  1. The driver of the Dodge Neon had better be Thanking God for his LIFE, knowing he killed an INNOCENT person and hurt many others. My heart and prayers go to the Gunn Family. I hope the driver will get life in prison so he can sit in there realizing what he did to take an innocent persons life. He took Gunns’ life, the driver doesn’t deserve to live a life.

    the driver of the Dodge Neon is put in jail for life for taking an innocent mans’ life and hurting many others. He does NOT derserve a life outside of prison. He should NOT be given another chance to kill or hurt anyone else. In jail he can’t make any decisions to getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. Doesn’t matter if he apologizes for what he did, it doesn’t bring Mr. Gunn back. Make him pay for this.

  4. Chris was a good friend who always had a smile on his face. He had retired just a day earlier after many long faithful years of service where he worked for Swiss Dairy Los Angeles. Against the nature of his death, Chris came up with the company’s safety motto and just a few months earlier won a safety incentive certificate.This senseless act has left a man unable to experience the joy of his family & his friends & reap the rewards of his hard work. This is truely a sad tradgedy. May you Rest in Peace Chris.

  5. My condolences to Mr. Gunn’s family and his friends. i hope the wrong-way driver receive heavy punishment for his negligence that resulted to someone else’s demise. it’s one thing that the Dodge driver was racing then he adds wrong-way driving in his offense.
