Even though Christopher suffered much physical and mental pain, he hid it well and didn't like people to know how much pain he had been in. He will be remembered for his big personality, his humor, his artistic and musical talents, his athleticism, his love of soccer and pool and music. He was a big sports and movie buff, especially horror movies. He was well rounded and learned how to teach himself how to play the guitar and Piano.

He now joins our father, James Perea, who passed in 2001 and has never stopped being missed. I take comfort in imagining that reunion.

Chris was also deeply loved by our mother, Rosalinda, our saint. The bond they shared was so special. They were best friends. They played board games, watched movies, cooked together, and simply enjoyed each other in a way that was beautiful to witness. She was the only one he'd let into his world, and she truly loved and cared for him with her whole heart. I know a part of her heart goes with him.

Chris also leaves behind his son, Jameson “Jp” Perea, his heartbeat who carries his father’s artistic talent. From the moment he found out he was going to have a kid, a boy non the less, he was beyond excited to have a miniature him to teach all about music and movies and sports. He was so proud of Jp and the young man he was becoming. He is proud of the person he was and was excited to see who he would become because of how smart he is. His sister Christy, who loved him more than life. They didn't always see eye to eye, but she loved her big brother who protected her when they were little and the man that taught her how to play the guitar. There is peace knowing he has been re-united with his dad, one of his best friends Devin, and many family members, both 2 legged and 4 legged.  Nick Ferro, his brother in-law, who shared that perfect brotherly banter with h—always a bet, always a competition, always love underneath it. He respected Nick and, in some way, admired the man he was, taking care of his baby sister and his nieces. Lastly, he leaves behind his 3 nieces who brought him so much joy: Mya, his witty, street-smart first niece, who made him proud as she grew into a strong young woman; Reese, his sporty, tough Reesie, with whom he shared a love of soccer; and Stella, the youngest, the jokester, the creative one, full of music and dancing and mischief, so much like her Uncle P.

 Death is a challenge, it tell us not to waste time. It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other. Love your people, love your neighbors. Let this be a reminder that you may never get the chance to say goodbye, so always end on a high note.
