Christopher Bret Fuit May 25, 1972 - May 18, 1985 with as much love as possible as there wasn't going to be much else. Through the years Christopher Bret was blessed with two younger brothers. The saying 'I am my brothers keeper' was written for Christopher, I am sure. He loved his brothers with all he had and he was a true older brother. As there was no father in their lives, they were totally dependent on each other, and Chris filled the shoes of a true grown-up man. and being the man around the house. He always said, "Mom you work hard now and when I am an adult I will work hard and take care of you." He knew he would get some kind of sport scholarship to go to college, he excelled in any sport he played. His favorite sport was football and he was a tackle and tight end. But he loved all sports. I knew someday I would watch him professionally. Chris was killed in a hunting accident one week before he turned thirteen. He never got to finish school and go to college and on to pro sports. He never married nor had children. I think of this daily now as I have watched his brothers grow, marry and have families. I know life goes on and people move in and out of your life, but the pain of missing my son has never gone away. I work around it daily and talk to him daily. It has been 22 years for me and at times it is like yesterday. I still miss him so so much. from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael. After calling my mother in CA to come here to WA, she was put on a flight that before it left was canceled. She then began to go hysterical, and they finally got her on a flight a United flight and sat her in 1st class, as she was too upset to go any further. She was set next to a gentleman that talked to her and found out the reason for her being so upset and the flight to Seattle. She told him all about our boy and how awesome he was. As the plane landed in Seattle he handed her this poem. It was read at his funeral by his girlfriend (his first) (loved his freckles). We have tried to find this man but cannot. I hope he knows how much this poem means to me. We come today to say farewell Though we don't fully understand Our Chris has gone to be with God Some where far beyond He was a gentle caring boy In his short life he gave his all This thought of him will always hold He stood so very tall Still we have so much of him Through seeds that he has sown In his family, in his sports So much good has surely grown Though now we sadly say farewell We'll meet again beyond the stars That is the glory of our faith The promise that is ours So here's to you our cherished son This salute sent high above You have the most that we can give For you carry all our love by his native American grandfather. I would like The Dance for the music. He had a tabby cat when he died and a sheltie dog, but he loved all animals as we lived on a small horse ranch. how to surf in CA and Chris had told me if he could live anywhere it would be where he learned to surf. That is where we scattered his ashes. right after my son was killed. 1985 was a rough year for my family. I remember everything about you your voice, your smile, your touch, the way you walked, the way you talked, the way you looked at me meant so much. I remember all the words you said to me, some funny, some kind, some wise, all the things you did for me I see now with different eyes. I remember every moment we shared, seems like only yesterday, or maybe it was eons ago, it is really hard to say. You are gone from me now but, one thing they can't take away, Your memory resides inside my heart and lights up my darkest days! ~ Author Unknown Performed by Ashley Gearing Time passes by so quickly But I guess I thought you'd be here forever I never even had a chance To say goodbye There's so many things to tell you Left unsaid until now Can you hear me when I talk to you? Do the words I say ever make it through? Can you hear me when I talk to you? 'Cause I'd give anything if I knew Every night I have the same dream The one where you get to hold me We laugh and talk until the morning And then you vanish, yeah It always leaves me feeling helpless When I wake up and you're not there Can you hear me when I talk to you? Do you know how much I'd love to be with you? Can you hear me when I talk to you? 'Cause I'd give anything if I just knew Living in this world without you I constantly search through my memories Hoping that I find some treasures That I passed over, yeah All that I took for granted Means so much now and I won't let it go Can you hear me when I talk to you? 'Cause I never said some things that I meant to Can you hear me when I talk to you? 'Cause I'd give anything if I just knew You know I never said some things that I meant to Can you hear me when I talk to you? 'Cause I'd give anything if I just knew I miss you Baby May bring tears to my eyes, But it never fails to bring Music to my ears. If you are really my friend, Let me hear the beautiful music of his name. It soothes my broken heart And sings to my soul. ~ Author Unknown I am truly sorry for your loss of such a handsome young man.
