Dear Brenda, I can't express my shock on hearing that Chris is gone. I am sorry that you Chris Kayla and Daniel have had this tragedy. It doesn't seem possible to imagine a world without Chris, without that great big smile and laugh of his. What a great friend, Father and husband he was. I'm sorry I didn't know what was going on in your lives to offer comfort. I was lucky to have known you both and to have had your steadfast friendship when I needed it the most. I'll pray for all of you and I'll cherish our happier days together.

Our sincere condolences to you and your family Brenda at this very difficult time our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Brenda. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, Chris. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Sincerely, Cheryl.

My deepest and heart felt condolences to Brenda, Kayla and Daniel. I have known Chris for many years, and he was one of kind, the good kind, Kind heart, wonderful smile, great laugh and you could always count of him to come through for you. Again my sympathy and may God hold you in His palm as you go through this difficult time in your lives but know you have one hell of an angel looking out for you now.

To the family - I got to know Chris while working at Go Packaging. Though I never met you, Brenda, Kayla or Daniel, I did feel I did, as Chris always spoke with pride and love for you all. Chris will leave a lasting legacy in the hearts he touched. Chris had a great ability to seperate work from play and no matter how intense a meeting could be... once it was over you could always count on Chris to grab a cold one and make everyone laugh! The world was a better place because of Chris! My thougths and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Brenda, Daniel, and Kayla my prayers and sympathy are with you. Chris will be missed by all of us. He was always their with an encouraging comment or a way to make us all laugh. He lived a good life and will always be remembered. Take care.

Brenda, Daniel, and Kayla. I am so very sorry to here of your loss. I was fortunate enough to work with Chris at GO Packaging. We shared many laughs which will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with your entire family.

Brenda, Kayla & Dan I am sure you know but without a doubt, Chris well so well thought of amongst our group of friends and so well respected !! On many occasions his sense of humour stood out above the rest and made us laugh over and over again. Golf trips will never be the same without him but he will be thought of every single time. I know we will miss him. An outstanding individual in so many ways and a real gentleman.

We are so saddened by Chris' passing, a wonderful man in so many many ways. His 'presence of mind', his wit and most certainly his humour will be deeply missed by all who crossed paths with this beautiful guy! Chris lives on in our hearts. With our deepest sympathies for Brenda,Kayla,Dan and relatives ! Your friends, Rick and Tracy

It was always our pleasure to be in Chris's company. He emitted an effortless warmth. We admired him for his kindness, sincerity and his abounding love for his family. Dennis and Cathy

Chris and I started working at GO just days apart, 20 years ago. When I think of Chris Holland, I immediately think laughter - the bent over, crying kind of laughter. But beyond that, Chris was a thoughtful, warm, caring and gentle man who had the utmost respect for family and friends held dear to his heart. He never forgot a kind deed done, or word spoken to/for him. Brenda, Kayla and Dan - my heart simply breaks for you and your extended family. Chris - you were one of a kind, gone too soon and will leave a void for all who knew you. I will miss you my dear friend.....

Chris is one of the kindest men I have ever known. I am grateful to have known him. My heart breaks knowing how he suffered and how difficult a time this is for your family. May peace find you and faith guide you.

Brenda, Kayla and Daniel, you were privileged to have this wonderful man as a Husband and Father, and my heart breaks for you and the unimaginable loss you are suffering. I have known Chris for almost 20 years, through our working together at GO Packaging. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Chris. His work ethic and integrity were irreproachable. HIs sense of humour was amazing, and laughter was always the main ingredient if spending anytime with Chris. He was, quite simply, a wonderful person. He made people around him better ... at anything. He will be deeply missed. Respectfully Dan Carey

Brenda, Daniel and Kayla - I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Husband/Father was such an inspiration to all who knew him.

I am and WE are all better people because of you and you touched our lives in so many ways. You truly did wear your heart on your sleeve. I will forever be thankful for your encouragement at work and just about life in general. I am proud to say I learned a lot from you the last 18 years. And I thank you for making me a better person and an even harder worker. I will miss your jokes, especially your LAUGH, your kindness, your ability to turn a bad situation into an amazing one, your kind words and your loving support. Thank you soo much for being and amazing friend and an even better mentor. Thank you for sharing your hilarious golf stories with your buddies…..especially the basketball “geriatric” not being able to breathe stories. The stories of You and Brenda and your children whom you loved and adored to the moon and back. THANK YOU for allowing all of us at GO to be a part of your life and for always believing in us. WE LOVE YOU! Rest in peace my amazing friend xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo……Have fun with Joeski!!

Brenda, Daniel and Kayla, I am so truly sorry to hear of your loss. Chris was one of a kind, he always made me laugh and I enjoyed his wonderful hugs. He did wear his heart on his sleeve and was always there when I needed him. Working with Chris was always a pleasure. I am so greatful to have known him and pray you all find some peace in the days to come. Hold on to those memories. Gonna miss you terribly Chris. xxxxooo

Brenda,Dan & Kayla, I am so sorry I am unable to be there today. On those few occasions I spent time with Chris, I so clearly remember how enjoyable his presence was and his wonderful energy. My deepest sympathy on your loss. May his memories and spirit comfort you. Jac

Brenda, Kayla, and Daniel, I was saddened to hear about the passing of Chris. I met Chris 16 years ago as a supplier to GO Packaging, then as co-workers. I am proud to count him as a friend and be counted as one to him. I have never met a more honest, respectful, and sincere person. If friends and family are the measure of a man, Chris Holland was a Giant! Thank you Chris for sharing yourself, I know I am a better person today having known you.

To say Chris was special to me would be an understatement. He meant the world to me. He was my cousin, but all my life I've thought of him as a big brother. He was always so kind, positive and supportive. There for us whenever we needed him. And always available for a good dose of silly too! Oh the giggles we shared over the years :) Hanna and Chase will always affectionately refer to him as "Uncle Cousin Chris". Chase wanted me to add that he was a real "wise guy" (Those in the know will find this pretty funny and so would Chris!!) I feel truly blessed to have had him in my life. And lucky to have been able to spend some special time with him recently on my visit. Everyone who spent any amount of time with Chris walked away better for it. He was an inspiration in so many ways! I will truly miss him but will cherish every single memory. Wish I could be there with you Brenda, Dan and Kayla . . . I love you all! xoxoxo

Brenda, Dan & Kayla - I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Chris and my deepest condolensces go out to you and your family. Chris was a wonderful person and I feel privledged to not only have worked with him but more so to call him my friend. Chris, thank you for the memories, the laughter and the friendship - you will truly be missed! Kelly

Al and I would like to extend our condolences to your family. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to speak with you in person tonight. Obviously, Chris was very loved and respected by the large crowd paying their respects. I'll always remember what a great couple you made in high school. Take care.

Our sincere condolences go out to Brenda and family. Dave has always had wonderful things to say about Chris. Some of us had met him and others have not, but all of our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. All the staff at Mancari's

Brenda , Kayla and Daniel, my sincere condolences to you all at this most difficult time. I was sadened to hear of Chris's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Chris at GO Packaging.
