Lisa M So many wonderful memories of this very motivated, inspirational, humble and kind soul that I was lucky enough to have crossed paths with ❤️
Chris's loved the gym. We shared so many genuine laughs and meaningful conversations. I am sad that I never got to see his art he was so proud of. His absence leaves a tangible void. The world feels a bit dimmer without him in it.
What a precious gift it was to have known him, even though the time feels far too short now. May his memory be a blessi...

I have so many fond memories of good food and good company with Chris and Jillayne. He was the first person to get my son to laugh. I will love him forever for that.

Rachel Murch The time I needed creative energy at work so I wore a t-shirt that Chris designed for Zappos Tech.

Rachel Murch Walking the path with Chris, a Toms charity event where they donate a pair of shoes for every social post #withoutshoes.
When Zappos turned 16 (2015), we shut down the office and did a Cotopaxi Questival where teams of people explored the city doing small challenges. During one of the challenges, we went to my house and Chris did something where he rode a skateboard into the pool?! I can't remember details, but he hit his heel on the bottom of my pool and was badly h...

Chris R Looking back at TVV, it's insane how many unique things happened in such a casual manor. Chris' desire to build a community was the heart of it.
Chris was one of the first people I met when I moved to Las Vegas. We became instant friends and spent many hours talking about art, politics, religion and every other subject. I relished his company and relied on him to critique my own art. Together, we travelled to Mexico where he endured my constant attempts to force him to drink and otherwise m...
Nick KatzenbachChris is undeniably one of the most uniquely gifted people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. We worked together at RevUnit on the same team and spent a lot of time together on trips, meeting with clients, and working on new creative offerings. My favorite time spent with Chris was in between meetings or traveling to a customer - where he'd share his latest ideas, discuss projects, or share stories. He would also talk about his family and how much he adored and treasured them. When meeting with customers, if he wasn't facilitating ideation sessions masterfully, he would thoughtfully sketch people in the room on his iPad (which he would then share afterwords). Even while sketching, he would never miss a detail in what would often be complex conversations and he would stop sketching to share some wise and insightful perspective that would leave customers inspired.
I am without words to describe the loss and void he leaves behind. I'm just grateful to have been in his orbit for a period of time, having witnessed his incredible gifts, that have forever made their mark on this world and in my life.8th February, 2025
Justin CarrierI've thought a lot about what I might write here, and went back and forth on whether to even write anything or not. But I feel like I need to. Chris was my trainer on my mission, and to say he set the tone for the two years I was in Ukraine, and in a way for my life, is not an overstatement. We hadn't communicated much in the last several years other than the occasional social media message. The last major interaction we had was when the full-scale invasion started and he contributed money to a fundraiser I organized to send money over to people we knew. Despite that, it's hard to spend time with someone during such a formative time, even a short time, and not feel some continuing connection. I have many more thoughts, but won't put them here. I was shocked to hear of his passing. I am so sorry to his family for their loss. He will be missed.7th February, 2025
Monica Miller Prabhu (née Steiner)Chris was one of my very best friends in high school. I can easily see his signature in my minds' eye and despite falling out of touch in the last few decades, I will count him as one of my best friends for life. Ours was a deep and sincere friendship at a time when social connections weren't just important, they were vital. I realize now that I counted the Coys as extended family, Lee and Linda as bonus parents and the older Coy siblings as near cousins, overlapping with me and my sisters in age. And it started with Chris, in sophmore English class.
While high school memories are somewhat blurry, Chris's semi-crooked smirky smile is indelible. His passing has prompted me to reach out to other
Thank you Carolee for reaching out, you are precious. Seeing the outpouring of love for Chris from his friends is helping me reconnect with him. Thank you to all of those who have shared photos and memories.
To the Coy family, I'm deeply saddened that so many years have passed without you and Chris in my life. Your love and Chris's death have prompted me to reach out to people I've lost touch with, who should know that our friendship so many years ago helped me become who I am today and who I will treasure forever.
I thank the universe for putting Chris in my life. Chris, your memory and your friendship has made the world a better place. I love you.4th February, 2025
Rachel MurchThis world feels a little less vibrant without Chris. We faced some tough times together—days, weeks, months—and through it all, he was right by my side, helping me find the strength to do what was right. Because of him, I knew I’d be okay. He taught me so much, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful. Viggo will always be my connection to him in this world, and Chris will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you for sharing him with us. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
With love, Rachel27th January, 2025
