Christopher Shonk Obituary

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I've lost touch over the years, I still remember Chris as a great, caring guy. The entire Shonk family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I didn't get to know Chris but so well. Even with that every time I was around him he was always nice to me. You could tell he was a good person and I'm sorry I didn't get to know him better.

Even in the short amount of time that I knew Chris, it was easy to see what an amazing person he was. I will always cherish the memories that I have of him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and I love you all.

They say a smile is the best accessory that you can wear, and we will always remember that of Christopher's. His smile conveyed that he was friendly, jovial, personable, caring, and, above all, compassionate. There was a lot of life in his smile; the kind that made you feel comfortable and understood. Many surround themselves with people who have these qualities in order to feel loved and accepted, but such a find is rare except in this case. None of us will ever forget Chris's smile, what it taught, nor how contagious it was. We love you Donnie, Gail, and Kim and share the pain of your loss. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet such a pleasant, genuine, heroic, and inspiring person. We pray that you be given the strength to get through this trying time. Stay well.

I have the most wonderful memories of Christopher as a youngster playing with my children. I wish I could have known him as an adult. I'm sure his warm, fun, loving, caring personality carried through into adulthood. I'm glad he was our friend.

I love all of you. You are in my thoughts and heart. Chris was very gifted and will never be forgotten.

Dear Gail and family...

There are not adequate words to express how deeply saddened I feel for you in the loss of your precious Chris. My heart goes out to all of you. May God's love comfort you in your sorrow and may you find peace in knowing that Chris rests peacefully in loving hands of God.

With my deepest condolences,
Cheryl (Lynda Baker's sister)
