A huge loss to the Westernaires family. Chris was such a blessing so many lives and brightens the mood and smiles of everyone he met. You will be missed Chris

**UPDATE** Christine Cooper Lemley has asked us to share the following message: "I would like to let everyone know that Christopher's father and I will be at the evening rides this week I will share some pictures and ask anyone that has pictures of him to please share them or give them to us. I also welcome any written stories anyone has of him to please bring those to me. He cannot have an open casket due to his injuries but I welcome small trinkets or pictures anyone would like to add to his coffin that he can have."

It is with immense sadness that we share the untimely passing of Westernaires alumnus, Christopher Lemley. Christopher graduated from Westernaires two years ago, and is one of the kindest people that one could ever hope to meet. He stuck around after graduation, became a Westernaires Posseman, and also happened to be a member of our Westernaires Alumni Association board of directors. Our hearts go out to the Lemley family, and to everyone who knew and loved Christopher.
