard to believe what happened.
I met Chris at the Thunderstruck premiere in Red Deer last fall and he was explaining to me what his plans and intentions were for really making Cycle Works a success, and I know he was on the right path.
This is a substantial loss for all that knew Chris. RIP

I can't begin to measure the level of sorrow that Chris' family must be experiencing. I'm so sorry for the families loss.
For the last few years I've been lucky enough to get to know him and found him to be such a good stand up guy that stayed true to his word.
Mine and many others thoughts will be of you, while our prayers will be with your family.
Rest In Peace my friend!

Only met him briefly in at CW but he struck me as a good guy.

R.I.P Chris. My condolences to his family and friends.

This is really hard to read. Hits close to home as Chris used to work for Terry when I was in high school, which made us co-workers. My thoughts are with his wife and boys at this time. :(

Be safe out there, guys.

Chris was a great friend of mine, many skis were tugged and rums had back at camp. He was always there for anyone that needed his help and will be deeply missed. I have been talking to Kathy this week and have shared a lot of tears as well as a lot of great memories. This picture alone describes the person Chris was, got his sled stuck on purpose to come help me. Your smile and laugh will never be forgotten. Fairwell for now buddy. RIP Chris
