Hello…
It is with a 💔 that I revise this fundraising effort. As some of you may know, Chris passed away unexpectedy last Sunday. Thank you to all who donated and sent well wishes his way. He was so touched and blown away by the kindness and generosity of his friends here at Rosemeade and his family and friends outside of Rosemeade. It helped him tremendously during a rough time!
Now understanding better the depth of love and caring he had for his family, in his honor I’ve decided to reactivate his GiveaHand account for their benefit and with their permission. The heartbreak they feel is beyond words.
Chrid was an anchor in his family! He leaves behind his brother James, who is legally blind and lived with him, his widowed mother, older brother, sister, nieces and nephews. After meeting each of them this past week I realized that they all have a bit of Chris in them. They are amazing and kind people!
It is important to note that this fundraiser has nothing to do with the Rosemeade Apartments or his employer, theConAm Organization. It is a way for family and friends of Chris to pool resources if they so choose to help in this form. Please direct questions or concerns my way, or to Chris’ family if you are connected in that way.
Chris’ mother wanted all Rosemeade residents to know how deeply he cared about his job and the people he served! He worried and fretted daily about everyone’s needs, and whether they were being taken care of in his absence. Chris was scheduled and anxious to return to work on Monday, but tragically that was not to be.
Thank you again to those who donated to Chris during his absence while recovering from ankle surgery, and know that there is no pressure to donate again and no pressure for anyone to donate. These funds will help Chris’ family during a very difficult and substantial life transition. Thank you!
R.I.P. Dear Chris 🙏🏼🩵🪽 Christopher Michael Whitlaw 1984 ~2024

3d agoChris was such a wonderful soul and I was so sad to hear about his passing. He lived downstairs from me for a year and not only helped me numerous times, but made me laugh. He was such a great person and we were so lucky to have him in our lives. Sending all of my prayers to his family.

2w agoI am deeply saddened by this. He was such a nice guy and would always do extra for me. He was excited when I gave him my broom because he liked it when he swept the gloor after working under the sink.

3w agoI am so heartbroken over the news of Chris’ passing. He has been my downstairs neighbor the last few years and I’ve gotten to know him. He was always so friendly, kind and generous. I felt safer here in this building knowing he was right downstairs. I know he loved astronomy, one night he looked at the moon through our telescope with us! I hope that he has now found his peace among the stars above us. Sending love to his mom and the rest of his family ❤️
