Chris, I am so deeply sad that you are gone, it is hard to find the words.
I will cherish the memory of our last family bbq before this lockdown. You cooked the barbie, and we sat out on our deck, it was a beautiful sunny afternoon. Life will not be the same, you will be so greatly missed.
Thank you for being my brother, always in my heart, Tania xoxo

Melissa Trainor
Oh Chris….what a gaping hole you have left in the hearts of so many, including mine. I’m deeply grateful that you came into my life two years ago. You did it your way….from insisting on no John Denver songs around the campfire at Flowerdale to battling Michael for control of the BBQ on Mother’s Day, as you both competed over Joanie’s egg and bacon breakfast. The last time I heard your voice, you were asking for your brother’s advice on how to cook the perfect roast potato, such a beautiful memory.
So onto the next great adventure you go. Rest easy, knowing I won’t leave Michael’s side as he navigates his way through this immeasurable grief. That is my promise to you.

Chris, Chriso, H, Hourny, big fella and great bloke!
Gonna miss you heaps but will never forget you.
All the great times.
All the great trips we went on.

Jennifer Hourn
Chris, I feel so fortunate to have been part of your life, and to experience the bond and love of your family.
Now you know what lies ahead, I’ll look forward to seeing you again.
Love always Jenn.
Robert and Julie
Chris, always so generous and welcoming. Whenever we popped over you would always say ‘would you like a beer, what would you like’. Just so down to earth, a great man. I remember like yesterday when you and Tania asked if I wanted to go with you to the Southern 80, Daryl had a crew together with his boat, a fantastic couple of days of BBQ’s and beers, just a great time. You will be sadly missed but forever in our hearts and memories.
Clasina Ferwerda
Chris, it was an honour to call you my brother (in-law). You were certainly one of a kind. Simply “THE BEST”.
I cherish all the great times we had, beer in hand of course around a fire. The world feels empty without you.
Love you and I will miss you forever.
Heartfelt condolences to Kane, Lily, Joan, Gordon, Karen, Michael and Tania.
Love Always Clasina
Sharon Holden
I would like to thank you Cuz for so many amazing memories. Our camping trips were always so much fun and you always provided the laughs. I remember the time we all went camping and you tied a dead snake to your leg with fishing line, next minute you ran through the camp yelling “Snake”, of course we couldn’t see the fishing line. Chris you will always be missed. Love ya Cuz.
James Hourn
For as long as i can remember Uncle Chris has played such an integral role in all of our lives, so many occasions spent with the family that i will always remember. He has left us too soon and its going to be hard for all of us to come back from this. We all love and miss you very much Chris

Allana Bettess
What a wonderful tribute to a special guy! I am so grateful to have been able to “attend” this celebration of Chris’ life. I would have been there in person if things were different. I didn’t know Chris well but met him a few times and found him lovely as I expected. I had heard so many good things about him from my brother-in-law Rob. To Kane & Lily, Chris’ parents, siblings and friends – may your happy memories and the support of each other give you comfort. With my sincere condolences. Allana xox
