Chris, I will always be thankful for your contributions to this world. You had one hell of a voice. I wish you had decided to stick around, but I also understand that hopelessly black place in which one only wants the pain to STOP, no matter the cost. We will miss you. Your music inspired my poetry more than you'll ever know.

"Heaven send hell away,
no one sings like you anymore"

- Soundgarden, 'Black Hole Sun'.
