When I was in high school, I really felt like an outsider. As many of us do. I was a lost soul and I was searching for who I was, and what that really meant. I remember hearing Temple of the Dog for the first time. It opened my heart and soul. I fell in love with music! I memorized every riff, note and lyric. Then I discovered Soundgarden. My whole world opened. I wish I could say thank you. Thank you, Chris for being there and understanding! My heart broke the day I learned he was gone. Only 4 days from seeing Soundgarden live… A piece of my soul is gone with him.

To Vicky and his children, my heart and deepest condolences go out to you. I know it feels impossible to get through this. We are all here sending you love. Thank you for giving us your Chris. He will always be missed.
