Chris, your music helped me become a stronger person and a better man. I saw you live with Soundgarden in St. Louis, a night I’ll never forget. Your music spoke to me, no matter its incarnation, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog. And it’s been the soundtrack of countless memories with friends and family.

I miss you and I hope that your children will forever know that despite your tragic end, you brought beauty, inspiration, strength, and hope to countless people. I wish there was more to your story and the years ahead will undoubtedly be darker without you. But the gifts you gave us will never be forgotten. Say Hello to Heaven.
