I am sorry for the loss suffered by both families affected by this tragedy. I'm also disgusted at the people acting as though this murderer was an angelic man. His family deserves peace but he was a monster who took another life. He deserved to die as punishment.

Helen Sunday February 7, 2021 at 8:23 AM

This Family tried to take her in because the court system found it not fit to be at her mothers. This girl manipulated this Family by playing on their kind hearts and was a drug addict and along with kicking a man almost to death while he was down because her and her ex- boyfriend was trying to steal drugs from him, ( which is documented at the Wayne Co. courthouse). Then she played a victim of circumstances and her probation officer went along with it. And prior to the these two young people her probation officer was contacted to conduct a drug test and no drug testing was done and laughed about it to the mother of this young man and was just told to clean her act up before she come in for drug tests. If you think that’s not good enough the detective that was on the case refused to take the young mans phone when he wanted to drop off a box that she requested to be dropped off to her at her work which she refused and asked for him to meet her at the gas station down from her work then on the text he asked “are you setting me up” and she told him no. It’s supposedly on video that she got in his car without his permission. Now how many of you people out there making these comments have any evidence that this Family and I have that can show the proof? I assure you this will not end here !!!

Sad story I saw on Investigation Discovery. Found the episode to be negative about his mother, but it's one perspective. Only the people involved know the real story. But fact remains that he died as a murderer and that should not be something to ignore. For the live that is lost with him (even if you have no sympaty for her) , the people that she leaves behind, it would show some respect to at least mention them. R.I.P both. Remains a tragedy for him to reach this state of mind to do this.

He deserves to rot in Hell for killing Mary... His mother needs to join him because she set that situation in motion... Screw all if you.

Anna Kurt Annakut88@gmail.com Sunday July 21, 2019 at 10:20 AM

Hey Mike Lemaster do you kiss your kids and mother with that mouth ??

Anna Kutner Sunday July 21, 2019 at 10:18 AM

Do you kiss your kids and mother with that mouth ??

Mike andolini Monday July 1, 2019 at 5:09 PM

Chris may you rest is Hell .. i hope your days are filled with fire and pain. You are a abusive loser and got what you deserved . And Tina , I hope your pain is felt everyday , just think about your loser son that beat his girl . And from what I heard from various p sources that you absused her daughter ... Rest is Piss dirtbag

Rob antanucci Monday July 1, 2019 at 5:05 PM

Chris was a abusive dirtbag and his mother was a control freak dirtbag . I'm happy he's dead

Richard Monday July 1, 2019 at 5:02 PM

The devil has a flaming pitchfork up Chris’ ass., 24/7 Backward ass country fuck!!! And what’s a “whole in the ground”? Aah, WV English. May he rot in hell, hahahaha

Sue Friday May 24, 2019 at 11:40 AM

Mike Lemaster way to preach scripture and talk Such vulgar language. What a trip.

Sueli Sunday August 12, 2018 at 6:57 AM

He kill Mary?

Edgar Wright Sunday January 7, 2018 at 12:47 AM

He would probably still be here if his Mom hadn't added fuel to the fire in his relationship with his ex-fiance. The Mom actually followed the poor girl to the Huntington courthouse while she filled a Domestic Violence report, taking pictures of her with her new boyfriend and sending the photos to her son. She basically killer her son. May as well of pulled the trigger herself. Chris took that poor woman away from her daughter. Hes rotting in H E L L. His mom will join him there one day.

Ella Saturday January 7, 2017 at 3:12 AM

I just finished watching a special and learned about your son. This was very sad.

Ricky berg Rcky_berg@yahoo.com Saturday January 23, 2016 at 10:34 PM

Sorry. About your loss

Ricky berg Rcky_berg@yahoo.com Saturday January 23, 2016 at 10:28 PM

Sorry about your loss

4allwomen Friday January 8, 2016 at 11:13 PM

You have met your maker. You can no longer beat another woman, mistreat another woman or kill another woman. Your crazy mother shaped your life and in the end, shaped your demise. They say the apple don't fall too far from the tree. Controlling. Crazy. She at least got time with her son. There is a little girl growing up without a mama because of your sorry ass. Rot In Peace.

Brenda Lemaster Sunday January 4, 2015 at 7:35 PM

This has been a terrible holiday on once again with you gone. Everyday I just keep thinking you will come back. Mawmaw loves you and I am waiting to see you again.

Mom Wednesday May 29, 2013 at 12:32 PM

Just needed to face reality again for another day and realize you're really not physically here with me. You will always be with me in all the wonderful memories from your kind heart, laughter and beautiful smile. I miss seeing how much you enjoyed life, your bear hugs, you texting and calling me from work to say you loved me or your sharing something exciting that you seen or that happened. Your little guy is growing up fast and looks so much like you "I adore and love him very much". I love you and you save a place for me.

brenda lemaster Monday September 3, 2012 at 4:33 PM

Christopher Mawmaw misses you all the time. Today is extra hard being this is the date you passed away, All those feeling from that day is like it happen today. I love you so much and miss you.

Mom Monday December 26, 2011 at 1:50 AM

Another Christmas past and I missed you so very much. I often ask why and pray that one day I will understand and know what really took place that day. I love you and couldn't have ask for a better son. I miss your bear hugs, your laughter, and you walking through the door. Love you baby boy BIG Bunches!

Jessica (sister) Thursday August 18, 2011 at 6:51 PM

This is the first time I have been back on this site since your passing. It seems to bring back memories of that horrible day. Your niece is so big and she talks about you daily. She knows you through me. She calls you Uncle Chris when she talks about you! I know you loved her so much. I'll never forget the day you babysat her so I could get out and about. Remember what happened??? I still laugh about it. You have been gone for almost 2 years. My heart has not healed since the day I lost you. It will never heal. My life changed a lot on that day. I hope you are saving me a good spot! If someone else tries to take it tell them it's reserved for a very important receiver. I love you!:)

Mike Lemaster Monday July 11, 2011 at 11:43 AM

Just at work today, thinkin bout u cuz, miss your warm smile and hearing u laugh as we talked about things. Much love Chris.

Mom Saturday June 25, 2011 at 2:21 AM

Miss you so much. Love you forever.

Amy S. Thursday December 30, 2010 at 5:51 PM

Hey Chris! Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you, as I often do. I had a baby girl on thanksgiving, I named her Elaina and she is beautiful. She makes me smile, I now have my perfect little boy and my perfect little girl. I only hope that they have a realtionship like you and Jessica did. I just want to thank you for all that you did for me, all the times Jess and I would come running in your room at night because we were scared, but you wouldn't get mad, you would just scoot over and let us in bed with you. I miss those times, I miss your laugh and all the songs you would sing to me. I listen to "Joy to the world" alot because it makes me think of you, the way you would point at me and laugh when the song said, "Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea" I miss you and love you lots. I know you are watching over all of us, thank you for that. Love you broham!!

Monday November 29, 2010 at 9:55 AM

Happy Birthday Chris ~e~

Brenda Lemaster Thursday October 14, 2010 at 4:20 PM

Chris I come back often and read these and sometimes I am lost for words. It is because I am lost in a world without you. I know that you know that. I will see you before to long. I am getting old and I should be there with you. I love and miss you so much.

Mom Saturday October 2, 2010 at 6:59 PM

Can't believe it's been over a year since I lost my baby boy. The hurt will never end. I love and miss you so very very much.

sage Sunday August 22, 2010 at 5:55 PM

I never knew you but I can tell you were really loved. Your mom misses you so. May you rest in peace .

Mom Wednesday August 18, 2010 at 1:41 AM

Baby Boy: I was at your lot this evening and it felt like you were listening and knew I was there. I love you and miss you so much. I need my baby boy back.

Mawmaw Brenda Sunday August 8, 2010 at 4:38 PM

Chris Mawmaw thinks about you all the time and miss you more each day. I love you

Mom Wednesday June 30, 2010 at 3:45 PM

Missing you so much. Life isn't the same without you. I will love you till the end.

Mom Thursday May 13, 2010 at 10:43 PM

I miss you and love you so much. I need you here.

Mawmaw Brenda Saturday April 3, 2010 at 3:34 PM

Hey sweet boy. Mawmaw has you all the time so strong on my mind. Miss you this Easter, but I know your Mom misses you so much more. Thanks for holding my hand. I have been looking at pictures all day, you know they say faded memories. They are not faded and never will be. Mawmaw loves you so very much.

Mom Saturday April 3, 2010 at 2:18 PM

It's almost Easter, it's the first one I ever spent without you. I remember last Easter morning you were suppose to have your baby boy and had him a new outfit, basket and was all excited about taking him on a egg hunt that Saturday and to the church you attended on Easter morning, That never happened he didn't show up and I could see the hurt in your eyes, I will never forget that, but I talked to you as always and tried to make you understand, but under the circumstances I knew it wasn't enough, you really wanted your baby with you. I'm so sorry your plans was changed and you never got to spend not even one Easter morning with him. I know how you must have really felt now, because I'm hurting so bad knowing that I can't see you this Easter or any other. I found your letter. how strange it was...you left it in the shoebox of his first pair of shoes...I was moving things around and I picked it up to throw away, but at that time I remembered you telling me a few weeks before your passing on that you wanted to keep it, so I will keep and do as you requested. I love you and I hurt from missing you so much, You save a place for me and if you know what's going on down here you watch over your baby and family. Love you forever and will miss you till that day I'm with you

Mike Lemaster Thursday March 11, 2010 at 11:07 PM

Wednesday February 17, 2010 at 6:54 PM

Baby Boy: I miss you so very much and I know I will miss you the rest of my days on earth. You just remember to save a place for me. I guess now it doesn't matter to you if someone makes fun of you for me calling you Baby Boy because your in a better place now. I remember about a month before your leaving you looking at someone and telling them you were my Baby Boy and proud of it...I will always remember that. I love you BIG bunches and miss you more everyday.

Mawmaw bimby6@aol.com Tuesday February 9, 2010 at 8:20 PM

Valentine's Day is coming up and I will miss not getting a card from you. I have one for you. And on that day it was always sad for me because that is my Mom's birthday. So this year I am double sad. I love you so very much and for some reason I feel you know that I am writting this. So you know how my heart hurts everyday and minute missing you. I love you so much and you are always in my heart and mind.

Aunt Teresa Moore Ttbug1965@aol.com Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 6:07 PM

Hi Chris. I miss you. I have not had any crazy text messages in months. I always left that up to you. I did not go home for Thanksgiving this year. It is the first year since you and John were born that I have not been home. No bear hug no Holiday worth celebrating. I got to watch Jerry Patrick open gifts at your moms on the computer this year. He blew me a kiss and not Jessica...hahahaha! I was sure to call her and tell her. He is so cute. I am hoping to see him soon. Mommy is trying to work all of that out and when she does I am going to go see him on one of her visit days. He is really growing up. Juliana is so cute too. She misses you. You would not believe her curly hair. She looks just like your mom only dark hair. Matt got married in Sept. and John is getting married in June. Kara is in Chicago at Loyola and working at driving me crazy. She misses your friendly vegetarian jokes and you! Zeus misses you too. He is getting old so when he gets to heaven look after him for me. Do not let cookie bite him when she gets there. That should catch you up! I love and miss you!!

Mom Saturday January 2, 2010 at 8:44 PM

You were and will always be my Baby Boy. I only pray that I can continue to be part of your precious baby boys life. I promise to show him love, read to him, take him out to eat, play with him, take him for walks, even teach him to bake, give him security like a grandmother should, teach him to be proud and to show kindness to all. I know you loved and adored him because a mother can always see and feel that kind of love...I seen that love for your baby everytime you were with him. You always protected him, kept him safe and would NEVER let anyone harm him or put him in harms way. I'm so sorry it took so much time for you to get your time that you wanted and not long after that you were taken from so many people that loved and adored you including me and your precious baby boy. The holidays are gone and this was a hard time for me not being with you. I kept thinking at any time you were going to walk in and tell me what you wanted for Christmas. I guess next is my birthday and you wanted to shower me with gifts...I always told you I just wanted to spend my birthday with you and my family and that's what I want this year. I will love you forever and forever... you will always be my baby boy.

Brenda Lemaster Thursday December 31, 2009 at 1:06 PM

Chris the holidays are about gone. I hated them without you being here. This is New Year's Eve and I just wish it would go away. Your baby boy is growing up and he is so sweet. He misses his Daddy I am sure. I miss you more than you or anyone would ever know. I love you so much. Your Mother and Jessica misses you so much and we all know someday we will be with you. When God decides it is time for us to join you we will be there. I love my Big Boy.

Thursday December 31, 2009 at 1:01 PM

Chris the holidays are about over. Mawmaw hated them without you being here. This is New Years Eve, and I just want it to go away. Your Mother and Jessica misses you so much. Your baby boy Jerry Patrick is growing and so sweet. He will grow up to be a good boy like you always were. Mawmaw just wanted to say I miss you more than you would ever know.

Jason Wednesday December 2, 2009 at 11:12 PM

I know we never said it, but It was always under stood. I miss you. I wanted us to live near each other so we could go hunting and fishing a lot more often. So we could watch our families grow old. We were supposed to buy some hunting land and build a lodge on it. We were supposed to beat our kids at basketball. We planned on having a great life of simple pleasures. BBQs and Thanksgiving dinner.... steak all the time. I wanted to show you all about the great cigars were were going to smoke. I wanted you. I guess that stuff wasn't meant to be. No more Ohio State VS Marshall scenarios. No more "what should I buy?". no more " Look what I just bought". no more sleeping on the couch with Lucy on you. I just hope I might be able to have a son like you some day. You ARE my best friend. I Love you forever.

Dad (PB) Tuesday December 1, 2009 at 8:18 PM

Chris: Another season of football is coming to a close and Marshall basketball has started. Most everything has changed since you left except the emptiness in my heart and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. I love you and miss you so much. You and I had so many things in common...the least being our name and birthday. I will carry you with me in my heart and soul forever! You were truly my son in every respect. I love you and miss you. "Cookie dog misses you too".

Arden Brooks alb56@zoominternet.net Sunday November 29, 2009 at 5:07 PM

Chris was always cheerful when I went to Sams Club. I usually shop there 2 or 3 times a week. For many years that was such a pleasure to see him and talk to him about school, his Mom and Dad and see how his eyes would light up when talking about Tina and Paul. He would talk with me about his Old Chevy pick-up and his new 4-wheeler. He was always so polite and helpful to his old crippled uncle. When I went in to Sams I looked to see if he was working the register. If not I knew he would always help me with the big flat I would be pushing. He helped me to my van many times and talked about future plans. When I go to Sams Club I still look for him. It is so painful to imagine him not there. He was the type of son that I wish mine were like.

Mom Saturday November 28, 2009 at 4:56 PM

Happy Birthday to the most wonderful son any mother could have. I love you and miss you so much.

Mawmaw Friday November 13, 2009 at 10:26 AM

My Big Boy there is not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. I miss you so much and wish I could turn back the time and stop what happen. As I search for answers I am finding that it was not you that decided what would happen here. I promise you that I will make sure that all the people that hurt you will someday regret their actions. Things always come back to haunt the evil ones in this world. You were not evil, you were a loving kind hearted person. And it is on my mind all the time. I know you that you are hearing me when I am talking to you. And the answers are coming to me more and more. You have a beautiful son and some day he will know the truth about his Daddy. He will know how much you loved him and your family. I am dealing with this in the way I know how. And as they always say about me Don't Cross The Mawmaw. Mawmaw will be up to see you soon. I need to take care of some things and then I will be with you.

Mike Lemaster (Cousin) Saturday October 31, 2009 at 12:38 PM

Cousin, i think about you everyday & everyday i do i smile, i like to sit on my back porch at night before i go work & think of you & i growing up together & how i wouldnt trade any moment we've had for anything, & how i would give it all just to talk to you & give you one more big hug, Chris you might have been bigger than me, but you were still my little cousin, there's nothing i wouldnt have done to help you in any situation "NOTHING", your my family, my blood, & Home is where the Heart is, you understood that more than most, while i was in columbus,oh your were home taking care of your mom, mawmaw, pawpaw & your handsome boy of yours Jerry Patrick, which by the was looks more & more like you everyday, You would never leave your family which you loved more than anything for anything or anyone, thats just one of the many reasons im so proud to have had you in my life but more importantly as someone i could call family. if everyone could look at you & how you lived your life we could all learn how to be better people & love a little more, i remember you liked to listen to "Arron Tippin" growing up & 2 of your favorite songs were "You Got To Stand For Something or You'll Fall For Anything" and "I Got It Honest", & your sure did stand for something "Family & Integrity" and you sure did get it honest, cause you worked your butt off to have something for Jerry & to make your family proud of you, Chris let me tell you, "We Are Proud of You and Always Have Been". Hunting season is coming up soon & walkng up that old hill wont be the same this year, but as you know you'll be right there with me every step of they way & if its in the cards we'll get a big buck this year again together. I'll come visit you again soon when i come back in town, but until then I Love & Miss You Chris. Always Cousin

Carol Fuller Friday October 30, 2009 at 5:27 PM

It is so difficult to understand this - but as the saying goes "If God bring us to it - He will bring us through it". But as we know it is on His timetable - not ours. Mamaw Brenda always kept me uptodate on what was going on in Christopher's life - more so, since his beautiful son came into Chris' life and you could see all the love in his eyes in all the pictures of him and his son. Keep all the wonderful memories alive to share with his son and to help each one in the family make it through one day at a time. Love and prayers to all of you, Brenda, Big Larry, Tina, Jessica and all the family.

Mom Sunday October 25, 2009 at 7:16 PM

Baby Boy: I miss you more every day, the only comfort I have is knowing your at peace and I will be with you again. You were my hope and dreams. I love you BIG bunches!!!

Aunt Betty Friday October 23, 2009 at 9:53 AM

I remember when God sent you into this world how happy your mom and mamaw were and of course when they were happy so was I. I remember watching you at your mawmaws with your sister you were such a special child. It was so easy to see that you were such a caring and loving person always loving from your heart and with ALL your heart. As time has passed you turned into such a special young man, you touched so many hearts in the few short years you were with us. One of the many things you did in your life was to become a father and again you blessed all who loves you with a beautiful baby boy. If ever a father loved his son it was plain to see you did. Sometimes words can't explain the way people feel, but for those of us that were blessed enough to see you with Jerry Patrick no words were neccessary it was written all over the glow in your face and the pride in your eyes when you looked at him. Your passing has left a hole in so many hearts, but, I hope that hole will soon be filled with all the many, many caring, loving and sometimes funny memories that only you could have left us with. We love you Chris and miss you. Aunt Betty

PJ Curry pjcurry4ever@live.com Monday October 12, 2009 at 9:03 PM

Dear Tina and Brenda, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved Son and Grandson. I wish I had some magic words that would mend your broken hearts. This is a pain that only Time and God can take away. I hurt for you and I pray that Peace and Understanding will come quickly. Day by day each pain will be replaced by a Beautiful memory on Chris. He was a very handsome young man. It saddens me to the bottom of my heart that his life was ended too soon. Maybe God needed another Angel in Heaven. I'm so sorry that I never met him and don't know my cousins the way I should. Time has seperated our family in miles but not in my Heart. I do love you. God Be with You All Love and Prayers

Uncle Larry Lemaster Sunday October 11, 2009 at 9:41 PM

IN HONOR OF MY NEPHEW CHRIS HARLESS, MY SISTER TINA'S ANGEL. When a child is born, as a parent all we hope and ask for is may God let him or her be healthy. In you Chris God gave us a handsome healthy young boy. As your uncle Larry son, I had the prievalage to watch you grow into a decent, fine, great hearted young man.I always will remember all you wanted to achieve in life on a personal basis and will forever be proud of you for those. You went to school and worked so hard for it all to happen for you. And yes Chris, the ball games we went to and watched together may not have always ended the way we wanted, but it was the time we spent together that mattered the most. I'll always remember the wild circus holidays, like Little Johnny said. We would eat and then run for the tv downstairs at mamaws and hide and watch the games alone alot. Thanks for Jerry Patrick. Your precious angel is going to look just like you son. I hope he grows up to be as great hearted as you are. I have been told my whole life at work, in sports, etc. that we can be replaced. Well, this is so not true in my heart or mind. You my sweet nephew can never be replaced. I always will love you and will never forget you. Uncle Larry.

Matt Moore Friday October 9, 2009 at 4:25 PM

For twenty five years I had the honor of knowing Christopher as both a family member and a friend. As you read the comments of others you quickly remember the legacy he leaves with all of us. The memories I have remain vivid and I can only hope to share those memories with Jerry Patrick, my favorite Aunt Tina, Jessica, and all his other family members and friends. From playing basketball at the Marshall gym, tossing the football in the front yard, shooting pool, and pretending that I understood him when he talked about fishing and hunting, he always put a smile on my face. Many words have been used to describe Christopher, but there are three that stand out most. First, he loved all his family and friends. The bond he had with his mother, sister, best friend, son, grandparents, and all other family members was inspirational and encourages me daily to grow closer to the family I love. It is a lesson all of us should take from him. Second, he was tough. Chris was one of the most physically and emotionally strong people I have ever met. Third, he was funny. As you read other comments you learn Christopher loved to play pranks and jokes on individuals. In addition, he left me crying from laughter on many occasions with his words and actions (i.e. the famous dog track story). While sadness is an appropriate response to losing a loved one or a friend, so is honoring the life that he lived and the smiles he put on our faces. They always say that time heals, but I prefer to say that memories heal. While Chris is not physically with us, I think about him constantly, find new inspirations in life through him, and most importantly I know he loves me, supports me, and is still there to help in times of need. You were quite a special cousin and I will continue to see you daily in my thoughts and prayers, and try to find a hunting or fishing for dummies book to give me when we meet again in Heaven.

Jennifer jwileman77@gmail.com Friday October 9, 2009 at 12:49 AM

I am very fortunate and truly blessed to have gotten to be a small part of Christopher's life. I met Chris four years ago through his uncle Larry. Every time I think of Chris I think of what a nice, polite, and respectful young man he was. Year after year of family gatherings I never knew what to expect from his family members. When it came to Chris I never had to wonder or think twice. He was that polite, and respectful person I mentioned earlier. The thing that stands out most in my mind about Chris is what a great father he was to his son. I work with children and this is not an attribute I get to see often. I deeply admired him for this. Every time I saw Chris with his son, he would be holding him close, always a smile on his face. You could see the special bond they had, it was always so evident. Jerry Patrick was his world. By going through this tragedy with Chris's family it is very evident of how much he was loved. If you knew Chris you would understand why. Sometimes we wonder why things happen to great and wonderful people, especially when they are our loved ones. God has a plan for all of us and I know that Chris is in good hands. Tina, Jessica, and all of Christopher's family, I am so very sorry for the loss of such a wonderful young man. Always know that I am here for you guys. I love you all so much. Christopher will remain in my heart.

Christopher, I miss you so much every day. You are my brother and my best friend. I have so many memories of us. I remember being the first one to wake up on Christmas morning and coming straight to your bedroom and waking you up so we could go and wait by the Christmas tree until mom and Paul got up. I remember we would always peek in our stockings and then act like we had no clue what was in the stockings. I remember you coming into my room and crawling in my bed so we could talk and laugh. You always ended up sleeping next to me. I loved every moment of it. Oh, and you and I flying down the stairs (mom still does not believe that, but we know the truth.) We were always by each others sides and watched each other grow up and life happen. I'll never forget the night you told me that you and Jerra are going to have a baby. I was excited and could not wait to watch you be a dad. I was in awe when I seen you holding your baby and loving him. You were a wonderful daddy. You left us a part of you to watch grow up and to love. When I look at Jerry Patrick I see you all over again. I thank God that I had 25 wonderful years to spend with you. My heart is broken but I know you're in a better place and God needed you. I love you more than you could ever imagine. I will try my best to do what is right and be faithful to the Lord so that I can one day see you again.

For twenty five years I had the honor of knowing Christopher as both a family member and a friend. As you read the comments of others you quickly remember the legacy he leaves with all of us. The memories I have remain vivid and I can only hope to share those memories with Jerry Patrick, my favorite Aunt Tina, Jessica, and all his other family members and friends. From playing basketball at the Marshall gym, tossing the football in the front yard, shooting pool, and pretending that I understood him when he talked about fishing and hunting, he always put a smile on my face. Many words have been used to describe Christopher, but there are three that stand out most. First, he loved all his family and friends. The bond he had with his mother, sister, best friend, son, grandparents, and all other family members was inspirational and encourages me daily to grow closer to the family I love. It is a lesson all of us should take from him. Second, he was tough. Chris was one of the most physically and emotionally strong people I have ever met. Third, he was funny. As you read other comments you learn Christopher loved to play pranks and jokes on individuals. In addition, he left me crying from laughter on many occasions with his words and actions (i.e. the famous dog track story). While sadness is an appropriate response to losing a loved one or a friend, so is honoring the life that he lived and the smiles he put on our faces. They always say that time heals, but I prefer to say that memories heal. While Chris is not physically with us, I think about him constantly, find new inspirations in life through him, and most importantly I know he loves me, supports me, and is still there to help in times of need. You were quite a special cousin and I will continue to see you daily in my thoughts and prayers, and try to find a hunting or fishing for dummies book to give me when we meet again in Heaven. Love, Matt

In 1960 Larry Lemaster and Brenda Lemaster were married. In 1961 we had our sweet baby boy. Then in 1963 we had another redhead but this time our darling little girl. And the in 1965 God gave us another beautiful redhead girl. Oh how we both loved these babies. Being young we played with them and grew up with them. And yes they grew up to be wonderful adults and loving each other. As they got married we started having grandchildren. and we was blessed with eight of them. Then we realized there was nothing that could explain the love you feel for grandchildren, How we adore each and everyone of them. The time we spent with them was always a pleasure, a gift that we would never have dreamed of when our children were young. Then these children started growing up, going to school, then collage and becoming adults. Gee we thought we are getting old. They are still growing up and some are married and they have given us three beautiful great grandchildren. So here we are a happy family and spent the holidays together and all special events. And talked with each other daily. Then on September the 3rd God took one of them away from us. We never think something like this can happen to us. Oh we see it in the paper and feel sorry for the people that has to lose their loved ones but not us. He took our big boy Christopher. And the pain we both feel is unexplainable. Our perfect little family has been broken and will never be able to be repaired. I know you are not suppose to question God but I do wish God would have taken us before he took any of our babies. When you get older you expect to die, I say a natural process of life. You don't expect to lose your young ones. Chris if you called your Pawpaw or Mawmaw this morning the first thing you would say is Hey Pawpaw or Mawmaw what are you doing? Those words will forever ring in our ears. And to answer you today we both are thinking of you. We will be thinking of you until we see you again. We both love you so very much. And there is no way to explain how much we miss you and will for the rest of our lives. you Mawmaw Brenda

Jerra Wednesday October 7, 2009 at 11:28 PM

What to say???? Humm... I worked with Chris for many years but really never noticed him or even talked to him until about my 4th year. We became close friends quickly and yes I was attracted to him even asked if he had been working out! We began to come close quickly. He was always playing jokes on me and being naughty. We were at work so it was a hiding game. Then we became much more then friends and had this bond I could never explain. I soon met his family that he loved sooooo much! I did see that he felt the same about me. Soon after we married and found out that we were going to have a baby! Right after I took the test he called his mom and sister in the middle of the night. They are so importian to him. Chris and I didn't always see eye to eye and went different ways. But we always had a bond and part of that was Jerry Patrick. He fought and fought hard to get the most time he could with him and did. I know he loved him and always will. With this loss I have been taking it day by day. Doing what my heart feels is right. I'm going to raise my son the best I can and hope to make all of us proud! Chris you are sadly missed. In the future I know I will see you at the golden gates.

Kara Moore Wednesday October 7, 2009 at 4:04 PM

Nothing I say will ever be able to explain how much I love you Chris. Shocking coming from me, right? I would rather run and attack you with a hug at work to make things awkward for you or pick a fight than say "I love you." I wish I would have taken at least ten seconds to stop and let you know what you mean to me, but we never really had that kind of a relationship. You were like another big brother to me, someone to pick on and someone to pick on me right back. I don't know what I will do at MawMaw's in another month without you there to make a smartbutt comment about hunting, and to retort with an equally sarcastic remark about animal rights. I know you will be with all of us on Thanksgiving as you are with all of us right now. You are pulling everyone through this in very particular ways from heaven, because I know you and I know you hate the pain everyone is feeling. You are still pouring out love onto all of us even though you aren't right here. For me, it came in the car with my mommy and MawMaw. They were talking about you, and even though nobody noticed I began to cry. All of a sudden I felt you right there saying in an ever so playful way, "You're too tough to cry Kara! Suck it up." Even now you're still making me smile. For every missed opportunity to say it-I love you.

Uncle John Moore Wednesday October 7, 2009 at 11:07 AM

Chris was...well...Chris! He stayed true to being himself and was confident in his ways. His physical size masked the real inner kid that he was. I can't remember a time that Chris did not have a smile on his face or enjoy being around family and friends. He was a great son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and DAD. Jerry Patrick brought out even more love from Chris. I know that Chris would not have willingly left his son, mother, sister, grandparents and others behind. He loved them all too much. And while we will always have an empty place in our hearts, we have such wonderful memories to draw upon to help fill that void. I know Chris is in a much better place now and that God saw the need for such a fine person to join him in heaven. The time will come that we will all meet again. Until then, we must keep the memories of Chris alive and focus on the great person he was so that we can move forward each day and help Jerry Patrick know the father and person that Chris embodied. I love you Chris.

Johnny Moore Wednesday October 7, 2009 at 10:46 AM

Chris, it seems not too long ago we were all together for Thanksgiving. JP was being a handful so I picked him up, which was strange because at that moment in time I didn't care for babies, and they didn't care for me, but he and I clicked. You came over to see if I were OK. There is so much of JP in you. I miss you. I'll always miss you. There was always something about you that made me happy to be around you. I'm going to miss playing cards and basketball with you. I'm going to miss throwing the football around with you and Uncle Larry at Thanksgiving. I have learned so much from you Chris, and even now, you have awaken part of me that will forever change me for the better. You have always been one of my favorite people, and I just wish we had more time together. Oh, and don't worry, your mom still doesn't know about the night at the Dog Track : ) Maybe one day we'll all sit her down and tell her. I love you Chris.

Larry Lemaster Tuesday October 6, 2009 at 2:07 PM

In loving memory of my grandson Christopher Harless. There are not enough words that I could put together to express how much I love my Grandson Christopher Harless. He was always delightful and fun to be around. His big smile and gentle heart will always stand out in my daily thoughts of him. Among the many things that can bring a smile to my face is his phone calls. They always started out with Pawpaw what are you doing? We would talk a while then he would say why he really called. He would say Pawpaw when are you going to make me some chili. He always loved my chili and I loved making it for him and visiting with him when he came to get it. I always loved going to the Marshall games with him he loved the Thundering Herd. And we always enjoyed those times together. My grandson was always a good boy growing up. And never gave us any problems. As he grew into a young man and a father things did not change. He was always smiling and friendly to and good to everyone he met. And was always helpful, all you had to do was ask and Chris would be there to lend a hand. He was truly a loving and caring young man. Always thinking of others. Willing to help no matter what the task might be. He loved his family so much as we loved him. His very special love for his son Jerry Patrick will always stand out in my thoughts. He adored that baby as he should. When Jerry Patrick was with him you never had to look far he was always in his Daddy's arms. Chris was loving and caring about all his family all the time. Chris I miss you and will always take you with me wherever I go or whatever I am doing. You will be with Pawpaw until I join you and we meet again. I love you and miss you so much. Love Pawpaw Lemaster

I miss Chris more than anyone will know. We loved to fish together, he could never catch a fish. But he sure had enough tackle to weigh the boat down. I loved seeing him come over. And when he would come around to cut the grass I would laugh because his Mawmaw and me would keep him so busy talking to him we would never get it all done. That was ok because we just wanted to be with him. I would hear his Mawmaw say hey don't do anything come in here with me and they would sit and talk. He loved following me around and seeing what I was making. How could I ever explain how much he is missed, how much he was loved, how good of a person he was. This family has lost a young man than no other could replace. I loved him that is about all that is left to say. I wish I could have him around to punch me in the stomach again that was his way of showing me he loved me too.

Mom Thursday October 1, 2009 at 9:17 AM

Baby Boy "I know that you are 25 but you never stopped being my baby boy. I know if your were here with me you would be telling me mom it's going to be ok, but truth is I don't know, I hope in time it will be bearable. I miss you so much and that will never change, I miss your bear hugs, you laying your head on my shoulder, peeping in on you and your baby when he is sleeping right on top of you, I miss your beautiful smile, I miss your playful ways, I miss going out to eat with you and watching how much you enjoyed it, I miss seeing you play with your baby and protect him, I miss your phone calls and text, I miss seeing you getting ready for hunting season, and playing with Cookie and giving her treats when you thought I wasn't paying attention, I even miss fussing at you and trying to make you see things my way, Their is so much to miss because you were such a wonderful, smart, caring, loving, beautiful son, brother, grandson, dad and friend to so many. I love you BIG bunches and miss you so much!!!!!

Aunt Teresa Ttbug1965@aol.com Wednesday September 23, 2009 at 5:46 PM

Chris was Aunt Teresa's big bear huger. He was my boy! I loved to joke and tease with him. Sometimes we drove his mom crazy with the things we would text. It is safe to say we did not know when to quit. He was as sweet with Jerry Patrick as he was rotten with his cousin Kara. They were always into it over something. I will miss my hug at Thanksgiving this year and every year after. I am going to teach Jerry Patrick to hug like that so in a few years I can have my hugs back through his little boy.

Brenda Lemaster bimby6@aol.com Monday September 14, 2009 at 9:04 AM

No words could ever explain how my heart is broken over My Big Boy Chris not being here. I keep waiting for him to call and say Mawmaw I am coming over to cut your grass. Or him to play some kind of joke on me. He loved his family so much and his little boy Jerry Patrick. I have no answer for any of us what happen. I know something went wrong that day. He was a loving boy to his whole family and his freinds. Anyone that knew Chris knew him a a good guy. He did not drink, smoke or do drugs. His Mother raised both her children to be good kids. His one thing in life is when he loved he did it with all his heart and sometimes there are people in this world that uses and abuses this kind of love. Which was in his case. Chris is not really gone from me because I have him so strong in my heart. And I know his Mother does and he will be with her the rest of his life. I know when he left my house that morning and went to his Mother's he was in a good mood. Giving us both a big hug and kiss and saying he loved us. This is something all my grandchildren does. He talked about fishing with Bob since the boat was ready. He laughed and talked. What ever happen that day was not anything he thought would happen. But something did happen and I know he is with God. He is a peace and he is watching over all of us. It does not seem fair when you are my age to out live the young, but there is nothing we can do about it. All I can do is wait my turn and pray I will be with him in heaven. God knows my heart and he will take care of all of us. I love my Big Boy and will carry him in my heart until the end of my life. I pray that my daughter and his sister Jessica can find some peace in thier hearts. I love them so much. His Mawmaw Brenda

I think back to the boy I remember and see a man in his place. When mom told me the news I felt my insides sink. Wishing I was not looking into the face of an innocent boy I remember. My God...your God will, with time, bring peace upon you. I love you guys and miss you and Chris.

Kristina Clay Monday September 7, 2009 at 7:52 PM

I am so sorry to hear about Chris. I went to school and graduated with him, he was always the most sweetest, kindest person you can ever meet. My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family.

Mike Lemaster Monday September 7, 2009 at 5:34 PM

To my family, you all already know how I feel & how sorry I am. Chris I will always miss you, there will never be a time im at a Marshall game, fishing, or in the woods during hunting season that I will not think of you. We were best of cousins/friends & you will live on forever in me through memory & love. As babies we played in the play pen together, our moms had us in the tub together, as boys we played basketball & football, went to marshall games & collected all types of sports cards, as young men we went fishing & hunting, both of us got married & had families of our own, but even though we lived so far apart we always made time to check on each other, when I came to town we always tried our best to get together but reguardless of the event Chris you always made me feel like a brother instead of a cousin, i feel so blessed to have had you in my life, so blessed to have had 25 yrs with you & in those 25 yrs obtained a lifetime of memories, you were a wonderful son, a great grandson, & a loving father, you were 1st class all the way & they dont come anymore classy than you, your gentle heart warms mine & all the hearts of the family because we know the wonderful boy we knew in life is standing with jesus & we will see you again soon. I Love You Always Chris, Thank You For Always Being You.
