About 7:30 pm I lost my hero. Chris passed from this world to the next. He was surrounded by friends and family that loved him very much. Thank you all for your prayers and support.

P.S. You still have that note i sent to you?

Rod,

We are so sorry for your loss. I too have tragedy in my life today. My GF's grandson (4 Years old) will be taken off life support in the morning. This is truly trgic. Just remember this. God has a plan for Chris and he needs him so please find comfort in this thought.

[Hogan11]

I'm very sorry to hear of this.....you and your family are in my thoughts :(

[MrPeepers]

:pity: for your loss, i'm saddened. i hope you find peace soon.

[Requiem]

I don't know you, and probably never will - but just know that you, Christopher and your entire family are in my prayers tonight. Tragedy has struck home too many times in the past few weeks and years, it's hard to see others go through the same thing.

Bless you and your family, and I hope you will find solace knowing that Christopher is in a better place and isn't hurting anymore.

I don't have the best words, but I hope everything turns out well for you and everyone.

Just take care.

[broncofan2438]

I am very sorry for your loss, I lost my dad about two years ago and know the pain you must be going through. Thoughts and prayers are with you

[Popps]

I can't imagine.

Bless you and all those around you.

[bpc]

RIP. Thoughts and prayers going out to you and yours. May his soul give you strength in this tough time.

[Bronco Yoda]

I am so very sorry for your loss. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine a more painful loss. A loss of a child is a burden no parent should ever have to endure.

I pray God gives you the strength to now stay strong for your wife and family during these trying times and in your darkest hours. Your loved ones will need this most of all in the coming days ahead.

Christopher and your entire family are in my prayers tonight.

Rest in peace Christopher- May God bring you into his fold and keep you for evermore.

This is just heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with Christopher and your family.

[BlaK-Argentina]

Very sorry to hear. It's hard to believe that such bad things can happen to anyone, let alone an 18 year old kid.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
May you rest in peace, Chris.

[Meck77]

God bless you Chris.

[gunns]

I am so sorry Rod. This broke my heart this morning. Chris must have been very special for God to need him so young. My prayers will be for you and Chris's mother to find the strength to get through this. Rely on your wonderful memories. 19 years ago you were the happiest man on earth. Today he is the one that is happy and pain free.

[Smiling Assassin27]

Deepest condolences to you and your family. May you find comfort in each other and in God.

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for this family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite them together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

You can't lose a hero. A hero is always with you reminding you of what courage looks like and being strong when you are not able to.

[Stuck In Texas]

Rod, please accept my sincere condolences. God also knew what a special person he was and called him home to be with Him. I'm sure his illness was very difficult, but he is finally at peace in paradise. May God bless you and your family and may you find the serenity that comes with knowing that your precious son has gone home.

[HEAV]

:pray: :(

[LordHelmchen]

I'm very, very sorry to hear that. Hope you and your family will come through. Please accept my deep and sincere condolences.

[Steve Prefontaine]

Rod, so sorry to hear the news. I wish all the best to you and your family as you work through this tragic loss.

[broncobum6162]

So sorry to hear about about the loss of your son. After experiencing the death of my step-daughter almost a year ago in an auto accident, I know that words cannot take away the grief you must be feeling at this moment. Unless one goes thru what you and your family, one cannot understand the emptiness and sorrow from losing a child. Things do happen for a reason and we may spend a lifetime before we figure it out but rest assured your son is in a better place. Time does help heal the scars but its never something you will be able to get over. I hope and pray for peace for your wife and you in this time of asking why. I fight back the tears as I post this.

P.S. When I posted our situation on the Mane I was overwhelmed w/ the response from fellow Bronco Fans. I'm sure the many posts and PMs you are recieving are helping you cope right now as it did me. Peace.

[Needa Pass Rush]

I envy not in any moods
The captive void of noble rage,
The linnet born within the cage,
That never knew the summer woods:


I envy not the beast that takes
His license in the field of time,
Unfetter'd by the sense of crime,
To whom a conscience never wakes;

Nor, what may count itself as blest,
The heart that never plighted troth
But stagnates in the weeds of sloth;
Nor any want-begotten rest.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Warm thoughts of healing for you and your family, Rod.

[Spider]

sorry to hear this

[Los Broncos]

Heres a little poem that gets me threw hard times.


Time is a thing we must accept.
The unexpected I sometimes
fear.
Just when I feel there's no
excuse for what happens,
things fall into place.
I know there is no way to
avoid the pain that we must
go through, to find the other
half that is true.
Destiny is what we all seek.
Destiny was waiting for you
and me.

I believe behind confusion,
awaits the truth for us.
Past the obstacles we face.
I value our life and trust.
Years of questioning why
things happen the way they
do in life.
Wishing that I could turn back
time, so we could join our
souls.

[BroncoBuff]

So sad ... my prayers and wishes for you and your family.

[CSU Husker]

Man, I am so sorry to hear that. I cant imagine the pain you are feeling right now, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

[SteveTensi13]

You and your family will be in my prayers:

I know that it must be different, Now that I am no longer here. I realize how much I was loved and how much all of you care. Ii know it will be hard at first when you look around for me. Just remember I wont be here but always in your memory.

Someday you will begin to see the happy times you shared with me, the memories are yours and mine. I'll remember you my family and how much you meant to me. So please dont grieve and dont be sad. It was just my time to leave. It was just my time to leave. Rest in Peace Christopher and sleep with the angels.

[Rigs11]

[Banana Pants]

The most difficult trial a human will ever face is watching their child leave this world before them. Although we don't know each other, I can't begin to express to you the sympathy I feel for you and your family right now. While God may not be at the top of your list these days, I pray he is able to carry you through the most difficult days you will ever encounter. I am truly saddened by your loss.

[broncomac]

I'm so sorry. I hope you guys will one day be rejoined in another place much better than here. God Bless you.
