Christopher Robert Poindexter passed the day before Memorial day. He went into the hospital to have a mass removed off his kidney and flatlined on the table for 20 minutes. He was 27 years old. When they brought him back he had brain damage from being under for so long. Chris had seizures and the tremors. He has to get a tracheotomy to help him breath (hole in the neck). Since January 23 he was in a semi comatose state. He had lost an lot of weight and the hair in the back of his head from lack of movement. Chris held on till every one that I could contact made it down there to say their goodbyes. I am posting this so I don't have to keep telling people. It hurts to keep going over it. He was heaven sent and a GREAT person. The first pick is the day before and the second is afterwards. Please tell anyone that you dont think know.

  3. I never knew of his passing until reunion in 2010. I gasped when they flashed his picture in the memorial portion of the ceremony. Know that this life is temporary and you all will reunite in the next deminsion. He lives in every bit of beauty you witness and experience...so find reasons to see beauty in everything and smile.
