Lit a candle in memory of Christopher William Coffelt
Chris was a high school buddy of mine, we had a lot of fun times going to the lake, drinking beers, and taking shots.Lost touch with him when I moved to Florida back in 2001.Was hoping to catch up with him agin over a few beers, never got that chance.Chris was always the guy to come cheer you up if you were feeling down.
I'm gonna be real, so keep scrolling if you can't hang.Chris could be a real scumbag at times. He'd steal everything but the shirt on your back and then he'd ask for that and you would give it to him with a smile. He lied constantly wasn't wrong once in his life. He shot smack, smoked crack, and slept with anyone who would have him (whio was normally smoking hot and way out of his league). Do I have your attention? Chris did NOT die from a gunshot, as the media proclaims. Chris died from a DISEASE that has taken our country by storm. The saddest part of this is that the disease can be treated with medication that's been around for 50 years. Most people don't realize the struggle that Chris and millions more deal with daily. Hell, the last real memory I have is helping Chris give CPR to a random girl. But that was Chris. Sure, he'd sell you enough stuff to kill a city block, but when you started fish-flopping on the floor Chris was there. And stayed there. Not because he felt responsible or guilty, but because, in that one moment, when most would head for the hills, there were no shades of gray. There was simple dichotomy, right and wrong. Without thought he acted. He saw passed his greed. He put himself in danger of imprisonment. Without thought he did the right thing. And that's how I will remember Chris, may he find the peace he was denied in this world. Nothing but love for all friends and family.
Sent a gift in memory of Christopher William Coffelt
There was one time 2 months ago where we laughed for like 4 hours straight. Till we were crying and our face and stomach hurt. After everything he's been through he was happy, even if it was for a brief time. I saw him on Valentine's Day, one of the last things he said to me before I dropped him off was, "I love you, keep your chin up kid" and kissed my forehead.
Happy Days
Christopher was the most eager person I knew eager to please and eager go impress we love and miss you now amanda finally hasa funny friend to keep her company
I have so many memories of Chris, it's difficult to pick just one. I hve a lot of hilarious memories and fun times. But I have decided to choose the one that means so much to me. I was in this relationship with our mutual friend, we were together for 7 years and he ended up dumping me. Out of all of our mutual friends Chris was literally the only person who showed up to check on me. He came by my house to make sure I was okay. It meant so much to me because I felt absolutely friendless and so sad and so alone. Chris promised me that no matter how bad I felt then that it wouldn't be that way forever, and that I would meet the person I was supposed to be with one day because I wasn't with the person I wasn't supposed to be with anymore. He said that, however painful, this was the opening of the door for the right guy to be able to walk through. Well, Chris was right. About 3 months later I met the love of my life, the man who became my husband and the father of my 3 children. We've been together for almost 10 years now. Chris was my friend for 17 years, and he will be in my heart forever. Chris was like a brother to me and grief has hit me so deeply and in such a way due to the nature of his passing and just because I never thought I'd be living in a world without Chris. I miss you, man You were always so fun and hilarious and really such an empathetic person, so many people liked you and cared about you and it wont be the same without you. But I will see you again one day.…Until We Meet Again Those special memories of you, will always bring a smile. If Only I could have you back, just for a little while. Then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to do. You've always meant so very much, and always will do too. The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain, But you're forever in my heart, until we meet again.
My thoughts are with you as you go through these difficult days ahead. Sending hugs and prayers for your comfort and healing.Paula Irwin
Dear Nancy & Joe: Although Charlie and I have never met Christopher, it is obvious that he had a very loving and supportive family. May he rest in peace. With our deepest sympathy, Joyce & Charlie
