I remember when Chris did his internship at the Sheriff's Office. He was assigned to ride with me the majority of the time he was there. When I first met him we clicked right off which made things a lot easier for both of us. Even though there was a difference in age it was like we were brothers. That first summer I exposed him to a variety of things-- he got to see an exorcism, nudist community, and a lot of other things. Chris talked about going into the Coast Guard but I knew deep down he was going to be a Law Enforcement Officer. I just knew... When I found out that he was coming to work with us I was certainly glad of it.. I laughed to myself and said "I knew it, I knew it." I had the honor of being his FTO and we had a lot of fun together. I remember he had bought this little flashlight and I asked him "What the hell are you going to do with that?" We both laughed.. I took him to Parker Battery and showed him what light he needed and he bought it..He was so excited and I was excited for him. He reminded me of how I was when I was a rookie (by the way that's what we called him). Chris brought a lot of happiness and energy to work with him and that has made me into a better person.. I miss you buddy very much but I know you are right there watching over each of us.

Biggiest thing is he was a honest cop unlike Deputy Sheriff Donald R. Edwards that is no longer with the department and not man enough to tell the public why.. This should tell you all something about Deputy Sheriff Donald R. Edwards.. don't trust him!!!!
