My prayers for Chris Horton's wife, parents, siblings, and grandparents are for comfort and the strength to 'walk through' this valley of the shadow of death of your loved one with the promise of seeing him again in a not so far future. I am grateful that Jesus has removed the sting of death for us. The Horton family and ministry at World Outreach Church in Tulsa has touched my life and I want to in turn reach out and touch your life at this time. Your husband, son and grandson is a champion that I as an American am proud to say I knew of him and his valor for this country and myself. His life was not in vain. This you can hold to. I would like to thank Chris for serving our country, The United States of America. May our Lord continue to hold you closer that ever before in His bosom. GOD BLESS YOU, Bonnie Garrett.
To know Chris must have been so special! Just reading about him and his accomplishments one could only admire and respect such a wonderful young man and his love for our great nation. He is now one in the "Great Cloud of Witnesses" that hover over us, still protecting his family and cheering them on! May God Bless each one of his family and friends and grant them His peace in the midst of their storms! My utmost sympathy and prayers, Shirley Ramadan (Mt Paran Church Choir, Atlanta, GA)

We are sorry for the loss of your son Christopher. We pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort you during this time.
Dear Jane,I am with you through this tough time, my heart and prayers daily.Psalm 91 The Soldier's Psalm1.You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, 2.Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust." 3.God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague, 4.Will shelter you with pinions, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield. 5.You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day, 6.Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon. 7.Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come. 8.You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see. 9.You have the LORD for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold. 10.No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent. 11.For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways. 12.With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13.You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon. 14.Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high. 15.All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor. 16.With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power.God and Chris has delievered their promise.Love you and God Bless.
David and family, we are so sorry for your loss, and know that no words will ever make it any easier. Christy, Kimberly, and I are here for all of you if there is anything you need. We love you all.
Please accept my condolences and know that your extraordinary son did not give his life in vain.Sincerely,Sherwood page
Rev. Horton I am so sorry about the tragic passing of your son. I so appreciate you ministering to my father at the end of his life. Your words were a great comfort and hope to him, and I am eternally grateful. I am also grateful to your son and his ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I am reminded of the words of Paul in Acts 20:24 "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." May the Holy Spirit comfort your entire family at this time, and may the peace of God keep you all.
Our hearts are with all of you at this very sad and dificult time. We will be eternally grateful for Chris and young men like him, who believe in this country and what it stands for, to the point that they are willing to lay down their lives to defend it. May the comfort of God's Spirit abide with you all now and in the days and months to come.In His love and ours, Rob and Rose Wynne
