he was a very nice man he has a 6 month old baby and a wife he diserves more than that
#5.1 Beth on 06/07/10 at 10:35 AM
You look at it the right way, that he has a family and he is a human being and no one deserves to die that way. His past is his past!

I hope as everyone speculates and wonders about this situation, you take the time to speak to the young people in your life about the dangers of drugs. Most likely this was a drug related crime and while he didn't die from drugs, they were indirectly responsible. Of course, because details have not been given, this is SPECULATION on my part, but it still can be used as a teachable moment for young people. More people are on drugs than people realize. Rich or poor, young or old, crazy or sane,,,,,,anyone can fall into the trap of drug addiction.

Rich or poor, young or old, crazy or sane,,,,,,anyone can fall into the trap of drug addiction. This is very true. Reid rd. is usually a very quiet area were the only thing you have to complain about is deer or rabbits getting in your garden or shrubs.

There should be a state approved open season on drug dealers, similar to deer season. You can ambush them from your stand and the sheriff will file no charges. In fact, get enough and you might get a good citizen medal or atleast a gift certificate to Wings & Things.

They Should Count. Scumbags--anything for a buck.

#13.1 peg on 07/11/10 at 01:12 PM
you can't necessarily call someone loving and caring if you put your family in harm's way! If you choose a life of drugs that is what follows you. I hope it's not true,but even if you have a drug past violence sometimes will follow!God bless the innocent!
#14 ? on 06/08/10 at 08:50 AM
what was he doing on reid road ? where there is a known meth lab who knows hmmm
#14.1 Anonymous on 06/21/10 at 06:17 AM
what does it matter whether or not he, or anyone is on that road? Just because there was a known meth lab, doesn't mean that's what he was going, or doing. So, anyone going down that road is looking for meth, huh? You can't underestimate people just because of their past. Yea, he has a past drug issue, but so what?
#14.1.1 Anonymous on 07/05/10 at 06:31 PM
yeah that meth will make you a hard worker! you can work hard for days with no sleep. amazing!!!
#15 jj on 07/10/10 at 08:10 PM
its so sad that there is a lil crack dealing killer still running loose on pike county streets.i think that the police need to start raiding the crack houses all around cause it is so simple to see the people out doing what they do.this guy needs to be found and get the deaf sentence that he deserves.and i hope it eats him alive everyday knowing he killed such a good guy.may you rip chris!!!!
