Reflections for Trooper Christopher Michael Van Krevelen

Jessica and family,
It's been two years, but you're still in my prayers. Chris was an amazing man that I admired with more respect that words could describe. Our Father is taking great care of him! You are all amazing people that I admire very much. Not many have the strength you do with what you've been through.

To the Van Kreelen family,
Just wanted you to know that Chris is not forgotten. I think of your family every Thanksgiving. You are in my prayers. I have enjoyed meeting you guys, but I wish it had been under different circumstances. God Bless.

Thanksgiving is coming up again, and you and your family come to mind frequently. I don't think the holiday will ever feel the same to me. I know you're in a better place, but it's always the people left here who feel such a loss. I will be praying for them through the holidays that they can find some comfort, because I know they miss you a lot.

I know this is a little weird, but I woke up today thinking about you. Thats not weird, but I just keep thinking of all the Halloweens we had growning up. The pictures of me as a devil and you int he race car driver outfit, talk about black mail !! I just miss ya. All the parties at Granda Bea and Granp Van's, bobbing for apples and all that stuff. And carving pumkin.... You were always a pumkin carving feen. We really had alot of good times growing up. Just feel like I was robbed of alot more good times we could of had. I love you !!!

Hey Chris,
I had another dream about you last night, they just never seem to stop. I think its you saying HI. I was going thru and reading reflections of everyones siblings that I met at the retreat. I cried, for them and for me. I miss you so much, I dont think that will ever change. There is so much that has happened in the last year and a half that I wish I could talk to you about. I've read others reflections about there being a link missing in their family chain, I like that analogy. You are the missing piece in our family !!! The missing piece in my life. I love you and miss you.
Always,
K.

May you rest in peace your work on earth is done. It is just such a shame that something like this happens to someone who does a great job for the people. Many prayers for you and your family watch over them and keep them safe as you will be missed but never forgotten.

I have known Chris since high school. He has always been a bright and friendly person who wouold always go out of his way to help others. He always took a few minutes out of his time to stop by on his way home to talk. He was a great person, a great friend, and great Trooper. May the lord look over you and your loved ones. You will always be missed my friend.

Rick & Kelly,
It was nice meeting you in chat the other day. I am sorry for the loss of your son & brother. From reading his reflections he sounds like a great man and a fine officer. You and all his loved ones should be proud.
Please take care of yourselves. I hope someday you find happiness and inner peace. If you ever need anything you know how to find me. We are forever bonded by the experiences in our lives.
Peace, love, luck, and happiness to you~!

I do not know RVK or SIS personally, but I did have the chance to meet them online. Truly amazing people. I am very thankful to have met you two. You are an inspiration to us all out their working the beat. God Bless Chris, RVK, SIS and all of us.

hardly a day goes by when I am not reminded of Chris. With the loss of fellow officers, I am strengthened in the knowledge of their comfort by being with our LORD, and by the example they left behind. Thru service and deeds, Chris is with us daily.

My thoughts are with you and your family. Not only did we lose a State Trooper but a friend, a HERO, and a famliy member. I myself one day would like to be a OHP Trooper and serve proudly just like you did. I thank you for being a hero and a role model for so many students like myself. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. God bless and may you be a peace watching over us.

I met Trooper Van Krevelen's father on line tonight. My heart goes out to him and his family during this holiday season. It is never a good thing when a parent hs to bury his child. I was impressed with "RVK" and his level of adjustment. It helped me as I have been thinking of my friend David Jones who was killed in January. Thank you Sgt. Van Krevelen, I do not think it was a coincidence we met tonight. I needed to see someone who has done well. May God be with you Trooper Van Krevelen, and may you know that you are still making a difference in the world even after your passing.

Chris,
It's three days shy of a year since you've been gone. I still can't believe your gone. I miss you so much, so much has happened, so much that I wanted to share with you. Our lives have been changed forever and I just can't help but think of last year and you standing in the door way at my work and smiling and saying , "I'll see you tomorrow." Everything changed that day, but one fact remains, We ALL are still very proud of who you were and love you very much!!!
Until til we meet in heaven,
Love Kelly

Chris,
My heart broke the day I heard the news that you were taken from this world. I know the Lord has plans for you that we cannot see yet, but it is hard to say goodbye even for a short while. I know you, Matt, Jeff, Rocky and all the other officers are watching over us now. Please know that we love you all and cannot begin to repay you for what you have given to us. I will do my best to help Jessica, your half, through this time. We will do our best to make you proud. We love you and miss you.
