chris known to everyone else as ballard was a undistrubuted super heavy weight kick boxer who was full of laughter and jokes, was a door man around reading town center and was also a hero at the matrix shooting, thats why i cant understand why he took his life the way he did, after that shooting happened chris was very anti guns, so for him to take his own life with one just really dosnt make any sence, chris left behind many friends and also his family, my heart goes out to his little boy jack, ur daddy loved u very much darling and will always be by ur side xxx
chris still appears regularly on channel 5 sport and each time i see him im reduced to tears to see the man that we all once knew in his glory and fighting spirit that is no longer here, sweet dreams gentle giant oxoxoxox
:(
8 years have flown by so quickly..its still hard to believe you're not here anymore there's so many things that constantly remind me of you. fights on 5 songs we used to hear at utopia... miss you chris... always will x
Hi Gemma
It was so kind of you to create this site for Chris, I hadn't heard of it before. I am afraid I don't know you personally, but if ever you would like to drop by for a chat and coffee you would be most welcome. He was so lucky to have so many wonderful friends. Best wishes to you. Elaine (Chris's mum) xx
Bless you Elaine
thankyou for correcting chris's age, im sure he would be up in heaven laughing at me, he knew how scatty brained i was lol,
Im glad uve found his site, and i hope u dont mind me making him it, lots of people adored chris and we were all shocked when we found out the news, this site really is a great way to remember someone, i have many lost ones on here, my thoughts and love are always with you and ur family, beyond that hard exterior there really was a gentle giant xxxxxx take care of urselfs xxxxx
Thank you
I am Chris mum I have just learned about this site, it's lovely to know his friends still remember him. He really cared for his friends, and I still keep bumping into people who knew him. Hope you don't mind me putting his age right, but he was born Dec 21st 1971, he would hate to think you have added a few years to his age! As you know how vain he was!
Thanks for all the tributes.
When I've come to the end of my journey
And I've traveled my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only my smile.
Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember some good I have done.
Forget I ever had heartaches,
And remember I've had loads of fun.
Forget that I stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell along my way.
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day.
Then forget to greive for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day,
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay.
And come in the shade of the evening,
When the sun paints the sky in the west.
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.

Rest in peace Christopher. xoxo
its still hard to believe you are gone its strange walking in brannigans and not seeing u chuckin some one out or standing in the corner with a beer and loads of silly little girls throwing themselves at you.i hope you have found peace now.we miss you and love you.sleep well chris.xxx
Great Man
What a wonderful tribute from your friend - you really must have been a lovely person. It is so difficult to understand why people sometimes take their own lives - often their reasons will not be known and this can make it harder to deal with.
My thoughts are with his family - especially Jack, and all of the friends who obviously miss him too.
God bless you Christopher, I hope that whatever was tormenting you is over now and that you are at peace. Watch over those you left behind - they miss you.
