Tomorrow is one year later. I think of you every since day. I miss you, Deary.
Chris was just one of the best people I have ever known. He had the voice of an angel that I will never forget. He sang O Holy Night in middle school choir and I don't think there was a dry eye or arm without goosebumps on it. His kindness, joy, passion, thirst for life, compassion, and overall positive outlook on life is just something you don't come across often enough in life. I was in an airport when I got the news he had passed and just cried as I boarded my plane and through the first part of my flight because knowing the world lost such an incredible human being at such an early age in his life broke my heart. He didn't get to spread his joy and songs nearly long enough but I'm positive he touched so many that will carry on his memory.
Patty joins me in expressing our sadness and feeling of loss at the passing of Chris Myers. Chris was among the most talented students at Purdue during our time as President of the University. Chris was the star vocalist of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club and traveled the country and beyond carrying the message and the music of Purdue University to thousands of the Purdue family. I especially remember his singing "You are the Heroes" at the announcement of the public kickoff of our $1.7 Billion capital Campaign for Purdue in the fall of 2002. He had everyone cheering, many in tears, and inspired a huge audience of Boilermakers. In this way, he helped us meet our $1.7 Billion goal. Chris was an amazing entertainer and a spectacular voice. Patty and I were among his many friends and admirers in the Purdue community. His passing is a great loss to the Purdue community. We send our condolences to his family. The memory of his time at Purdue will always be a treasure for us. Martin and Patty Jischke. President and First Lady Emeritus, Purdue University
Chris came into my life, a bright and positive force, when we were in high school and like all 16 year old children, fumbling our way through self discovery. His spark for his passions always inspired me and his path to success and his true self was a work in progress every day that I knew him- a brave and enviable trait. We dreamed together, wrote music together, saw the world together, and grew up along side each other. Every person, blessed enough to have crossed paths with such a beautiful soul, loved him and being near his contagious energy. Chris, you will be in my heart forever old friend, and I’ll think of you every time I hear one of the thousands of songs we always sang at the top of our lungs everywhere we went. Thank you for loving me and sharing your light with all of us. Xx Alyson Fawley
I met Chris when he was 18 years old as we both stood in line to audition for American Idol. I was immediately drawn to his outgoing, funny, kind and loving personality. Despite the location distance we remained good friends and I would visit him when he would come back from Purdue and stay with his dad. I felt so connected to him and his dad and loved to sing with them. They made me feel like I was family. Chris was such a wonderfully talented and amazing young man. My heart is broken with his loss. I pray for comfort to the family that only God can give. I miss and love you Chris and look forward to the day when I see you again in Heaven. Until then...keep singing with the angels my sweet dear friend.
Chris helped to lead Vacation Bible School last year at church. My daughter was literally obsessed with him. He was rockstar status to her. Everyday she would come home and say “Chris said something so funny today” or “Chris asked me a question and I answered it” or “I want to sing like Chris someday”. Him taking the time out of his busy schedule to help really blessed a lot of children that week!
Chris from the first time I met you I fell in love with you I watched the elevator to see when you got off cause I knew my day would go well I’m so glad to Have the opportunity to be your friend two memories I will never forget you singing to me that made me cry to hear your angelic voice and the day you came to me and told me you were moving out of New York I felt like my nights standing behind that desk would never be the same being your favorite security Guard Was the best experience working on a job a job that I didn’t care for but you made so easy for me to do because you would come down and sit with me and we would talk for hours you were my strength I spoke with you the week before you went home to be with the lord and the last thing you said to me was I love you and knowing that warms my heart Chris you will forever be in my heart take your rest my dear friend until we meet again my angel love you always and forever your favorite security Guard Kim jones
