Whoa…I’m so sorry, I don’t even know what to say. I only met him once…what happened?
And I’m sorry, I’m unable to make it to the funeral 🙁 I hope it’s a nice service…
Sorry to hear about this 🙁

That’s really terrible news. It’s tragic to die from cancer, especially when so young.
My thoughts are with Kris’ brother Antony and the rest of their family.
I’ll be at the funeral.

Just wanted to write a quick tribute here to Kris since none of us will probably say anything out loud at the funeral (i dont think i would be able to get the words out even if tried).
I first knew him at him at highschool. We became friends i think sometime in 8th or 9th grade cause we came in on the same train, but mainly because we were both pretty geeky and didnt have too many other friends. I used to love it when he beat the crap out of people i didnt like, and i thought it was hilarious when he agued with other kids at school about how great the labour party was and how much the liberals sucked.
When i stared going round to his place for the first time to play wathammer i saw how he loved his Samoyd dogs, and how he also liked collecting coins. We also watched a lot of movies together – I remember the time we went to watch the SouthPark movie – id never seen him laugh so hard. He was really generous with his money too – he shouted me maccas i dont know how many times.
But mainly we played warhammer; he was always more dedicated than me – he would paint a whole unit in a couple of weeks, when i would take months. I always wanted to see what he’d done next. Playing warhammer with him was always fun and infuriating at the same time; he was always extremely lucky with his rolls, getting 6 after 6 for his bretonnian knights’ ward saves! (sorry to those who dont know what im talking about here). It was also really funny when he got mad at you (jokingly – sometimes), he would try and whack you with his walking stick or give you the middle finger.
Im only sorry now that i never got to know him deep down personally – He always avoided talking in that way its true, but many i time i could have tried to really talk to him and didnt. We both were just more interested in playing games. I didnt get to see him near the end cause i was away overseas, but i hope he managed to say whatever he felt deep down to someone. And as many of you will know, i am a christian – and so i hope in his heart he put his trust in Jesus Christ before he died.
All in all, he was a great mate to hang round with, and i will really miss him. Im sure we all will. Lets then make a big effort to come on Friday and give our support to the Pederson parents and Anthony too.
Thanks
