And always will!
Love Crystal

Your 50th birthday was the last one you had, I'm so happy we were able to celebrate it, you still are in my heart, I will be looking for you on the other side, when that time comes, you showed me what faith in life was, I will always love you. And thank you for that! Knowing what true love was, is something special.

Christopher, you have left the biggest impact on my life, you brought me Hope, Love, and I will not and can not ever forget you my love, and spirituality. You helped me believe and except Go, I will see you again, I visited our spot on the peer recently, our date carvings are no longer there, but I know you are, I'm doing good, have a lot of Positive people in my life, I never thought I would find love like our love we had, our friendship. I have, and I believe you and God sent him to me, because he's just like you, and he believes it was you too. I can't believe it's been 5 years now, feels like yesterday sometimes when I got that call from your mother that morning, then seeing that crime scene, I'm so sorry this happened to you, I still think sometimes, if you were able to stay with me that night this would not have happened, but I have to let go of that, our circumstances were toxic, even though I learned so much from you I still use your quotes to this day, you were very wise, and I know where you got that from, mom and dad. Your my angel, I will never let go of that. Mr. And Mrs. Hamilton, I'm so glad I was able to know you, thank you for embracing me, you also left an impact on my life, all posative, and I want you to know your son might not have made the best choices but he was a good, good man. No one can argue that. With so much love
Until we meet again Christopher Joseph Hamilton
I will always love you
Crystal Gardner.

We truly miss you , Chris. I can't believe that you will not walk through the door with that Big Smile of Yours! We love you so much. I know that you are very proud of your children. They love you and miss you! Alex and Aminah speak of you often and very lovingly. Your grand kids are the greatest! I, your Mama, try not to be sad but the situation of your death makes me sad. Your life was very precious to me, my son. Forever Mama

To my dear brother Chris,
I think back to the days when I idolized you because you were the big brother that could do anything. You were athletic, charismatic and adventurous. I lived for and through your adventurous nature because I was always more reserved. This adulation wasn't restricted to me only, but my closest childhood friends as well. We all loved you for you and will remember you fondly and lovingly.
Your athletic abilities were obvious very early in life. You could run, throw and catch better than most your age and it was evident on the pitcher's mound. I'm sure you made dad proud because he was a baseball player. What dad wouldn't want their son to excel in the sport they also grew up playing?
As we got older, you defined the term socialite. There wasn't a person you didn't feel comfortable approaching or allowing to approach you. Your magnetic personality and sense of humor always made you life of the party. And again, I enjoyed living vicariously through your out-going nature.
As a young man, I didn't understand how you could always make "leap before looking" seem so effortless and without consequence. That was the side of you that couldn't be denied and wouldn't be contained. You were truly fearless and I admired that about you.
I love and miss you.
Rest well.
Your brother,
Alex

This year has had its bitter pills to swallow for our family. Eugene has been ill and the trial for his killer. As his mother, I still expect him to walk in with a BIG SMILE and want a plate of his Mama's home cooking. My heart aches! The Best to you and your family.

Carole and Eugene,
We were shocked to hear of Chris' passing. We are truly sorry and extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family during this challenging time. We have not seen Chris in many years but have fond memories of earlier days. Remember he and his brothers playing basketball when you lived on Outer Drive. Please know that you are loved.

I did not meet Christopher many times over the years. However, each time I saw him I could see the love he had for you. I saw a kind man and someone who wanted a good life.
May he rest in peace.

Words cannot express how sorry Frank and I are for the loss of your son, Christopher. You are in Frank any my constant thoughts and prayers. We hope that the beautiful memories you have of Chris will comfort you during this difficult time.
Frank and I really liked Chris and I especially enjoyed our occasional front porch conversations. He was SO intelligent and charming. And, Chris had his father's good looks!
I last saw Chris on Thursday, August 3rd. He spent several hours cleaning up my font and back yards. I was in bed, as I wasn't feeling well. So, Chris and I called each other on our phones probably fifteen times. About every 1/2 hour, he called to update me as to his progress. I told him he was a "working fool" and not to overdo it because it was hot! He laughed and said, "Mrs. Redmond, I'm not tired. I enjoy yard work, and I'm glad that I can help you out. I just hope that you feel better." He had the most wonderful manners and was always so polite and kind to me. I will miss him.
I recently read this quote by Elizabeth Foley and thought it was appropriate. She said, "Friends are pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it's just enough to know that they are standing by." I think that I can speak on behalf of our neighbors when I say, Carole and Eugene, we are all here for you. Please know that we love you.❤️❤️❤️
May God bless Christopher. May he Rest In Peace in the loving arms of Jesus Christ.
Love,
Frank and Norene Redmond
