Christopher S. Bushman was a man who loved sports, more specifically the Cubs and Bulls. As a kid, he was like a computer with players names, numbers, stats. He would rather watch sports news in the morning before school instead of cartoons. He had to find out the final scores of the games he was too little to stay up and watch the night before.
Chris was known for being passionate about his beliefs. No matter what they were, if he believed it, he stood by it. There is something to be said for someone who trusts in something so whole heartedly.
Although he didn't have many friends (who of us does) he took those he had very seriously. He was fortunate to have a buddy by his side, Shawn. Shawn and his mom saw Chris through some hard times and as a family we will always be grateful for that.
