Not much after Chris Tapp got out we met up. Then maybe a month or 2 we hit up a baseball game. I knew him before he went to prison and spent 2 years in prison with him. We talked when him and stacy had issues and things only we talked privately about. Tragedies definitely befall us all. Till you are resurrected from death.. I’ll be missing you.
The people who were fortunate enough to spend countless joyful days with Christopher will be greatly saddened by his passing. Chris’s friends and family were all horrified to hear of his passing; they had not anticipated such awful news for a young and energetic individual like Chris. His family and friends will all really miss him.
