"He wouldn't leave the room until he made sure every single person was happy. "Chris was the most determined person there could ever be. "He had a dream, set a goal & didn't stop until he achieved that goal. It didn't matter what or who he lost on the way, he made sure he had his eye on one thing and one thing only."
