Yep, Mike Bell's little girl. Although I'm almost 29 now. Ha ha.

I knew Chris Page from Enlgish Lit classes at CSUB.  I remember him going from student to student after class, asking "what did you get on your paper?  What did you get on your test?" and comparing grades in a good-natured competitive kind of way. 

Later on,  when we were out of school, Chris reviewed a play I wrote.  I've still got the article, cut out and framed with a program, on my office wall.  That was the first time I'd been recognized by the press, for my work in the Arts, in Bakersfield.  It was really encouraging; it made me want to keep working, to work harder and do better.  I'm wishing now that I'd thanked him for that encouragement, at some point.  It made all the difference, to me.

I'm so very sorry that this has happened.  My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I just wanted to pop in and leave my contact information for any one I spoke to at the memorial on Saturday, in case you had asked me for a copy of the CD I made or wanted to send me something. I ran out of my current business cards during the day so some of you didn't get all the contact information you wanted.

Any one can send me an email any time to: stephanie@newrock1073.com it goes directly to my phone and I will get it immediately.

To all of Chris' family & friends - I am very sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayer are with you all.  Chris' life was way too short!

To Kim - I cannot imagine dealing with the loss of one of my brothers and I greatly respect what you have commented here to everyone.

I watched Chris grow up and knew him mostly as a friend of my brother's.  He was the kid who was always smiling!  I remember the Castle carnivals, cheering for him as he graduated from Actis and then West, and watching his writing develop in the Californian.  I don't think that anyone who knew him in the least was surprised at his success.  I would always read his column when I was visiting my family in Bakersfield and was sad when that little link to the past was no longer there.  But I knew he was out there somewhere and would always be successful at whatever he tried.  He was bright and talented - and will be missed by many.      ~HNC

I went to high school with Chris.  He was a couple of years younger than I was, but he was fun to hang with.  I still have a stick that he gave me advertising "Chewbacca's Sister".  Little did I know the flood of memories that would come back when I look at it.  I loved his sense of humor and his spontaneity.  We dated a few times and I remember the first time we went out  we went to a basque restaurant (for the first time). He had reservations for us as Captain Stuebbe and "guest".  I just laughed.  After our meal, my car refused to shift into reverse and Chris pushed my car backwards out of our parking spot.  What an evening of laughs.

I lost touch after I moved to Texas to go to school. I tried to reconnect with Chris through "The Californian" by sending an e-mail last year.  I was a little hurt when I received no response.  I now know why there was no response, he had moved to Arizona.  I wish I had tried to reconnect a few years earlier.  My dad called me tonight to inform me about Chris.  I immediately began hoping it was not the vibrant, humorous Chris I had once known.  I will always cherish the memories I had of Chris in high school.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and freinds who are struggling with such a dificult road ahead.

I will have a finalized date, time and location in Bakersfield tomorrow for everyone. Thank you so much for your patience...it seems like I'm living moment to moment. For now I'm planning on Saturday the 14th for the memorial. I know it will be very informal and everyone (children included) are welcome.

Thank you again for being patient with me while I try to plan this.

I agree with Molassa. Does anyone have any info on a service?

I just now held Chris' mom in my arms as she cried, hearing her say she is comforted by what she has read here. She told me how all the comments about how our son's life brought joy to many, knowing that he left good memories and had a positive effect on some has helped us through this nightmare we can't wake from.

We will forever hold your kind words close to our hearts and be soothed by your memories of a most special man. We miss him so, remembering the weirdness and the intellect, the boy who was old for his years, watching him grow, as proud parents. Sometimes agast at the things he did, like revealing all about our family in the 'Under 21' on a near weekly basis. I remember dreading Mondays at work when I knew a multitude of my co workers would ask me things like;  "did you really shoot Chris in the butt with a paintball gun?". I did, but he took me there for fathers day and, well, I couldn't help myself! I remember waiting outside sleazy clubs while he played with various bands, loading his equipment when his gig was done and driving him home, because he was only 14.

I cherish all those memories and more, as I cherish yours. Thank you for sharing. We were proud to share our Chris with all of you!
