Eric Penfold posted a condolence
Friday, August 21, 2020
We’re very sorry to hear about your loss. Chris was a coach of mine for three years in high school on the Buffalo Saints Select team. Chris helped lead us to be NYS Champions and helped us to finish 3rd in the nation at the Nationals. Chris was one of my all time favorite coaches and helped shape me into the man I am today. He was always there for us and always taught us to be positive about our obstacles. Chris will be missed by many and I just wanted to share my appreciation for him as the person he was in my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Panek family. Sincerely, Eric Penfold and the Penfold Family

Dear Pat and Frank,
My deepest condolences on the passing of Chris. I will always remember him as that fun loving kid that I got to know when he was playing with the Junior Sabres. In the years since whenever I would see him he always went out of his way to say hello and always brought a smile with him. My prayers are with your entire family.

Chris was a solid hard working South Buffalo kid from an equally solid South Buffalo family. His death has rocked so many to their roots. God speed to him and may the Angels lead him quickly to paradise. May his family be comforted by their strong faith . May his soul, and all the souls of the faithfully departed, rest in peace. Amen

Dear Frank, Pat, Brian, Gary, Tim, Cooper and the entire Panek family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. The Panek family has, for such a long time, been like the first family of hockey in Buffalo. However, I think it has more to do with amazing people who give their time and kindness more than the actual sport itself. Chris was bigger than life and always had time to chat, catch up, and was genuinely excited to see you. He will be missed.
Chris is in our thoughts and your family is in our prayers,
God bless,
Jeff and Joanne Meredith

Dear Pat & Frank & Family,
We can't express our sincere condolences to your family. When we heard yesterday that Chris had passed away, my family were very sadden. My sons, Kraig & Mark feel so sad that Chris was one of their friends since grammar school. They talked today when they played street hockey and how good he was at that game. He was one in a million. You can be very proud of him. He was raised by wonderful and caring parents, and it shown. He may be gone from your lives but never from your hearts.
i will keep him in my prayers and also both of you there too May Chris (RIP)..

My sincere condolences to the Panek Family and to those who played with and knew Chris. He was a very gregarious guy who enjoyed life to the fullest - always gave from his heart on and off the ice. He was a member of the 1987 PSUC Cardinals who won it all. May God grant him eternal rest through Jesus Christ our Lord.

My deepest condolences are extended to Sally and the Panek family. Chris will be greatly missed by all of those fortunate to have known him. He will be fondly remembered for his quick wit and great sense of humor. Chris made an everlasting impact on the lives of countless young men that he coached and mentored over the years. There are just some people who become household names in South Buffalo for their athletic accomplishments, community involvement, and wonderfully contagious effect on others. Chris will certainly be forever remembered in that way. We are all better off for having known Chris. May he now rest in peace.

Frank, Pat, and the entire family
There are never the right words or expressions of sorrow that I can extend to you. I want you to know that I thought so much of Chris over the years. He was always the best to extend his friendship and warmth in the manner that was him. He will be missed in so many ways from the people that loved him and the many individuals that benefited from his presence. My thoughts are with you and the family throughout this time of sadness. I only hope the peace that will be with him will extend to you, Pat, and the family. My deepest sympathy, prayers, thoughts, and emotions will be with you.

My deepest condolences go out to the Panek family. Chris was one of a kind, he will truly be missed. He always had a smile on his face, even when he was yelling at you when you were reffing one of his games. When the game was over he always asked, where are we going for a beer. It won't be the same going to Ref a Timon game anymore. Rest In Peace My Friend, this world was a better place because of you.
