Chris Cannady

Dearest Craig, Leslie, Pete, Pat and Family, We are so sorry for you immense loss. I know no words make it better. After losing my brother I felt such heartbreak for missing my ‘protector’ of a big brother who always watched out for me and the heartbreak of watching the grimace of pain on my fathers face for losing a son. Thats not how the timeline is suppose to be. However when I was able to look past that, I saw the incredible life like ‘Chris’ who was the embodiment of a dutiful son, husband, father, brother, uncle and all the wondrous gifts of laughter, courage, perseverance and passion for those he loved and held dear, that is you all. What an amazing legacy and a testament to you all and your incredible family. We send all of our love, adoration, and gratitude for having the great gift of knowing Chris and being a part of your life. Sincerely, David, Laura, Ashton, Kaylen and Jillian Capps

Very sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Chris a number of years ago during the time he was at Cessna.

Shelly and Nick, I was greatly dismayed to see that my friend Chris passed away. We worked at Cessna together some years ago. I was our group admin and Chris was ‘one of mine.’ Always smiling. Always radiating energy and the joy of life. Always cracking me up with a funny comeback. We had many heart-full conversations and I will never forget Chris! He so loved you, Shelly and Nick, and always had a story to tell sweet or funny. It was obvious how proud he was and thankful to have you both. Chris was the kind of guy you were always happy to see. Im deeply sad for your profound loss.

Pete and Pat,
Larry and I are so sorry to hear about Chris. We will be keeping you and your family in our prayers

Dear Nick and Family,
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for your loss. May your dad, husband, son and brother be celebrating all the promises of heaven. God bless you all.

You are in my prayers Shelly! I love you and Jesus loves you. God will comfort you with His love and peace. John and Luz Cloy in GA

Pete, Pat, Craig and Chriss Family.

My deepest sympathies to all of you on the passing of Chris. Great memories of my childhood as Chris as my best friend. God has added another angel. Chris will be missed by all of us who loved him. With Gods grace we will be reunited in heaven with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of your tremendous loss. Know I am thinking of you and yours. Sorry I cant be with you.

Chris was a good friend of mine from 5th grade to 8th grade. He had character and integrity at an early age. Im sure it was due to his wonderful parents. Chris was truly a wonderful friend and I have never forgotten his positive attitude. I can only imagine that he was as great a husband and father as he was a friend. I pray heaven has gained a brother. I look forward to meeting again someday. RIP Chris. To his family I am so sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you all. Jeff McDonald from 9016 west 11th.

Dear Cannady family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Chris was a wonderful coworker who I had the pleasure to share many work events with. I will forever be grateful for those moments and will miss Chris wonderful smile and sense of humor. My thoughts are with you during this time.

Shelly and family-
We are so sorry to hear of Chris passing. We will remember him and his great sense of humor always and smile. Please know we are here if you need anything! Prayers and big hugs from your girls. Kendra & Michele (RNs)

Shelly, Nick, Pete and Pat, Craig and the Cannady family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Chris passing. As classmates and roommates during our time as engineering students at Kansas State, I have had a flood of memories come rushing to mind. Chris was the source of frequent entertainment at our morning donut council in the K-State Union where we would gather nearly every day. His dry sarcastic wit was always on point, he was big personality in our group and a strong leader, whether kicking around campus, cramming for an exam, or blowing off steam in Aggieville. A road trip to Wichita to see Van Halen, comes to mind where I got to meet Pete and Pat and his brother Craig. Chris was my host to his hometown where I got to experience Suzy Qs chicken fried steak and curly fries, and a night out where he somehow finagled me a one night gig as the DJ at “The Magic Machine”, which somehow only paid for our bar tab when all was said and done… he was a master negotiator! As well, another road trip to Kansas City to see the Scorpions, and yet another trip to Lawrence to watch K-state play football… there are many tales, but it will suffice to say Chris was the best as both friend and accomplice. After graduation, Chris had departed to Lubbock for a job with TI, but eventually moved back to Wichita and a job at Boeing, which gave us yet another opportunity play softball and hang out with our social group. Though we grew apart as our careers went in different directions and family became central in our lives, any time we did happen to cross paths it was such a pleasure to catch up with an old friend.
I hope that the pain of your grief is somewhat lightened if only for a moment by knowing that his impact in the lives of those he met was great, his friendship was a gift and he will be remembered fondly.
Peace be with you all,

To the Cannady family, it was a pleasure to have known and worked with Chris. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26.

Chris was my best friend, true love and husband of 24 1/2 years. We met in September 1992 by mutual friends, Chelle and Todd. We dated almost 2 years and married in June of 1994 at Botanica. I will always love him. He was a wonderful husband and my best friend who made me laugh every day. Oh how I miss him so much xoxo, Shelly your wife

Chris was my Boss at Gulfstream for many years and he was one of my favorites. He was also my life coach , he often called me in his office to tell me to stop working so much and spend time with family and enjoy life. His advise on my things I still remember and he changed my life. I am so sad to hear of his passing. We had so much fun, He had a great sense of humor. I still use many of his jokes. I will say many prayer for yall and your family. Know that many here at Gulfstream really loved him , his friendship and leadership helped us . God Bless yall.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
