Chris was a man filled with compassion, love of life, and adoration for his wife. He welcomed us at every opportunity and worked on films with us simply for the love of creation. It tears at my heart to realize he is gone and at the same time I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for having known him and sharing a small part of life with him.
Chris was an amazing person. He made coming into work so much fun! He was there to joke around with everyone but also would be there to make sure you had all you needed. I’m sure he always appreciated when I would tell him I needed his help because I broke something on a website. :) I will greatly miss his wit and genuine kindness.
It was always wonderful seeing Chris in the office. The man never had anything but kind words and a smile on his face! He will be sorely missed for his wonderful heart and the way he made us all smile!
An amazing soul and person gone far too soon. I am still, as most are, in shock. Chris was loved by EVERYONE in our office. He was smart, compassionate, kind, funny and someone you always wanted to be around. Not a day will go by that I won’t think of him. Much love to his family and close friends. I am honored to have known him.
I first discovered this tribute to him several weeks ago. We lost contact years ago, and over the last year I’ve been trying to reconnect. I can’t express with words my sorrow, nor can I explain the love and happiness that Boyle brought to me and so very many others. He was the smartest man I’ve known, perhaps his second best attribute behind his warmth. I owe Chris Boyle so much, and words cannot encompass the breadth of this man.
I met Chris at Carrousel Park in the mid 90’s. Within 5 minutes he was given the nickname Junior. He was such an amazing young man back then. He quickly became the front stage actor in the Birthday Show. While I did the puppets, lights, and sound back stage. We became quick friends. He and I worked so well together and he was my brother even though I was a few years older. I never saw him without a smile or joke. He was always someone you could count on and we ALL loved him dearly there. I always knew he would do great things in his life, and I wasn’t wrong. He truly made this world a better place. I am in shock and gutted. Rest well my friend. You deserve it. ❤️
I had the pleasure of knowing Chris his entire life. His mother Terri adored him, and gave him all the love and nurturing a child could ask for. I still laugh when I think about the times she’d fall asleep, and Chris (preschool age) wide awake, would order things advertised on TV! Terri was taken from us at such a young age. But his aunt Cheri was there to take him in and give him the love and guidance he needed. She never tried to take her sister’s place, but loved and cared for him as her sister had requested. I’m “aunt” Cheri she’d say, but she cared for him and loved him as if he were her own son. His sisters, Tonja and DeeDee, welcomed him with open arms. When Chris turned 18, they finalized his mother’s wish that Cheri would be his mother, and Cheri legally adopted Chris. Then along comes Jen who steals his heart. Everyone who knew him was thrilled that our sweet, caring and all around great guy Chris had found his perfect match. The joy she brought to him and their short life together is almost fairytale. Just as his mother was taken too soon, Chris, too, was taken from us much too soon. We are all blessed to have known him, and have our memories, which we’ll NEVER FORGET!! I LOVE YOU Chris Boyle!!❤️
Chris and I happened to meet when I was finishing middle school and happened to heading to the same high school he was already at. I don’t think I could have asked for a better person to help bridge the gap from one place to the next. His friends became my friends and Chris always seemed to surround himself with good, big hearted, fascinating people because that’s the type of person he was too. Chris was one of the people I always genuinely wished good things for, because he deserved it. And every time I heard of good things happening for him, I couldn’t help but smile and be earnestly happy that he had found success and happiness. I’m stunned and heartbroken to know he’s not here anymore but I am so grateful he was a part of my life.
I am heartbroken to have heard this news. I taught Chris in middle-school and in Theatre at Vis. Chris was a sweet, smart, talented young man. Later, when he was in college, he came back to help with a summer show. He was still the same lovely person.

Boyle was my greatest friend.
