I don’t even know what to say. I only knew him for a year. But it was always a good time when he was around never a dull moment. RIP in peace Chippers. Until we meet again.

Dearest Family of Chip, I had become friends with chip about a year ago on facebook. He was such a nice guy and seemed so full of life despite his trials. He was always enjoyable to talk to. For a person with the will power to live he was persistent. Even though I have no idea why the hospital would send him home breathing the way he expressed is unreal. For him to post while asking for prayers from all of his friends, can’t help but think of his courage and perseverance even while weak. God has plans for you my friend. I know all of your pain is gone and you are in a world that is unexplainable. If you are there, I know what lies ahead in heaven. May God Bless you and your family. One thing he seemed to have going on was to push through and continue. That is a quality many of us don’t have. Rest in peace and rest without pain Chip. To the family I am so sorry for your loss. I know the tears one can shed for this. I pray to the lord for you to have Chips strength to pull through and carry out his memory. AMEN
