Messages Of Condolence

Chris will be sadly missed by many, he was the most kind, compassionate and empathic man I have ever met and he was like a Dad to me, always saying I was “part of the Beckett family now” And I really did feel that.

I appreciate how painful his passing is going to be for his family. You can rest in peace now Chris in the arms of Jesus in heaven. I miss you so much! xx
