Christopher Michael Barrios Jr.

My heart is now broken, forever. 

I have NEVER forgotten this story from the time I heard it. My heart constantly breaks, as Christopher's story has stuck with me throughout the years. I have two daughter's that I hold closer each day because of this world we live in. I just wanted you to know that I will continue to pray for you and your family and know that Christopher will never be forgotten! God Bless!!!

To this day I continue to grieve for this beautiful child.  He is forever in my heart. And I continue to lift his family up in love.  A connected stranger travelling through life and impacted forever.  Christopher you are loved. My your spirit find rest. 

Here it is 2013 and I remember Christopher and his story so well. I was born and raised In brunsiwck and my family knew the barrios family. My heart still hurts for the loss of this beautiful angel and every year on his birthday I send a happy Birthday and prayer his way. Rest In Paradise darling and Merry Christmas.

My heart and condolences go out to you all for your loss. I certainly across this site just today and itjusthappens that my son was born the same year as yours but during the summer. I'm in the safety and security business and I will do my part to make this a better safe world for our children so that no parent should go through horrible losses such as this. I am also speaking as a parent.May God Bless and comfort you all.

May our God above continue to keep th ewhole family going.  Please keep in mind the words at Proverbs 10:30 which informs us that 'the wicked ones willl not keep residing on the earth'   Imagine that if you as parents do not forget about your child, then also remember that  Jehovah God 'is not so unrighteous as to forget' Hebrews 6:10.

Without a warning no words spoken you were taken away someone said you could not stay empty and lonely is what we are we lost a precious shining star family torn apart your world began with a promising start life is unfair this difficult cross we must bear strength and courage we will find our special child always in our mind in a better place in is where you sit looking at that star you lit in our thoughts forever you will be never knowing why someone set you free.

This brought to tears and i don't even know you sweet boy, my heart goes to his parents and family members i know what it feels like through my aunt was also murdered in a horrible way she was stabbed repeatedly, raped, strangled and her body was burned to cover up the crime she left behind three young children, the narcissistic sociopath bastard that killed her in such a horrible way didn't get the death penalty he got life that makes me sick.  

R.I.P. Christopher SWEET ANGEL BOY. 

My heart aches everytime I remember the unthinkable acts. Although I didn't know him personally he was someone's son, grandson, brother, cousin and friend and he didnt deserve to be violated. He appeared to be such a sweet;loving child. My heart and prayers are with the family. I pray that God provides the comfort and strength you all need.

I was looking at my family history via the internet and by chance I came across christophers story.. heartbreaking.. such a Handsome little man.... sending all thoughts and prayers to his family from the Barrios family in Michigan... god bless you all

Today is my first time hearing about this and I have been crying since around 8am this morning. I was an athiest but this story made me realize angels DO exist and this beautiful boy was called home to Gods loving arms. I feel so much love for and from someone I have never met and I will FOREVER hold this little angel in my heart. WE LOVE YOU CHRISTOPHER. FLY HIGH. 

Dear family, God bless you all, i'm so sorry for this horrible pain that you endure each day with this great lose. Your baby boy, Christopher, is utterly precious and special!! Not to mention he is a handsome boy. Why he was chosen by God i do not know. but please know he is special and fortuanely to sit and run and enjoy each and every day in heaven. I know you miss him and you will always miss him but please remember and know you will one day hold and love and giggle with him again one day. Do not think of the pain and sorrow that was his for the last minutes of his life, for he does not think of this or even know of this. He only knows how lucky and special he is to play with and love God. he doesnt want his family continueing to cry and be sad, he wants you to all know that he is where he wants to be. He knows you will join him again in heaven so he looks forward to this beautiful reunion with his loving family. please find peace with this knowlege. THose sad people that caused his pain will forever suffer the pain they caused Christopher and his entire family, and the entire nation that read this story. Please know many people love and support you all, we all are prayer for you. i live in California and just stumbled on to your story on the internet today. wow, it's one of the saddest stories i've ever read. I have a son that was also born in 2001 so your story really hits home with me. ...God bless you all and please keep strong and hold on to the belief that happiness will come to you in the end. peace! Everyday you have a reason to smile and that is because you have a handsome angel that soars high in the sky and smiles down on you each and every day. 

I've often thought of Christopher and your family. I was living in the area at the time. I worked with Mrs Sue for a while at BK. I took off work one day to help look for Christopher. I remember thinking/feeling he wouldn't be where they were looking that day. I drove looking until I reached a four way. I started crying and something told me to stop.Later I saw that he was found in eyesight to where I stopped. I believe God knew I didn't want to find him that way. At times I wish I could be ignorant to the evil in the world. I hope your family has found peace in God and has lived the life needed to be with Christopher again one day.
thank u for this site. I have just now been able to look bad on it. It was nice to see the pics of him happy. It put some life into a not so happy memory. God bless and strengthen you.

 To the family of Christopher Barrios,

My heart aches for you all. This story has touched me in so many ways. I have not stopped reading about it or thinking about your son and what you must have went through and are still going through. I have two daughters who are now grown and I have a nephew who was the same age of little Chris. I cannot even being to understand and fathom why this terrible crime happened to Chris. I am heart sick over his death. He did not deserve to die! He was sweet and innocent and three human MONSTERS took his life! I want to say to don't give up on life. You have people out here who love you and will be there for you. I know I will be. If you ever need to talk to someone, please e-mail me. God is always here for you. Take it to God. RIP little angel. We all love you!   Deborah Moore
 

I've always concidered everything about this sad event terrible but I never could get a tear from it. I didn't even know this wesite existed until about 15 mins ago and I thought I'd go check it out. When the page opened up I began to read the home page and started balling.
God bless (:

i was only 14 when this happened and im 17 now and i still find myself thinking about this precious little boy that i didnt even know.my deepest sympathies still.and his story will forever make me cautious about my future children his life was short but you can tell he was loved. :)

My lord...your story has touched my heart, my soul is hurting, I literally cannot stop crying.....I have 3 small children and I truly could not imagine enduring such a loss, this beautiful child with a warm smile was taken from his family by monsters who deserve the ultimate punishment.....I am a stranger from NJ and although I didn't know Christopher personally he now and forever will have a special place in my heart, I pray for your love ones lil angel, I pray that God gives them the strength they need to deal with their pain, you are truly missed and loved and although you were here with your family for a short time when you look at this page you can see the huge impact you had on their life's......your memory lives on
