Well, Chris we are coming up on your 3rd year anniversay. Emma and I just wanted to say "We love
you Big Big Much. There is not a single day that goes by that you are not a part of our daily
conversations. Your positive out going personality radiates through your daughter and she is such a
wonderful result of the best parts of the two of us. I see you in her beautiful eyes and thank god every
day for the time she had with you. You were trulely the best father a liitle girl could have ever asked for.
The wonderful and quality of time she spent with you shows in her sweet disposition and adventerous
ways. We are both so grateful for all the special time we were able to spend together they were with out
a doubt the most cherished times of our lives. Your guidance and love from above is helping our whole
family. You touched us all with your gentle and loving ways and I truly believe you continue you to do
so... We love you, Emma & Kristin
May 27, 2008
I was thinking about my brothers today, as I do most everyday, and Chris came mind too. Christian's life
had a positive impact that reached far and wide among the lives of his family and friends. His postive
energy continues to reach out to us in the present. Chris reminds me never to take my brothers for
granted.
April 06, 2008
Christian, Where do I begin.... There are so many things I want to say., but yet I'am at a loss for words!
If you can actually believe that. It has been two and a half years since we have heard your voice or have
sceen your beautiful face but your presence is always around us. Emma and I miss you so much!! We
talk about you every day, you are our sun,moon and stars as well as the love of our lives. Christian, I am
so glad for the twelve years we knew each other and still know each other. We learned so much from
each other and our daughter is the most amazing little girl I have ever known. She talks about you all
the time and she is so much like you it is uncanny. She gives me those Corcoran looks and I just melt.
Chris, you are always with us and we love it. Maggie Mae, Scarlett Rae and Tasia send their love too.
Love, your wife forever Fruit loop and your daughter Emma Rose

Uncle Chris,
I miss you. I hope I will see you again someday. Emma, you were very lucky to have Chris as your
father.

Uncle Chris,
I will always remember the times we spend together, fishing and hanging out playing games at your
house. You will always be in my heart, you were the best Godfather a kid could have.

Uncle Chris,
I miss you so much. I hope I will see you again some day. Emma, you were very lucky to have Chris as
your father, he was a great person.
March 27, 2008
My Dear Friend Christian: Much time has passed, but everyday I am reminded of all the great things we
did together and for that I am truley grateful. You could find the humor in anything, patience when
needed most, and aspiring words in helpless situations. For that I am thankful. We were spawned from
the tough guy generation, so we did'nt say much when it came to how we truley felt, but maybe we
should have.. I miss your words and friendship... Eric
March 27, 2008

November 01, 2005
I was in such a state of shock when my mom called and told me about Christian. I had to guess at the
news while Mom searched for the words to say. I cried so hard and didn't know what to do. It was then
my oldest son, AJ, who is 5 reminded me that Christian is now a star in the sky watching over all of us
who loved him so much.
Now, I can remember the times that Uncle Dick, Aunt 'Cilla and the boys used to come up to visit us
unannounced and how much fun we had when we all got together. I remember playing monster with
Christian and locking him in our toy chest until an adult came looking for him. I also remember sharing
M&Ms with him and pretending they were "Power Pills" that made us all invincible.
Chris was so fun loving and easy going. It will be hard knowing he is no longer with us in body. It is
comforting to know that he is with us in spirit and memories that nobody can take from us.
I cannot express how deep my sympathy runs for the whole family and all his friends. I only hope that
one day, we can all find peace with his passing. God called him home and we will never know why, but
we can be sure that he is in heaven.
Remember when you look at tonight's sky, that extra shining, sparkling star is Chris, winking at us all
and letting us know he is watching over us.
October 12, 2005
Our thoughts and endless prayers are with Kris, Emma,
Mr. & Mrs. Corcoran, all the family, and friends of Christian and Kris.
The Bible says "our lives are but a vapor," but we sometimes take for granted the time our Lord has
given us on this Earth. We often find ourselves forgetting to cherish those Special Moments when we
get a glimpse of what Heaven really is like.
A Loving Kiss, a Caring Hug, the silly way our children make us laugh when we're sad. A beautiful
sunset, the untouched, new fallen snow in the morning, or maybe just watching our children sleep
peacefully in bed at night wondering what incredible things await them in their lives.
Christian knew this as a Loving Husband, Special Dad, Respectful Son, Brother, and Friend to many.
His gentle demeanor and caring heart are characteristics that are easy to see how Kris fell in love with
him.
The Lord's Will is mystifying to many people but it is powerful to those who believe in Him. We may not
understand it at times but through Faith, Trust and Love in Him, His Faith, Trust and Love in us is
revealed. We may not understand now the reasons He called Christian home to Heaven but knowing
that he is with so many of our loved ones who have gone before us allows us to grieve for him, but more
importantly to know he is in the Amazing Presence of our Heavenly Father and the
Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.
We would like to express our gratitude to His families and the Lord to have allowed us the blessing of
getting to know Christian. Even if it was for a short time. Only a few times in our life do we get the
chance to meet someone who is Truly Good, Humble, and Sincere, and Christian is one of those
Special Ones.
May the Holy Spirit comfort Kris, Emma, His Parents, His Families and Friends and remember the
wonderful memories he gave us. He will be with us always, for the feelings in our hearts cannot be taken
away. He still lives in Us and in our Thoughts. We look forward to the day in Heaven when we will all be
reunited again.
May God Bless You,Christian, and all Your Family and Friends.

Family and friends,
2005 has not been an easy year to get through with the loss of our mother in June and, now, the loss of
~ Paul Corcoran, Lowell, Massachusetts
~ Tim Corcoran, Warwick
~ John Brooks "Brooksy", N. Kingstown, Rhode Island
~ steve harris, providence, Rhode Island
~ Lisa Baldino, Cranston, Rhode Island
such a young nephew with such great potential! The entire Corcoran family thanks all our friends for
taking a minute of their time to make an entry into this log! Let us all keep ourselves safe and healthy!
Keep the family ties strong and keep in contact with eachother! This loving family and these trusting
friendships are too valuable to lose track of!
October 11, 2005
I believe that Christian left this world as a full and rich man.
From the moment Chris was born he was filled with the love of family. He was blessed to have such
wonderful parents that knew
The truly important thing in life was to love one another and cherish the bond we share as a family. We
always celebrated any occasion to see each other, whether it be a holiday or any day, with a hug and a
kiss. Those hugs and kisses filled our souls and enriched our lives so much that they spilled out to the
rest of our family and friends. If you could measure love with money, Christian was a very rich man.
I believe that Christian had many families to share his love with. The family he grew up with, the family
he created, the friends he went to school with, the people he worked with. Christian had a way of
warming you up and making you feel like your life was special. He was always the one to offer a hand or
be there when needed. It didnt matter if you were tied by blood or friendship; you always felt that Chris
was there for you like a brother.
I think that he is there for us still, looking out for all of his families. He needed to make a big statement
so that he could talk to all of us now. Christian you have our attention.
Take care of yourself! Dont take your health for granted one more minute. Be checked, be screened,
get done whatever needs to be done. Make the call this week and Chris will be with you.
I thank God that I was Christians brother. I thank God that I could share his life and be enriched by it. I
thank God that he had so many families and that his life touched you all.

I was fortunate to know "Corky" since we were kids,working at the "Rooster" together.I will never forget

friend of mine.My deepest condolances to the family and friends of Chris "Corky".Mr and Mrs C. don't
hesitate to call me for anything,I'm right up the road.
October 08, 2005
I amstill in shock. Such a loss to us all who knew you. People like you are hard to come by. Always a
smile, rearing to go. We had some unbeleivable times. The Rooster would not have been the same
without you. The memories are still so clear. We like so many of your friends were like brothers. Way
too soon for you to go.

October 07, 2005
Dear Tracy, Tim and Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
Although I did not know your brother, as a friend I feel your sorrow. My thoughts are with you.
October 07, 2005
Dear Dick and Pricilla, I am writing this in great sadness for the loss you have had this week. It is a
nightmare to lose a child. When my younger sister died, I watched my mother struggle with that pain all
the rest of her life. I am in prayer for you all, and I send you love. I am very happy to know that you are
surrounded by friends and family that will hold you close.
October 07, 2005
I have not spoken or seen Chris in many years. This will not impact the memories I feel blessed to have.
Chris's smile alone will stay with me forever. Such a great loss.
October 07, 2005
Tim, Tracy and Family,
They say grief is like a fog. A fog, I think, would be a relief. What you must feel now is a horrible, terrible
rain that makes it hard to breathe. We have umbrellas here. Big ones.

To the Corcoran family,
Everyone who new Chris will suffer this great loss. My heart goes out to his entire family and especially
his daughter. I know he will be looking over that precious little girl. Chris, I remember you from years ago
growing up with Bobby. You were like a brother to us, I will never forget that beautiful smile you had.
You are a true genuine person on the inside and out. You will be deeply missed by everyone who's lives
you touched
October 07, 2005
Mr & Mrs Corcoran,Tim & Kevin,
My family and I are so sorry for your loss. When Mr. Corcoran came over to tell my parents the news it
was overwhelming.
I remember growing up with Chris, following him,Armand and Joey around wanting to be part of the
group. Playing hide-n-seek,tag football,sledding at 2nd beach and snow ball fights.
As years past and lives changed I very rearly saw him but was kept up to date by info shared with my

that your Mt.View Family will always be there and will forever love Chris.
October 07, 2005
Kristen, Emma, Dick Pricilla, Tim, Tracy,
I was so pleased that I got visit with Chris on Friday. His spirit was up as he was always. I spent many
hours jamming with him in the Kitchen of the Red Rooster Tavern, his talent and keeping everyone in a
happy mood was what Chris was all about. I watched the romance beteen Kris and Kristen and
attended the best wedding when they got married. Wherever Chris was everyone smiled, because he
had a happy face always.
I will miss him more that words can say. I will be eternaly grateful that that young 16 year old entered
my personal and professional live.
I wish Kristen and the Corcoran's much strength during the remembering time.
Normand Leclair
October 07, 2005
I can't say that I have spoken to Chris in 15 years, not since we both graduated from high school. I can
say that there cannot be a better world without Chris. He was a tremendous athlete and an even better
teammate and friend. Although years and paths separate us all in one way or another, I will always have
the fortune of my experiences with him, and the positive effects they had on me. I wish only that my
words offer something to those that knew him so much better than I, and are feeling such sorrow at this
time.
October 06, 2005
Dear The Corcoran Family,
We can't express the sadness we feel about the loss of Chris.We think about Chris and hope if you
need someone to lean on it would be your old friends and neighbors.Our hearts are hurt now and
hopefully we can think that Chris is in a peaceful place.Like it was said before there will always be a
bond between "Mount Veiw Families". Chris will be so missed and thought about often. God bless all of
you.
Love Al,Joe, and Beanie Petit
October 06, 2005
Aunt Cilla, Uncle Richard, Kristen, Tim and Kevin, when i heard about Christan my heart went out to you
all. I did not see him often but when i did he always had a smile on his face and that is what i will
remember. He will be missed and always loved. My love to you all.

1967.....the Corcoran's moved to Floral Ave in Mt. View....and the Corcoran's moved to Floral Ave in Mt.
View. We had no idea then just how strong our friendships would be, some 38 years later. I remember
visiting soon after Christian was born, so happy that the compliment of Corcoran "brothers" was
complete. So many trips to the beach, so many laughs, so many memories. Although we haven't seen
Chris in many years, we have been able to follow his adventures in life, including his latest, and
greatest....becoming a husband and Daddy. We are so proud to be your friends, but our hearts are
broken for you now. We have held you in our thoughts and prayers all week, and wish we could be
there. Our special love to Kristen and Emma, Kevin, Celeste, Tim, Tracy, and their families. God Bless,
Pricilla and Dick...we love you.
October 06, 2005
I had the pleasure to work with Christian for the past couple of years in Newport. Words cannot express
the emptiness that lies in my heart right now. Christian was someone who always gave you a great big
hug when you walked into the restaurant. Chris always spoke so highly of Kristen and Emma & was so

~ kem roy neal, newport, RI 02840, Rhode Island

proud to be a father and husband. I always told him that the song Heaven by LIVE reminded me of him. I
think of those words now when I am mourning his loss....
"I don't need no one to tell me about heaven,
I look at my daughter, and I believe
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth,
I can see the sunset, and I perceive..."

Kristen and Emma,
There are no words to express the sadness I felt when I heard about Christian. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Jen

KRISTIN, EMMA, MR. & MRS CORCORAN, KEVIN, TIM AND EXTENDED FAMILY: CHRISTIAN WAS
ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, FRIENDS THAT DON'T COME BY TO EASILY. THE MANY YEARS WE
WORKED TOGETHER AT THE RED ROOSTER WERE SOME OF THE BEST IN MY LIFE, NORMAN,
TERRY AND FRANK CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT FOR US AND WE WERE KNOWN AS THE
ROOSTER CREW, IN WHICH WE LEARNED, LAUGHED, LOVED, FACED TRIBULATIONS, FED
PEOPLE BY CANDLE LIGHT ON ( IN THE KITCHEN TOO BECAUSE WE LOST POWER!!) ON
VALENTINES, SACO RIVER TRIP ( SACO!!!) WHERE STEVE H. COULD'NT GO EVEN THOUGH HE
PLANNED THE WHOLE TRIP, ANYWAY, YOU CAN BRING THE LOVE WITH YOU. I DON'T BELEIVE
IN GOODBYES, JUST PEACE, GOD GIVEN PEACE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO EVERY ONE WHO
KNEW AND LOVED CHRIS AND KNOW THAT LOVE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO HEAL THE
DEEPEST OF LOSSES. I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL OF THE THINGS WE DID TOGETHER AND

Dear Priscilla, Dick and Family,
There are no words that will soften the pain you feel in your hearts right now.....but in time you will
remember all the wonderful years he gave to all of you....how fortunate you were to be blessed with such
a wonderful son and brother...and be very thankful that he was in your life if even for such a short time.
You must all support each other at this time....all of you are deeply hurting. God Bless you Priscilla,
Dick and family and remember the good and wonderful times in life.
My Sincere Condolences,

Mr. & Mrs. Corcoran, Kevin, and Tim,
Words can not express the deep sadness I feel. I just want you all to know that you are all in my
thoughts and praryers. Chris was such a kind and caring man who I know touched the lives of everyone

he met. He will be greatly missed.
October 06, 2005
Mr. and Mrs. Corcoran, Kevin, and Tim:
I wish I could think of some words of solace that could ease your pain even in the slightest degree, but I
know words are futile and I can only hope that the loving strength of your family, and the support of your
friends will help you heal. As Alan said previously, I remember when Chris was born and Kevin telling
Doug and me with pride that he had a new little brother. There is something about the landscape of
Mount View that brings the people there together, and though we move away and explore other places,
we seem to be rooted there in heart, memory, and innocence. As have all the Corcoran boys, Chris
grew into a humble and gracious man, confident and kind, witty and just plain fun to be around. I believe
at some point age differences stop to matter, and even though I did not grow up with Chris as a peer, I
remember just a few years ago hanging out with him at Dave's house and realizing that we had a lot of
common interests. In no way do I intend to be trite by saying, Chris knew food, and we had such a great
conversation about some of the new preparations about which he was excited. Some people never seem
to come to life; Chris fully inhabited his life, he exuded happiness, and he brought other people toward
such wisdom. I grieve with you for your son and brother, and a little boy I had the good fortune to meet
as a man.
October 06, 2005
Tim, Tracy, and Family,
I am so sorry for your terrible loss. Our thoughts are with you all.
Love,

Dear Tim, Tracy, Kristen, Dick and Priscilla:
You are in our thoughts and prayers today and in the weeks to come. We remember Christian fondly
from Tim and Tracy's wedding and baby shower. We know how much you'll miss him, but know that he
is loved by God and you'll be together again in heaven.
With Love and Sympathy,
Vickie and Charlie Carroll

Chris will always be remembered by so many as the smiling, loving, happy guy that always made you
feel at ease when he was in the room. Back during the rooster days where no matter how 'in the weeds'
we all were, he'd always make you laugh or smile just by catching your eye or rattling off a little joke.
He lightened the air just by being there. Those 8 years as part of the 'rooster crew', especially when
Kristen came on board, I will never forget and I think of so often. All of our 'after-work outings' I think of
and smile, because I learned so much from you both. I can't think of a time when a smile was not
present. This happiness and love that surrounded Chris and Kristen, and Emma, will live on forever. My
deepest thoughts go out to Kristen, Emma, and all of Chris's family. May this happiness surround you
during this extremely difficult time. My prayers are with you all.
October 06, 2005
I am sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Chris from high school. He was a wonderful person. My
prayers are with you and your family.

The Corcoran boys. There were 6 of us who grew up on Floral Ave. Three boys at 27 Floral Ave. and
three boys at 67 Floral Ave.
I'm flooded now with the fondest memories growing up in Mount View. I clearly remember the day Mr.
and Mrs. Corcoran came home from the hospital with their new baby. Mrs. Corcoran sat on a folding
chair in the driveway and everyone on the street came by to welcome Chris, the newest member of
Floral Avenue.
I have not seen Chris in many years, but his passing has hit me hard. Chris reminds me how important
every day is that I have my parents, my brothers and my friends in my life even if they are thousands of
miles away.
Kristin, Emma Rose, Mr. & Mrs. Corcoran, Kevin and Tim, my prayers and heart go out to you.

Growing up in Mt. View, it seems like I've known Chris since...forever! Of course, life happens, we all
move on, and friends lose touch. I'm sad to say I hadn't been in touch with Chris in many years, but
thought of him often. I remember Chris and I constantly joking around, and wed always refer to each
other as sister and brother. In retrospect, I take that as such a compliment.
I never knew Chris as the husband or father, but as the boy with braces (from like 5th grade until we
graduated, I think!!) from a few streets away. When I think of Chris, itll always make me smile. Ill think
of fun, easy times, his permanent smile, and just a kind, good-natured guy that was always there for a
friend.
My deepest sympathies go out to Mr. and Mrs. Corcoran, Kevin and Tim, your families, and of course
Kristin and Emma.

Dearest family, it is with a heavy heart and tearful eyes i send my
deepest sympathy. Chris has gone to a better place im sure, his smile will shine on us forever.

Tim, I saw the look on your face when you told me of the news that your brother was sick. I can't
imagine what you are going through. May God look down on your family with kindness and love in this
time of sorrow. Anything I can do, just ask. My heart goes out to you.

I am extremely sorry for your loss. Chris was a friend of mine all through high school. We played football
together, shared a lot of classes, hung out together and graduated together.
Im stunned and I really dont know what to say. Words cant explain the energy and life in Chris.
He was one of the best people Ive ever known and he will truly be missed by anyone that ever met him.

Kristen-
Words can not express the shock of losing someone that we in this world were so blessed to know. I
can not remember a time Chris had anything less than a warm smile and a hug for anyone in his path.
He will be deeply missed by many.

My first day as a freshman in high school was a scary day. Big school..new
faces..Juniors..Seniors..who already knew their way around campus, not a fun day. Chris was one of
the first people I met in H.S. His goofy smile could make you laugh without even knowing what you were
laughing at. His heart as big as the sun and his sense of humor..better than any comedian. The last
time I spoke with Chris..he had called his good friend Bobby McCaffrey to brag about just having a baby
girl. I got on the phone and spoke with him and he sent a chill down my spine..just the way he spoke so
highly of his wife and his new baby girl. It was like that was all he ever wanted out of life. Chris..you
were a great guy and you will NEVER be forgotten. You will be missed by so many people. As I sit here
in front of my computer and write this..there is a sadness in my heart that won't seem to go away. One
day you will meet with your wife and your daughter and your family and it will be a great day. Until then
keep smiling and making people laugh. My heart goes out to your wife and your daughter..may God be
with them and also with your family. Rest in peace Christian. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

I am truly sorry for your trajic loss. I will keep your family in my prayers. May your love for each other
give you strength and comfort each day.

I am an old friend of the Corcoran boys from my days as a child growing up in N.K. I remember Christian
as the youngest boy that was trying to tag along with his older siblings. All I can say is that my memory
of all of them is that they were good, decent people and I am sure Christian was someone special. To
all of his family and friends, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
October 06, 2005
I am extremely sorry for your family's loss. May god be with you during these trying times.

KRISTIN, DICK PRISCILLA AND FAMILY, GIL AND I WANT TO EXTEND OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY
TO YOU ALL FOR THIS TRAGIC LOSS. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BUT WILL BE IN GOOD
HANDS UP THERE. LOVE KATHY AND GIL

My family moved to North Kingstown in 1978 and as luck would have it, we became "rear-yard"
neighbors to the Corcorans. We couldn't have asked for a nicer family to grow with and share good
times and bad with over the years. Many a birthday and holiday were spent bellied up to the bar
laughing and telling stories. Christian was the youngest of the Corcoran boys, as I remember a little
blonde hair, blue eyed boy full of life and ambition. Christian carried that drive and desire with him

~ Dan Gannon, North Kingstown, Rhode Island
throughout his life. Over the years I watched Christian grow up from the little boy of so long ago into a
young man, replete with responsibility and a strong sense of family values, to which I am sure he
learned growing up on Floral Ave. under the direction of Dick, Cilla, Kevin and Tim....all first class people
in their own right. On this day we loose a "REAL HERO". As we grow older, children are born, families
grow and good friends attempt to stay in touch. Christian, you will be greatly missed by family and
friends alike, and the Corcoran family will be in our prayers and thoughts. We love you guys..Danny,
Angela, Samantha and Nick
