I miss you, Chris
Ran into one of our old french teachers the other day, and remembered our table of four and always getting into trouble because you’d make me burst out in laughter during french class. Thank you for all the smiles throughout middle school and high school. Your presence would light up any room, and I’m truly lucky to have known you.
Miss you Chris 🙂
Rest in peace.
hbd chris, i think about you always and my heart is with your mother today.
happy birthday! missing you always, chris. summers just aren’t the same without you
Happy Birthday Chris! I wish I had the chance to tell you in person…thank you for being an amazing friend, I know I will definitely always remember how fun, energetic & fearless you are. I MISS YOU!
Happy Birthday Chris, you’re still in our thoughts!
You’ll always be one of a kind.
Today I’m going to Mirvish village. I’m going to go get a big fat burrito. I’m going to walk around the west end of the city. I’m going to think about how awesome you are. Happy Birthday Chris!
I may even have to put on a pink plaid shirt, eat a sour cream timbit and have some Arizona ice tea.
Happy Birthday Chris. My East Coast trips are lesser without you.
Happy birthday Chris. We definitely do miss you.
Happy Birthday Chris. We miss you.

jumped the roof gap for you today buddy, much love !
♥ miss you
RIP Chris, you’ll be missed, i was by our old house tonight, doing the “walk downtown” … i have to say it was very sad and heartbreakin. You were too young to go, 🙁 i can’t believe what has happened… i’ll always remember our chats until about 4am 3x a week…….
</3 love you buddy, know your watchin down on me. watching down on us. 🙁
When I went to high school (Greenwood) in Toronto I always enjoyed when we would hang out with Chris. He was always able to make us laugh. He was always so much fun to be around. I am so sorry for your loss. Chris will be greatly missed and always remembered!
Chris buddy! You will be missed in Hali. Iam glad to have met you through the shop. It was really good to see some creativity through rigging up things on your bike and even doing tricks. Rest In Peace! Thanks for the good times
You’ll be missed man, with your Fixed gear tricks I could never wrap my mind around and the help to fix my broken bike, which happened often. I wish I could have gotten to know you better, Rest in peace
Chris, I am pretty stoked that I got to know you as well as I did in such a short period of time. you taught me so many things. You definitley will not be forgotten…. I will still try and convince Brent Halverson to get bigger bars. Chris to sum it up you were rad and an amazing friend you were always there when i needed it. You will be missed. I will get a couple of growlers in your honour bud.
Dear Chris,
I have never met such a remarkable human being like yourself. In the last year, we have grown so close and although you are gone, I will continue to grow closer to you everyday. I can’t even begin to imagine my life without you. Our walks, talks and study sessions can never be replaced and they will stay in my heart forever. You made me a better person. I am so grateful that I found a friend like you. I love you more than words can express and I will miss you everyday…
My greatest condolences goes to Chris’s family. You created such a beautiful human being inside and out. His free spirit, sense of humor and good nature is what I will remember most of him. He is here with us, and always will be.
My sincerest condolences. I didn’t know him very well but he was always polite, well mannered and sweet.
Chris, I was already trying to live an 11 out of 10… but because you are so amazing I will take on the challenge of actually being one the people that maintains a 12 of 10. I will do that because you cant anymore. You gave me the strength and power to take charge of parts of my life this week I never thought I would control … I never dreamed of controlling. Everything you did no matter how stupid was a choice you made, I love you for every one.. even dying… because it is you that did it and no matter how hard I try I cant not love every single thing about you buddy. I always wondered what would happen when I lost someone I cared about.. well turned out I stood up for what I believed in and fought back against every piece of injustice I saw…
[p2] it is just unfortunate I was on a trip with assholes in the deep south of georgia. I wish I could tell you how many racist assholes I told to go fucking die in your honour man. Anyone who acted a fool got a serious, well thought out, frighteningly calculated response that shut them down.. for you.. even when I couldnt be strong. Because I knew you were such a fragile and beautiful person and people had hurt you and no one made them stop. There is nothing so painful as to be publically hurt while people stand by and dont help you. I know that… and as I lost you I worried that you had spent too much time questioning how much everyone you touched loved you.. even for a minute… because I know I worry. But we truly loved you. Know that ♥
Dearest Sandy,
Amy and I send healing hugs and share in your grief as we both have son’s the same age as Chris. We feel deeply your loss and will be there to support you and love the person you are. With much love, Susan and Amy the girls that love and wear your scarves.
When I heard the news, my heart sunk. Chris was always such a beautiful friend to my brother, Cooper. He was always at our house with him & Evan; the three of them always laughing, smiling, and goofing off. The loss of Chris is a shock to all and I can’t imagine the hurt you must be feeling. It is heartbreaking to think of such a brilliant person being gone so soon. It was too soon. Much love.
My condolences Sandy, and to the rest of the family. You are in my thoughts, daily.
Im glad that i got to know you in grade 8 and again in haig. I will never 4get the jumbo size sandwiches that you had for lunch and the times when we played big 2 during recess and lunch in gr8. I can still remember clearly when you, Mr. C and others played the abcd game and ended up with crazily red hands.
RIP Chris, you’ll definitely be missed.
Just heard the news, my condolences to Chris’ family and friends. Chris was always such a wonderful person with a big smile on his face at all times and always knew how to make someone laugh. RIP Chris.
Dear Chris Lum’s family,
Chris was one of my first few friends in Canada when I met him in our second grade class. Although he was always getting into trouble with Mr. Jarvis, I distinctly remember that he was the one who ultimately gave everyone a good laugh – the kind that would make your stomach hurt. When we played “family” with other friends, I would be the “baby” and he would be my loyal “doggy”, and he would proudly take me around the playground protecting me from our other classmates who played as other cats and dogs. Since I did not have many friends at the time, I was extremely grateful that he not only accepted me but also played with me. Although we have lost touch over the years, the stories shared by you and his friends have told me that he grew into nothing less than a young man filled with love for life, friends and family. He has inspired me to live an “11/10” life.
Chris will always be one of my closest childhood friends and my sincerest thoughts are with each and every one of you. Stay strong.
rest in peace chris buddy
Nothing could describe the sorrow of losing a child, a grand child and especially a young man who is so full of life. Christopher was eight when I met him as a camp director. He was one of the cutest and smartest kids who didn’t really like to be at the North York Chinese Cultural Summer Camp but came around after 4 weeks of fun and adventure.
Having been out of town this week, this morning at a coffee shop, I read with great sadness in the Toronto Star about his ski accident in Alberta.
He will be forever in our hearts. Only time will heal. Take good care.
We all knew Chris too briefly.
It always brightened the day to run into him at school, outside Nauss bike shop, or at the Brunswick house. He was a warm soul, a good friend, and full of spirit and adventure.
We celebrated his life last night by eating too many chicken wings with tears in our eyes.
He will be missed here in Halifax.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Dear Sandy,
It was with profound sadness that we learned of Chris’ tragic accident this week.
Although we did not see Chris often through the years, we were always left with a grin when we had seen what an impressive young man he had become. He always stood out in a room, his gracious manner that seemed years beyond his age.
We are sorry that we could not be there to lend our support to you at this time.
Please accept our sincerest thoughts and prayers.
Dear Sandy
It is heartbreaking to hear you have lost Chris. I am so very sorry.
with deepest sympathy, Yvonne
We wish we could be there today to bid farewell to Chris. We are thinking of him, of his Mom and other family and friends. It is a beautiful sunny, snowy day here in Halifax. A day he would love. Rest well, dear Chris. Always…
Rest in peace Chris. I’ll always remember the good times in middle school when we would work on our group projects, talk about music and the crazy field trips. My thoughts are with your family.
Chris was a really good guy and he will be missed. My deepest condolences to his mother and family.
Dear Sandy, I feel your pain…
Dear Chris,
I will be forever changed in your passing because we would have helped each other grow if you were still here. I will miss you so much Chris. Words lack the ability to describe the sorrow and hurt your friends and family feel, and the whole in our hearts feels a mile wide. We will celebrate your life Chris, and remember what we were so lucky to have, if only for a while. This week I felt as though the last bit of my childhood faded away in a vague blur of emotion and now I can say with everything I am that I know the meaning of Goodbye. I will remember your spirit and carry it with me for the rest of my days.
Since there was no time to say it, I’ll say it now,
Goodbye Chris.
Dear Sandy,
Our hearts ache with Chris’ passing. The first few moments of being with Chris, we can see that he was such a well grounded gentleman and a terrific person. We are absolutely devastated and our hearts are filled with sorrow. We have been thinking of you and the family everyday and our prayers are with you.
Andrew and Van
I will always remember that awesome year at UCC. It was my pleasure to have you around.
To show our love for chris, myself and friends will be going out for wings tonight. This is one of the great memories I have of chris. Last time we all went, I drove and chris biked and he managed to beat me to the bar. We Filled up our bellies with way too much food. lots of laughs!
I send you my love
I will always remember the first time Chris and I met where he made me laugh during a finance tutorial – which was a feat at the time. He always had a smile on his face and had a way of making everyone instantly feel like his friend. To Chris’ family, I send my heartfelt condolences – he is someone that will truly be missed by many.
lease accept our deepest sympathies on the passing of Christopher. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Chris, Nicholas and Cameron
While we only knew him for a short time, it was easy to recognize just how amazing he was; truly a beautiful person. We always enjoyed talking to him on the porch and hearing what he was up to. His memory will always shine in the hearts of everyone who was lucky enough to meet and know him. Our deepest condolences-he will be missed. Sean, Marci and the O’Donoghue family (Toronto)
Chris was a very good friend of mine in Dalhousie. A very determined guy who always had a heart of gold. We shared very fond memories from doing our assignments 30 minutes before class (lol) to trying to cram for exams both saying “oh man this is going to be bad”, but in the end we always came out on top. You will be missed my very good friend and I will carry on our legacy and graduate for the both of us my friend. Say Hi to all those who are in heaven with you and one day we shall meet again my friend. Rest in Peace Chris.
I am a classmate of Chris at Dal and I just want to say Chris was a wonderful person. He always made people laugh and he never judged anyone. People like Chris are rare in this world and I’m truly sorry for your loss.
Chris was a student at Dalhousie in my Management Skills class last semester. I was impressed with his enthusiasm and his pleasant and polite nature; he was a lovely young man. Please accept my sincere condolences on your terrible loss.
Dear Sandy,
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Christopher, I will always remember him as the petit Christopher coming to my School with you or to my house, always so nice, so happy to be with you,
All my prayers are for him, the petit ange
My sincere condolences,
Catherine
Dear Sandy,
We are so very sorry about your loss of Christopher. The news of this horrific accident left us stunned. It is every parents nightmare and words can’t express the sadness and grief we feel for you. As neighbours, we watched Christopher grow from a cute and adventurous little boy to a polite and thoughtful teen to the well-mannered, smart, kind and handsome young man you drove to university just a few years ago. He was always happy to lend a hand, play with Heli and talk about his school experiences. He was truly a perfect young man. My heart aches for you, Sandy, and all the words of sorrow sound so contrite but it is all that we have. Please know that you have our very deepest sympathy, and we wish you,your parents, Raymond and Steven and their families strength and solace in the days ahead. Please know that we are nearby to offer whatever comfort or assistance you may need.
Ann, Tom, Heli
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND :(! MAY YOU BE HAPPY WITH OUR MAKER JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD IN HEAVEN NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN!
I’m so so sorry. We’ll miss you mate.
My thoughts and heart will be in Ontario tomorrow morning.
My sincerest condolences to Sandy and the Lum family.
Sandy,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Chris. My son Kyle was home from University this week and told me what had happened. I had heard the story on the news but once Kyle mentioned Greenwood I saw Chris’s smile and remembered spending a few Greenwood events with you. My heart goes out, be as strong as you can be.
Hello Sandy
Such a sad time to reconnect. It was with great horror I realized the young Ontario skier who passed away on the Banff slopes was the Chris Lum our family knew from racing at North York Ski Centre. You are truly living every parent’s worst nightmare and no words will ever provide enough comfort. You have our deepest sympathy.
Our son Cameron trained and raced with Chris at NYSC. They had many great days and nights throwing down arcs at the great heights of North York. They were so dedicated.
Although this accident is a great tragedy for those of us left behind, and ended a young life far too soon, Chris got to do something very few people achieve, he died doing something he loved knowing he was loved.
In the horribly sad days to come remember Chris’s smile and joy of life to get you through and to eventually patch that huge hole in your heart. Our thoughts are with with you and the rest of Chris’s family left behind.
With much love, Jackie and Doug McKenzie
Dearest Sandy, Its with great sadness that I heard of Chris’s passing. He was such a fine young gentleman with great hopes and asperations. I hope you are able to.take strength by his acomplishments and beauty. Stay strong Sandy. Our prayers are with you and the family. A big hug. Anjali
Dear Dan,
You always talked about Christopher with pride and stars in your eyes. Pete has fond memories of intelligent conversations with a man wise beyond his years..
Let go for a ride while we think of him, and the pleasure he took from life and riding.

Dear Sandy and family,
I’m so sorry to hear about Chris; you’ve been in my thoughts all week. I remember Chris coming to me to start an origami club in his early years at Greenwood and the wonderful time we spent making beautiful creations out of the paper you donated! This must be a terribly difficult time and I hope that you find comfort in the many happy memories you surely have.
-Jennifer (formerly Kelly) Bibby
Chris was a wonderful son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. He was great with kids and seniors alike and brought smiles and joys to all people around him. There are simply no words can express how this tragic accident affects everyone that knows Chris especially the Lum’s family. Chris, thank you for all the memories you will always be in a special place in our hearts. Rest in peace. -Jon
So sorry to hear about Christopher. Although it has been many years since we saw him, we remember when you brought Christopher- then a baby, for visits to Leamington.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Richard & Renee Iacobelli
We were all so shocked to hear about Chris and our hearts go out to you and his family. Martin and Chris were friends from Greenwood and again at Dalhousie. Chris was always so upbeat, friendly and full of life. Our thoughts are with you at this tragic time. From all of us – Rebecca Cowdery, Bob Stevenson and Martin Stevenson
Dear Sandy;
We aare greatly saddened to see the notice of Chris’s tragedy in the Halifax newspaper and the Globe and Main today. We knew Chris for the past three years since he moved to Halifax to attend Dalhousie University. He was such a fine, responsible person, a nice person to know.. Our thoughts are with you at this time.
Arthur & Eileen Irwin, Halifax (Landlord)
Chris was wonderful young man taken to early in life.
May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the family of Chris Lum:
I had the priviledge of meeting Chris in high school and he was one of the best classmates to spend class with. We spent countless classes watching movies on his ipod, playing poker under the table, and folding origami. A long boring class of economics just seems to fly by so fast. Once he made a paper airplane and threw it inside my ear – it caused a scar and eventually led to a small infection (I didnt blame him for it, I thought it was funny!). It has been 4 years since then but I am constantly reminded about him everytime I sleep on my right side since the scar still trickles pain from time to time.
Although i’ve known him for only a short amount of time, the memories that we cherish will last forever in my heart. You will all be in my prayers and I want you to be reminded that he is now in a better place, waiting for us one day to join him.
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When you were all together.
Rest in Peace, Chris. I’ll always remember our adventures at Mono Cliffs.
I have nothing but good memories and nice things to say about Chris from the many times I met him, even if we weren’t close. Your family and all my friends who are devastated by his loss are in my thoughts and heart this week. ♥
Dear Sandy, My heartfelt sympathies are with you and your grandparents at this time. McKee seems like such a long time ago now. Christopher sounds like he grew up to be such a wonderful young man. May your fondest memories help comfort you. My sincerest condolences, Brenda Falkner
We didn’t get to know Chris over his tragic short life, but the time we got to spend with him during our visits to Canada were unforgettable. We will never forget the kindness and patience he showed us while taking us around. He made us laugh and smile that thinking about now it makes us cry and frown. We are sorry to hear about his loss and our hearts go out to Sandy and the Lum family.
Dear Sandy,
Our words are not adequate to express the sorrow we feel for your loss.
Chris was an inspiration to everyone around him. We are so blessed and lucky to have known him. Our heart goes out to you and the Lum family.
Polly & Ming (Parkland, Florida )
Dear Sandy
Words cannot express our heartfelt sorrow. We cannot fathom the depth of your loss. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Hold tight to the love, joy and happiness Chris brought to your life. Remember you are not alone, your family and friends are with you to support you during this difficult time.
Anne, Bruce and Samantha Raby
Dear Sandy, I am so terribly sorry to hear of Chris’s death. I remember him quite clearly from our early days at McKee. He always had a big, beautiful, bright smile and a very “sunny” personality. The kids loved being around him. It sounds like he grew to be a very accomplished young man. You did a wonderful job. Please know the Luke and I are thinking of you and your family and we are so sorry for your loss. Jane and Luke Gazdic
To the family of Chris,
Words cannot express the sorrow for your loss of Chris. I cannot imagine the void felt in your lives at this time.
Chris was a wonderful young man. I had the pleasure of knowing Christopher as my daughter’s boyfriend. My fondest memory of him will be our Easter morning egg hunt at our home. I had heard Chris didn’t like chocolate; so, I had to color code the plastic eggs and put gummies inside them for him.
I also found out that Chris wasn’t one for having his picture taken, but we do have a picture of him from that Easter morning.
Chris also made several beautiful origamis for me; I have them hung in our sunroom. They will be a constant reminder of how precious the life is; and that it should never be taken for granted, but to know those who might have been with us the shortest of time make the most lasting memories.
Our family’s deepest condolences to you.
Carmel Rooney
Sofia, Zachariah and Farid Taheri
As Sandy’s cousin, I had the privilege to watch Chris grow from a child to a wonderful young man.
I still recall all the times when Chris would compare his height to mine at our family gatherings. Of course, I always knew that Chris would not only grow tall, but be successful at anything he set his mind too.
Chris you will always be remembered in all of our hearts. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Sandy and the Lum Family.
Love Jason and Catherine Kwan
To the Family of Chris Lum,
It was with great sadness and shock that I heard of Chris’ passing. I was his grade 8 teacher and as I see his photo I am reminded of the many laughs that he brought to his friends and to our classroom. I remember him as a an energetic and dynamic person who could always make you smile.
He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Brandon Culakovski
Chris was very special. He could bring out the good in anyone. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. Chris will forever be in our hearts.
Sandy,
We’ve never met, but I had the priviledge of going to school with your son for several years. He brought joy to all of us around him with his enthusiastic, up-beat demeanor. My thoughts are with you and the rest of the family.
Take care
Dear Sandy,
My son Matthew Spencer, just sent me a message of the terrible news about your beautiful boy Chris. We met you and Chris at UCC and also at ski races back in the day. I remember how close the two of you were and what a charming and delightful boy Chris was. I can’t imagine your suffering, I have no words. I am so profoundly sorry for your loss.
Dear Sandy,
I just wanted to let you know that you raise a wonderful son and a great person. I will cherish all the special memories I have of him as my little cousin and my good friend. Chris will be deeply missed in everyone’s heart including mine!
There are no words that can describe such a loss. He was such an accomplished skier, great son, great grandson and so full of life. You don’t prepare yourself for something like this…especially when his future was so full of promise. He will be deeply missed by all the people that he touched.
Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal
Words, however kind,
can’t mend your heartache: ,
but those who care and ,
share your loss wish you,
comfort and peace of mind.,
May you find strength,
in the love of family,
and in the warm embrace,
of friends.
Deepest Sympathy,
Your cousin Mandy and family (HK)
Too young and full of life.
There are no words in this terrible time of grief and pain.
We cry for the silence after your passing, for the sadness as there was no goodbye.
How futile is the search for words to describe what we feel, words can’t express what we feel for your loved ones.
If tears could build stairs and memories a bridge, we would climb to heaven and take you back with us.
Saied, Edith, Daryush, Teymour and Shirin Nadjafi
Dear Sandy
I read with great sadness the account of Christopher’s tragic death. I want you to know that my thoughts are with you at this terrible time. It has been a long time since I had the pleasure of working with you both at McKee and I was impressed to hear of Christopher wonderful accomplishments. You must have beautiful memories to help you through this. Fondly, Annette Gaskin
I am so sorry about your loss. I did not get a chance to meet Chris, but know of him through my daughter, Emma, who was with him at the time of the accident. She is so upset and will forever have him in her heart.
Rest in Peace Chris.
Riding with you was the best always looked forward to it always so upbeat rest in peace buddy
my condolences to your family, I’d know Christopher since elementary and it’s a shock to hear his passing and I will always remember the good times we had. May you rest in peace.
It was great to catch up with you out here…it was brief but I really admire your spirit and drive.You left an impression on me and I can tell by the comments here you touched a lot of people…I’ll be thinking of you while on the snowboard and bike…look over your dad.We will all miss you
Wont forget you chris, riding will never be the same.
I took photos of Chris back in November, and he once told me they were some of his favorite photos of him self doing what he loved. I found a few that I never posted…and he never got a chance to see…These are for you and your family and friends Chris, we miss you so much man.

I am so shocked. Thank you for all of the fun times in high school; they will always be remembered. Farewell, Chris.
i’ll never forget our summer school days, that awesome night at the ex, your amazing music recommendations, your witty anecdotes, and your hilarious stories. you really knew how to make people smile, and i know that is something you’ll keep doing forever. i’m going to miss you.
Chris,
I didn’t really get to know you that well in the past couple of years, although I remember you from way back in middle school. I was shocked by this unfortunate accident.
My condolences to the Lum family. May you R.I.P and never be forgotten.
Danielle
I took photos of Chris back in November, and he once told me they were some of his favorite photos of him self doing what he loved. I found a few that I never posted…and he never got a chance to see…These are for you and your family and friends Chris, we miss you so much man.
Chris,
I didn’t get to see you too often out east but whenever I did you always had a smile on your face and were always willing to have a good talk. That is a true testament of your character. You will be missed by everyone that knew you and my condolences go out to your family
Rest in peace
There are no words that can describe such a loss. He was such an accomplished skier, great son, great grandson and so full of life. You don’t prepare yourself for something like this…especially when his future was so full of promise. He will be deeply missed by all the people that he touched.
I am at a loss for words, all I can say is that I dont understand and wish that this had never happened. It shouldnt have happened. I always wished that I would get a chance to see you again, its been about two years since you were over with your mum. I missed you and thought of you on the regular. And always hoped to see more of you. I wish something could have been done and that you would still be alive. I wish you weren’t gone. ♥
Im so sorry Sandy and for all of Chris’s loved ones.
Chris, I was hoping we could get some more time in at the hali skatepark together bro. You always were a great guy and charismatic one. Wish this never happened to you, and my condolences go out to your mother and family. RIP bud, I will remember you forever.
I so so wish I could be attending this… I will keep a place in my heart for you Chris always, you are with me wherever I shall go, every time I ride my bike you’ll be their in my mind. ♥
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Oh my, please send my condolences, my heart goes out to his family. This is sad. I wish I could attend the memorial. I’m glad he was not alone.
Such a smart, nice and talented guy. Whenever I think of Chris, I see him cycling backwards on his fixie. I may even have it on video. crappy cellphone video. He will always be in my heart, he will be missed.
I’m from Halifax, I met Chris through playing bike polo and partaking in alley cat races.
Is there any way of finding out his family’s mailing address?
Thank you for letting us know.
-Alice D. Hebb
I miss you. I’m hating the fact for the past while I keep saying to myself “Hey, I should really give Chris (and Evan) a shout.” And each time I made an excuse not to. You were a great friend Chris and I’m so thankful for the way you touched my life and inspired me.
I remember talking about the good and bad with you and I’m so glad I got those chances to learn so much about you.
I hope you’re in a good place now.
I can’t believe such an amazing and energetic person could be taken from us so early. You will be greatly missed my friend.
Rest in peace Chris, I have only good memories of you
Rest in peace Chris
I’ll always remember the last day of middle school where we biked to no-where for 2 hours because we had nothing to do. Rest in peace, friend….
Rest in peace, Chris
rip. Chris
I don’t even know what to say. Chris you were an amazing person. This shouldn’t have happened.
Oh Chris, so many smiles, so many laughs, one of the most kind hearted people I have ever known.
Rip Chris. I’m so thankful I had the chance to meet you and to know such a great guy could exist. You’ll surely be missed. Bye buddy.
RIP Chris T.T

Bye, Chris. Love!

Losing Chris is nothing short of tragic. My sincerest condolences to his friends and family.
Thanks for the light Mr. Lum, cool doesn’t begin to describe you and I’m thankful I had the chance to know you.
RIP Chris. I will never forget you.
RIP Chris
:C you’ll be missed.
Panda, I can’t believe it. Finally we reconnected started our routine market trips, texting chats, coffee sips and great chats again. i miss you terribly and was looking forward to hearing all about your adventures out west. You were one of the most and are the most fun loving, interesting, humorous, dare devil and caring individuals i know, and I will never forget anything you taught me over everything we had over the past year and a half. Funny that we had only known eachother that long, yet went through so many different adventures, good, bad and memorable times together. I have alll the origami you made me in my room right now and have been staring from it from bed, and my mom has your amazing work in the living room as always. we miss you and you will always be in my thoughts. my thought and prayers goes out to all chris’s family and friends especially his mother who i chris lived for and loved so much.
I’ll never forget my passionate amazing friend Chris Lum, I love you man!

RIP buddy, we’ll ride bikes again together one day.
I vividly remember ski racing with you every winter weekend for years with Earl bales. You were one year older and always seconds faster, I looked up to you and came to you for skiing advise. You were a great person, kind and generous. Rip man. Too soon
In the end its not the years in your life that count it is the life in your years – Abraham lincoln

Definitely an amazing person, such a shocker to find out about his death through Facebook. It’s like something you’d see on the news but you never think it would happen to someone you know. I just wish I could have hung out with him one last time.

Rest In Peace, Chris.

RIP bro. We will remember you.
RIP. I will remember you, Chris
RIP..such a great friend..I will keep you in my heart…
I can’t believe this. I am so shoked.
Thanks Chris for helping me wih my computer all the time, being so nice to me and for being my friend. I’m sorry I lost touch.
Everyone has their own memories of Chris, so I was unsure if it’s a good idea to post personal things. However, I just want to commemorate all the reason’s I loved being his friend.
The fact you gave me one of you’re mum’s scarves for my 19th birthday.
Waking up at 6am, at Joey’s farm house and having you join me on the hammock. We sat for two hours until everyone else woke up, our clothes were soaked but we didn’t care enough to move.
The fact you let me wear your pink plaid shirt all weekend. The fact you even owned a pink plaid shirt.
Our early morning Facebook-chats about breakfast and plans for the day.
How every time we went to Tim Hortons, I could never get the mix pack of Tim-Bits, because all you wanted were the sour cream ones.
How you tried to comfort me when I failed at Cranium by telling me that “Aidan and Christine must have brainwashing powers.”
The fact you spent a Summer helping me pick out the perfect bicycle.
When you walked through Joey’s screen door and broke it.
I loved the fact that so many of you’re stories started with “my mum said….”
The fact you taught me that there’s more to life than school. It’s about indulging in exciting things like biking, food, fashion and having a general sense of adventure and lust for life.
Rest in peace Chris. You were such a great kid, I’m glad to have been able to share in your life. I’m thinking of your mom & family right now and all of the times that we shared on the hill. If I was in the country I’d be there this Friday. I’ll be thinking of you.
The countless days we spent skiing together will never be forgotten. You were a great guy, and will never be forgotten.
Much love,
The Candys
My thoughts are with everyone who will be there on saturday, I wish I could be in toronto. I am having a hard time believing this, but my family is thinking about you ms. lum and all the other family friends out there. Everyone here in halifax is missing you already. I’ve never had a guardian angel , but I really hope you will be mine Chris. You deserved the world and more.
My thoughts are with Chris’s family. I am completely shocked. I don’t know if I will be able to make it up to Toronto for this weekend but if I can I will. Xo if I can’t my thoughts are with everyone there.
Chris will be in our hearts forever. Sandy, we are always available to make life easier for you.
I so wish I could attend!! I will be thinking of all of you on that day and I will keep Chris and his family in my prayers!!
Rest in peace Chris! You will be greatly missed!
my thoughts go out to Sandy and Chris’ family and friends.
you will be dearly missed!
rest in peace Chris
my ear still hurts from the “origami” airplane that you jabbed inside my ear in grade 12. i’ll always remember you when the pain comes from my ear every time i sleep on my right side.
rest in peace my friend.
Its been a while since I’ve seen Chris but that doesn’t mean he was any less of the wonderful, hilarious, good-hearted and considerate person I knew him to be. Chris, you will always be remembered as nothing less than the fantastic person you proved to be in your all-too-short years of life.
If I were in Ontario I would have attended the funeral. I want to offer support, or anything I can do, to Chris’ family and to Emma, Marks and Burton. I am so sorry, but at least he passed with some of his best friends by his side. My thoughts are with you all, sincerely. RIP Chris Lum.
I remember meeting Chris as an 11 year old at Camp Hurontario a decade ago. The thing that I liked the most about him was his raw energy and absolutely relentless sense of humour; he was the kid that was the first to climb the rock wall, do a kayak roll, build the biggest sandcastle, or anything else his boundless will was set to. Few other kids ever gained so much of my admiration. I hadn’t seen him in a couple of years, but from all accounts the boy I was so impressed by grew into an even more impressive man.
My greatest condolences to his family and to Marks, Emma and Burton. I won’t be able to make the funeral, but he and his closef friends and family will be in my thoughts.
I don’t even know what to say. RIP Chris.
It was a shock to us all. All I have are positive memories of Chris. Great friend, great cook, great person. My thoughts are with his family.
I still cannot believe this. Sincere condolences to Chris’ family.
RIP Chris..
