We have lost a significant presence on the forum. There were nuggets of gold in Chris's posts. To all his friends and family I send my condolences and my hope that you will find all the inner strength you need at a difficult and trying time.
RIP Chris. We'll miss you.
RIP Chris. We'll miss you.
The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being.

Oh I will miss you Chris; you lived a life of a very realistic reality, I hope we all could learn from you.
RIP my friend; I'm picking for you tonight my brother, lean your ear down a little and listen what I play for you.

so sad to hear this
if you have been posting on this site for any amount of time - you probably got some kind of smack from chris - you could sense he was a good guy with strong opinions and was there to help.
i consider him one of the founding members here and his wealth of knowledge will be sadly missed

This is very sad and shocking news. I have been away from the Forum for a short while and am now seeing this. I am deeply saddened. We all know that Chris Ivey was all heart beneath his sometimes terse demeanor. As so many have said, Chris really made the Forum fun. So what the heck happened? Seems he was just posting a couple weeks ago. RIP Chris , my fellow POCO fan. I will truly miss seeing your posts.

I did not know him well, but he had posted on my topics a few times.
He struck me as a Man who said exactly what he was thinking, and was a straight shooter. I will miss his subtle humor and comments.
God bless him, and condolences to his family.
Another Angel band member.
Rest in peace Chris.

This has been a tough one, Chris is the guy who helped me so many times in my quest to learn this instrument...
Like dumping a coupe dozen steel guitar albums on me to listen to so I would understood who the players were and the history of the steel guitar. So many times he helped me.
Beyond just a friend, he was my "Brother from another Mother"
I wish more people could have met him in person, all the things I have read here paint a pretty vivid and accurate picture of Chris, he was such a great guy, always honest in his words, you never had to guess what his opinion was, he was bound to tell you!
I can't recall how many times we've hung out over the years, playing steel guitar, going out to eat, going to see his shows, hanging out with him and his awesome other half Terry...I have more pictures I'll post later.
This is one person who probably had the most personal influence on my playing out of anybody. I for one, will think of Chris often, he made quite the impact on me over the years, both as one of my best friends and as a teacher of steel guitar.
I had traded emails with Chris the Thursday before the 4th, he was in his usual good mood, joking like he always did.
I wish we would have got together that weekend.

Take care Chris, if there is an "after", I'll catch ya' there!

Like Rich I've been off the forum for a while and shocked to see this today. Never met Chris but enjoyed his ability to drive a discussion.
Rest in Peace Chris, you will be missed.

So nice to see there is still a conversation over the loss of our friend Chris. Funny, I still feel he is nearby.
Miss you my friend.

it would be a nice nod to chris, if the original poster would consider editing the title and use lower case, instead of upper case letters. as many of you know, chris never bothered to capitalize.
ie: chris ivey instead of Chris Ivey
