“Big Brown”
A man I will forever remember as one of the most compassionate and gentle souls to walk this earth. Though it’s been years since I last saw him, every time our paths crossed, he greeted me the same way — with that big, genuine smile and his soft, deep voice saying, “What up!”
When he moved to Clarendon, we gained far more than a teammate. We gained a larger-than-life personality who brought hope, laughter, and brotherhood to everyone around him. His presence lifted spirits and left a lasting mark on all who had the privilege to know him.
I’ll never forget the times we were all together, and especially the time he pinned me to the underside of the old metal lineman chutes — left all of us laughing in the middle of practice. That moment summed him up perfectly: strong, full of life, and always bringing out the best in everyone around him.
Big Brown, your kindness, strength, and spirit will never be forgotten. You’ll be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on in every life you touched. Rest easy, big man.
Safe. That’s what I always felt in the presence of Uncle Chris. It might sound backwards, because while he was a giant, he was also the biggest teddy bear I’ve ever known. He had this quiet strength, the kind that made you feel protected, cared for, and completely at ease. He loved his family so deeply and so genuinely, and you could feel it in everything he did. His laugh, his hugs, and his kind heart will always stay with me. The world feels a little different without him, but I’m forever grateful for all the time, love, and memories we shared.
Chris was one of the kindest and most respectful men. He was always smiling. He was a joy to know and work with.
