Thank you for leading this effort at GSA. It was an amazing day when we packed 7,776 bags of food for families that day.
Condolences from Art and Gloria Moscatello.
I worked with Chris in DC from 2003-2007. He was smart, witty and dedicated. What a terrible loss. Prayers sent to the family.

Dear Lori, David and Elizabeth,
We were surprised to learn of David’s passing at Church today. He has a legacy of beloved family and of Gospel outreach that remain to honor him. How many men and women will join him because of his faithful response to the great commission we will not know this side of heaven. Chris is home now with his heavenly Father. Our prayers are for you to be covered by God’s unfailing peace, extraordinary strength and supernatural comfort during this time. With love, Kerry and Christopher Walton
Hello Lori, David and Elizabeth, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You may not know me nor do I ever remember meeting you face-to-face in the past. However, I felt so compel to write and provide you my remembrance of Chris. I worked with Chris back in mid-2006 to late 2009, during the Enspier to Protiviti transition years. While under Chris’s mentor, guidance and leadership, I experienced and learned so much from him. His mentoring sprit continues today, because of the powerful and positive influence that Chris had on my career and me–this [his] mentoring sprit is radiant in me like the glow of a lit candle–and this light shall continue to illuminate the world as I carry in memory of Chris Brain Louden.
Lori, the Bakers send you and your family our thoughts and prayers during this surely devastating time. You’re never far from a tender heart in Lakevale. Searcy, Quin & Annabel
Good Times with Chris

We are truly sorry for your loss. When we lose a loved-one in death, we feel devastated. During these times, take comfort in God as Christopher did. For he “is close to the broken-hearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18)
Dear Louden family
Condolences and prayers go out to you all for your loss of Chris. It was truly an honor to have known Chris and always a pleasure when we interacted with each other. Chris was a good guy and I am saddened that he was called away so soon. We will all miss Chris in our own special way!

Dear Louden Family,
I am deeply sadden by Christopher’s loss. He was a significant part of the success for the federal PKI program. I had the pleasure of having him on my team for more than seven years and he will truly be missed. His passion for the program was like none other. My deepest sympathy to the Louden Family.

Dear Louden Family, we only now found out about Chris’s death. With our absence on the Vienna team, we heard the news when Micah attended a Young Life meeting last night and a few members of the team were present. We are praying for you and know that the God that sometimes can’t be found will wrap himself around you… May Jesus hold you and your family tightly during this time until you see Chris again… in a little while when we’re home forever. – Zach and Heather Kincaid
Dear Louden Family – I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Chris around 20 years ago as part of Federal government security activities, and have had a few interactions with him since then; I wanted to convey my sincerest and deepest condolences on his passing and on your loss. I always viewed Chris as a much younger brother – and enjoyed his wit, expertise, knowledge, and “can do” attitude – he was a wonderful colleague, and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May God bless and keep him – and all of you too.
Dear Lori and family, I just heard of Chris’s death this evening and am deeply saddened to hear of his untimely passing. I worked with Chris years ago at NTIS/Fedworld and he was my mentor and someone who I inspired to be like when I grew up. He was an amazing guy with a magnetic personality and of course most impressive technical skills. I have many great memories of Chris and I will cherish those forever. I regret that I did not get to express my heartfelt thanks to him in person, I always expected we would reconnect when we were retired and weren’t so busy with work 🙁 My love goes out to you all!
