Christopher W. Rudolph

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Tarring-Cargo Funeral Home

Chris will be remembered by our family as a spirited and kind-hearted individual. So many positive memories surface when thinking of Chris, from his genuine love of nature to his spontaneous laughter. Chris worked alongside his friend Chris Boston and me in our small landscaping business. Our customers liked his work ethic and easy manner. Plus Chris always displayed respect for our clients and the environment. We shared many cheese steak subs at Maria’s in Parkville and Roma’s in Jacksonville during those landscaping days. Chris will always have a special place in our hearts and we wish his family peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love your Craigston Lane friends, the Boston family.

A wonderful childhood friend. I haven’t seen Chris in over 17 years, but oddly enough, I dream about him often. As a kid, I always looked up to Chris. In my eyes, you couldn’t get any cooler than him! Chris had a great sense of humor and a contagious personality. I loved being around him. Some of my favorite memories with Chris include playing video games, manhunt, trick-or-treating, sleepovers, and landscaping with my Dad. While my memories have faded over time, the following quote has proven to be true: “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I always felt better around Chris. Love you buddy.

To his parents and sister, our deepest sympathy. We are so saddened to hear of Chris's passing. We hadn't seen him in many years, but we will always remember him as the extremely smart, extremely funny teenager who spent many afternoons and weekends at our house playing video games with our son, Gordon. Attached are 2 photos I found of him. The one is from July 2006, when he went on vacation with us to the Outer Banks and he is sitting on the dunes with Gordon and their friend, Holly . The other is the day of our daughter's high school prom in May 2008, and he and Gordon posed with Beth for a quick shot. This is how we will always remember him. Wishing you comfort and peace, Debi and Charlie Parrish

Roger & Sarah, I'm so sad to hear of your loss. As a parent we never think our child will pass prior to us but, life sometimes has ways of making us even stronger. The good Lord will welcome him and they will be looking over all of us! God Bless, Mark Farro
