Chris, male 41, was dying of breast cancer. He was disabled in chronic pain many years.He couldnt get treatment for the cancer . He was addicted to oxycodon for pain.
My best friend Christopher Coco, a Christian shot his 12 yr old daughter Mandie and they found her dead yesterday afternoon. My friend Chris then shot himself in the head as well. Please pray for his family and friends and that God would bring some good out of this horrid tragedy.

Chris was a disabled mechanic, from a car accident. He had chronic pain. He then got addicted to oxycodone, a pain killer. Then he found out he has inherited cyrosis of the liver, and then diabetes. Last straw, last August he found out he had breast cancer. They couldnt treat it due to low white blood cell count and liver problems.
He was a single dad and had raised Mandie since birth on his own. His gf left and is a lesbian and drug user in another town. His family wasnt very supportive toward him and Mandie. His sisters and niece lived nearby, but not alot of contact. His elderly mom is 80 and ill.
Chris has been in the projects most of Mandie life. He has always had financial difficulties. His older brother, who was a minister, killed himself about 3 years ago. It hurt Chris very deeply.
Please pray that God will have mercy on his soul, that Chris and Mandie's souls may rest in peace with Jesus and God Almighty.
Mandie was a troubled youth, very rebellious and loud and uncontrolled. She was running around with the drug infested neighbors and their kids and was being influenced to curse, yell, be direspectful and hateful, and her dad, Chris couldnt take the constant abuse and couldnt control her due to his poor health and disability. God have mercy. Receive these two into Your heaveny Kingdom. God help us who are dealing with the loss of this Christian man who was baptized 3 yrs ago and who loves You soo much. God help. Amen.:kiss: :hug: :groupray:

I am so incredibly & unbelievably sorry to hear about this tragedy. It sounds like Chris was very burdened, and I truly have prayed for their souls, as well as comfort & peace to the family left behind.

I pray God will find a way to use this to bring the rest of the family closer to Him, that they may find comfort in His word, and in each other.

God Bless, and I'm extremely sorry. My deepest sympathies to you....
