This site is dedicated to the memory of our one-and-only Christopher F. Shaffer.
Beloved son and brother. Compassionate teacher. Loving companion and friend.
Christopher was a force bigger than life itself. His free spirit, resilience and pure love touched so many lives over the course of his 28 years. He will never be forgotten for his dedication, intelligence, curiosity and beautiful smile. Chris, may you rest in peace, and may we meet again one day.
"View life by smiles, not by tears. And age by great moments, not by years.”
He is much loved and will always be remembered by all his friends and family. Swim, bike, run and love forever.

Thoughts
There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't think about you and your family Chris... I always looked up to you as an immeasurable force. To this day, if I have a doubt in my ability to achieve a goal I think to myself "Chris could easily do this... Man up and finish!" There is no question, I would not be who I am now without growing up around you. You are missed by so many but I hope somehow you know that you continue to make me stronger.

Although I didn't know Chris, I hope you don't mind me reading your tribute to him, which is beautiful.I lost my son Adam at 19 and today when I logged on to Muchloved, his name and Christopher's were both highlighted. Chris and Adam were two of a very special kind and your idea that God maybe ofers a trade-off of all that they had, but not for long, is something I can relate to. Both wonderful, special young men, gone far too soon. Thinking of you all. From Chris, Adam's mum xx
