This sounds like a hit. Did he recently roll over on someone?

We have the best most outstanding Sheriff's Department in the south. Let them do their work.

I think you are being sarcastic. If not, you are smoking something.

Wish I could take credit.

#1.2.1.1.1 Dana B on 06/07/10 at 08:24 AM

you wish you could take credit.. maybe you did do it maybe you should sit behind bars.... sounds like guilt to me.. rude so plain out rude.. its all ok for it will come back on you... dont think you dont have a loved one with a past.. no one deserves what he got, no one... he was a good man... easy though to sit at a computer and judge huh...

How in the world can people laugh at the death of another???? I know there are some sick people in the world, but to laugh at death is as sick as killing another. People like those of you mocking this are no better than any drug addict or murderer out there, you must be really sick and pathetic excuses for human beings with brains smaller than bacteria and a heart as black and slimey as rotted meat infested with maggots!

#1.2.1.1.2.1 Anonymous on 07/05/10 at 12:23 AM

These people are truly pathetic. God is watching you "gossipers"... Your own lives are so un-fulfilling, that many of you sit here, article after article (and most of you...ARE hitting just about EVERY article), month after month, saying the most uneducated and heartless things. If you had SO much knowledge about all the things you speak of, you probably wouldn't be living in such a dead-end town, making the few little dollars that you do! I guess you don't know any better. What you NEED to worry about, is that you settled for not a lot in life (OBVIOUSLY, living in PIKE CO...yeah, let's just say: you settled!)and figure out how to GET A LIFE! A life of your very own and quit being busy-bodies and smacking your gums (probably all you have anyways....) so much! You look like (and most likely ARE) miserable human beings...just breeding (cause' you have NOTHING ELSE besides "blogging", TO DO!

Meth kills..it takes you further than you want to go, it keeps you longer than you want to stay..meth kills

#2.1 v smith on 06/06/10 at 06:07 AM

meth has never killed anyone, people choosing to take meth have killed themselves with it.

it's time to put the blame where it belongs. on the people doing the drugs not the drugs themselves.

people need to start taking responsibility for their own actions.

#2.1.1 Anonymous on 06/07/10 at 02:47 PM

meth is made from trash, it rots your teeth and your insides, it makes your heart work double time, it puts you in such a state of mind you will keep taking it even if you havent eaten in days, you will steal to get means to get more meth, you will sell you body if that what it takes to get more meth..meth kills one way or another...it kills. Like I said, it will take you further than you want to go, it will keep you longer than you want to stay. If you never try it you will not want more. Be warned

#2.1.1.1 v smith on 06/08/10 at 05:13 AM

all the same, meth didn't do it, the person taking it did

#2.2 Sheila Tolley on 06/06/10 at 08:12 AM

That is a profound and well stated quote. I will reuse it. And claim it like I did the Star Spangled Banner.

#2.2.1 sister of the victim on 06/09/10 at 08:38 AM

look I am this victim's sister. It would be greatly appreciated if you would keep ur negative comments to ur self. If you had half a heart or brain you would think about what you say before you say it. Yeah my brother did stuff in his past that he did regret. But you or anybody else knows why he did meth. God is the only one who can judge him. We lost our mom at a very young age and it affected him. Maybe it was the fact that it was at the hands of someone else. He was a great person. He loved his family. Although I do not use drugs or drink or smoke I do not think I am better than anyone especially my brother. He was not killed over drugs and yeah meth kills so does ignorance. So instead of praying for my family I will have my pastor and family praying for you. One thing I know is you don't have to live a perfect life to go to heaven. If my brother asked God for forgiveness before he died it was granted. And I believe in my heart because unlike you I know my brother he asked for forgiveness. Everybody makes mistakes in life no matter how perfect you think you are you must have some kind of flaw about yourself to get on here and make these comments. I am actually going to school to become a crime scene investigator and I hope it never happens to anyone you love. If it does you won't see me on here making assumptions but, that is the difference between a person who knows when and when not to say things that can hurt others. I know you have been told if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. For my brother I love you and I miss you and I knew you and I know you didn't deserve this and i'll watch over your baby girl I promise. And one more thing to you sheila why you worried about drugs hurting people you need to remember the one who murdered my brother is still out there and while you only see the fact that he was in trouble for drugs in the past he has never been convicted of a violent crime. I bet the one who did this has. And while your so into it why don't you look at the dates on the bottom this was the last time he was in trouble. Although I didn't owe you an explanation I didn't do it for you I did it for my brother.

#2.2.1.1 Rev. Sheila Tolley on 06/09/10 at 10:36 AM

Too long to read past the first sentence. If my brother had been murdered, I would not be on a blog. I also could not CARE LESS what anyone else had to say. My heart felt love is for a very small number , but absolutely UNCONDITIONAL.

#2.2.1.2 i would be quiet on 06/09/10 at 10:48 AM

melissa and margie both. if i were you i would not get to mean the real facts may come out

Sheila,

You really ARE a bored, pathetic woman...aren't you????? You must make a fine example in your home. LOL!!!!

#3 nd1muir@yahoo.com on 06/06/10 at 07:09 AM

See who the photo is courtesy of? It is kind of obvious he has or had a past history of trouble.

#4 chris on 06/06/10 at 01:57 PM

Does anybody know what kind of car he was driving?

#4.1 erica davis on 06/06/10 at 08:54 PM

-who cares what he did in his pass, chris was a good person great father great uncle and good friend.he was the type who would do for anyone no matter who they were. He didn't deserve to leave this earth the way he did. No one does. To his family (which is close friends of mine) do know u all are in my prayers and here if u need me for anything. To whoever has negative comments about the situtation keep them to yourself out of respect for his family and loved ones they don't need that at a time like this and to whoever did this or knows anything about this needs to come clean about it all. Its only the right thing to do. I hope they catch this muederer we have running around free and give him the max penalty for the hurt and pain they have caused to his family and friends.keep in mind they took him from a precious little girl of his that wasn't even one years old also from several neices and nephews who loved him dearly. WHOEVER DID THIS COME CLEAN OR TELL WHAT U KNOW!!!!!!! PLEASE...

Are you Tracy Davis' daughter?

#4.1.2 Sheila Tolley on 06/07/10 at 11:01 AM

You asked, who cares what he did in his past? Here is who cares. The loved ones of the kids that he convenienced with drugs. Yes, it is sad. It is also sickening when the drug dealers and takers always get pity for their death, praise for their good heart and prayers for their hereafter. Don't pity the kid he left behind, God has a reason..remember, what did he give to you that makes him have a good heart, drugs? The sad thing in America is this....when a problem becomes big enough to collect revenue...we make it illegal...example cell phones. When it becomes so big that the law cannot enforce it..example speed limits...then the law goes in the opposite direction and hunts the ones who impede traffic. ENOUGH SORRY PEOPLE CAN GET ANYTHING THEY WANT TO BECOME LAW IN THE UNITED STATES TO BE LAW. as the elected officials become sorrier, the easier it becomes. Ex...obama. There will be no such thing as ILLEGAL immigrants in the United States when obama dies or leaves office. The only reason he is alive this long is because Satan and Allah are fussing over who gets him. Maybe they will hold the court somewhere besides the United States so he will not die of old age first. To Hell with meth, meth users, meth makers, meth sellers........yes indeed, it could be someone that I love...but I pray not. I made bad choices in my youth, everyone has, just learn from them. No one is going to pay or pray you into Heaven. Your heart will be judged not your will that you leave behind. We did not build rehab centers because we had extra land in the U.S. We built them because we have too many drug addicts. The law of supply and demand. Who would the cartels sell to if people did not take drugs? Quit blaming the dealers...blame the takers. Good day.

#4.1.2.1 deana s on 06/07/10 at 08:00 PM

OK UR NOT GOD . AND NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE A DEATH LIKE THIS . IT DOESNT MADDER HIS PAST . HE LIFT BEHIND ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO LOVED HIM DEARLY . U JUST NEED TO KEEP UR RUDE COMMENTS TO UR SELT

Keep yours to your SELT. Birds of a feather......

#4.1.2.1.3 Sheila Tolley on 06/08/10 at 10:33 AM

You live by the meth, you die by the meth. Or, do you think the local Pastor of the church may have shot him? Maybe Mother Teresa came back from her grave and shot him? Who was that methed man?

#4.1.2.2 Anonymous on 07/04/10 at 07:54 PM

Too long to read past the first sentence.... YOU should be ashamed of the way you have treated THIS blog. HORRIBLE!

#5 Anonymous on 06/06/10 at 02:14 PM

Regardless of his past history, we do not know what happened or what led to him being killed. Once again, we should be praying for his family and loved ones instead of judging and criticizing.

#5.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/06/10 at 07:51 PM

I cannot wait until tomorrow so I can get back to you on this. I am too tired now.

#5.1.1 Anonymous on 06/07/10 at 08:05 AM

Looks like He rondevued with his supplier,which He probably owed money to, and the supplier decided to cut his losses.

#6 take a second look on 06/06/10 at 07:38 PM

He is the age of my own son. In his eyes I see fear and the eyes are tearing up. He's trying to hold it together for the picture. Somewhere he has a family who is sickened to have lost a loved one this way. Probably got strung out on the drugs and lost his way. This boy could been the son of any of us. I agree with #5.

#7 Sheila Tolley on 06/07/10 at 07:44 AM

Don't confuse fear and tears with the lovely "meth glaze."

#7.1 Anonymous1 on 06/07/10 at 12:33 PM

If you see, he is wearing a GA Dept of Corrections jump suit. This isn't his "mug" shot or a picture taken right after he was convicted of anything. It was taken at the prison after his conviction and sentence has had time to set in it is definatly not a "meth glaze"
No one deserves to die by the hand of another person. Most of you do not know how he lived his life. Who are you to judge him for his actions. No one on this earth is free from sin.

#7.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/08/10 at 10:26 AM

When you go to his funeral be sure to sign the book as Anonymous1. We would hate for Anonymous2 to suck up the credit for your respect.

#7.2 Anonymous on 06/07/10 at 08:51 PM

I guess you and everyone in your family are just perfect and have no faults. You need prayer also because you are always on here making negative comments about people and their situations. It doesn't matter if he was on meth or whatever, he did not deserve for his life to be taken like that. You should consider other people's feeling like his family and friends before you make certain comments.

#8 O.M.G. on 06/07/10 at 09:11 AM

Something Awful Happend in Pike Co and it wasn't by anyone staying at Prayer Mountain.

{{{{ HUGE SARCASM }}}

#8.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/07/10 at 11:52 AM

No one stays at Prayer Mountain (Teen Challenge) they just check in and escape. Bye-Bye.

#8.2 2 Tall on 06/07/10 at 01:26 PM

you know now that you put it that way, i think we should open a prison next to your house.

i mean what could go wrong with that?

#8.2.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/07/10 at 02:11 PM

Probably just a negative influence on the little convicts.

#9 Anonymous on 06/07/10 at 09:38 AM

I LOVE YOU CHRIS AND WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN MY HEART. I WISH I COULD UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED.BUT I CAN'T AND I CAN'T SLEEP. I HOPE WHO EVER DID THIS BURNS IN HELL

#9.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/07/10 at 02:17 PM

It is not the first hit of drugs or the last hit that kills people...it is all those in between.

Rest In Peace Chris.... Love Always your little cousin.... May God Bless your little girl and the rest of your family!!

Sheila you say some real crazy sh@t on here, but I have to agree with you on this one.

#11.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/08/10 at 10:21 AM

Thank you ANON. I guess I do say some crazy stuff on the blogs. Even more sad, I truly mean every bit of it.

#12 peg on 06/07/10 at 04:51 PM

to the person who said meth never killed anyone, it sounds like you may have a serious problem! meth is one of the worst and quickest drugs to destroy anyone!Look at someone who has been on meth for a little while .It ages people terribly and destroys their life and the people around them! Please use common sense. life should mean more to all of us!

#13 ANON Nymous on 06/08/10 at 12:51 AM

I sure wish some of these "adults" on here would 1. Learn to spell and punctuate since im supposing most of you have atleast an 8th grade education, and 2. Quit fighting over idiotic stuff like this. He is dead, there is nothing we can about it, just let him rest in peace and let his family grieve. Go find something constructive to do.

#13.1 fat bass tard on 06/08/10 at 05:20 AM

Wow...it seems even as adults, a majority are so juvenile. You guys could REALLY use some form of SOMETHING more useful to do with your time, there in that small nowhere town. Absolutely so sad...

#13.2 Carol on 06/08/10 at 09:28 AM

Practice what you type, see how you spelled atleast in your own post. It should be at least. It's easier to make a typo than you think. It's not about correct spelling or punctuation it's about how your keyboard works while you're thinking about what you're typing. So no more grammar lessons please.
Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

#13.2.1 Anonymous on 07/04/10 at 08:08 PM

I disagree...

If a person is going to send a message to others, the parties on the receiving end should be able to tell what you are talking about "at least". Proper grammar, punctuation and spelling deliver EXACTLY what you are trying to relate. Thus, leaving NO room for confusion. If you have an abundance of errors, how is the reader to know what you mean????

SO annoying!

#13.3 Sheila Tolley on 06/08/10 at 10:28 AM

Where is the age of the writer reflected on blogs?

Have you heard about the new meth lab at Colonial Motel in Thomaston? Check it out. Opened to the public yesterday. It doesn't bring much employment to Upson, but their sales were great. Thomastn Times.

#16 mama D on 06/09/10 at 08:22 AM

Don't you people have anything better to do then put your stupid comments on here. This family is going through so much,have some respect for them and yourself and keep your comments to yourself.If you don't have something nice to say DON"T say anything at all.

#16.1 Pike Patriot Homeowner on 06/09/10 at 12:21 PM

Pleeze. I have cautioned everyone before. Wes alls must lives together and loves oneanother one day at a time. It all starts with a cold one on the golf course and escaluatees ups from there.
