I’m Kyle O’Neill, a good friend of Christopher Vang. He is from Abbotsford British Columbia. I believe his screen name is 90_DA. Yesterday evening there was a very unfortunate accident while he was fishing on the Fraser river. He was swept away by the strong current and has not been seen since. Here is the link to the CTV news story.
Chris was a friend to a lot of people and I’m sure he has many friends on here, and other car forums. I’m certain I can speak on behalf of G2IC when I say we wish Chris, his family, and friends all the very best.
Chris I miss you, everyone misses you so much. You are the best friend imaginable and I will never forget you. I feel honored to have been your friend.
I never want to think the worst. But it seems like the odds are against him. I would give anything to see him ok. I’m still hanging on to the slight chance for now. Chris please come home.
This really hit hard. He is well liked here. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Seeing his mom family and friends did it for me. Such a loss. I really hope he is just out there somewhere alive. But then again…
I had only met Chris a few times, but I knew the first time I met him that he was one of those people that would do anything he could to help a friend, and likely anyone in need, for that matter. I mean that sincerely. Those types of people can be few and far between these days. Holding out hope that something miraculous will happen
My heart goes out to his family. They must be just devastated
You said it perfectly. He would do anything for anyone. Such an honest down to earth guy. It makes me so angry to try and understand why this happened to him. I would give my life to bring him back. The world needs more guys like Chris.
This is terrible. I never met him, but he seems like such a nice guy. I loved his cars, and he always seemed to be very positive and respectful in his posts. I sincerely hope for the best, but if the unfortunate has happened, I can safely say he will be missed by many.
OH man I hate when this happens. It seem like everyone who is good to us in any way is taken from us. why? I wish his family my deepest thoughts and prayers. I never knew him or talked to him but i’ve seen him on the threads and his precence was felt and surely will be missed by many. May he be in a better place that can protect him from all harm here in this cruel world.
wow… im so sorry to hear this, this is a total shock… Im hoping for the best for him. i felt so bad when i didnt make it out to the BC meet a couple months back to meet him. seemed like a really nice guy on the forums.
I can’t even believe this… After watching the video of his parents and close family members I have have a couple tears in my eyes as well. I was supposed to meet Chris up shortly so that we could have our Hiro photoshoot together. Why… I really want to believe that he’s still out there, that he miraculously made it through the current. Even though he’s against the odds, he’s still in my prayers. I’m so sorry for his family. I can’t believe this…
