Farewell Jaenschy. You have been, and always will be, someone that I look up to and aspire to be more alike. Thank you for the laughs, the banter, the advice, your shared passion for aviation and kitesurfing, and for being there as a mate.
Lizzy, Isaac and Mason; it was a pleasure to have known your husband and father. He will be sorely missed and forever live on in our memories. He truly did make this world a better place. Our thoughts are with you and the rest of the family during this difficult time.

Such a beautiful service, and a fitting tribute to an awesome human being. I miss you Chrisso, and I am deeply saddened by this loss – I still cannot comprehend what has happened, how the world has changed so suddenly, but there are so many great memories to cherish and reflect on and I am glad and honoured to have known you and been able to share in a little of your special life. My deepest condolences, and thanks to the family for making it possible to see Chris off like this. Fair winds and blue skies brother!
RIP CHRIS. May you rest in peace.
From the little boy who shared a ride to school with Steven and Monique, to the grown man with a family of your own. You were always such a wonderful man.
May Lizzy, Izzac and Mason be comforted by your love for them.
May Kay, Lyall and Ben be comforted by their memories.
Memories are ours to keep,
Keep them close to your heart.

RIP Jaenschy, couldn’t think of a nicer bloke. A beautiful service and the sounds of the Bou echoing though the valley a fitting final salute to a great Dad, Husband, son, mate and fellow aviator. He will always be in our thoughts, never forget you mate. Thanks to everyone for making us who were unable to travel a part of the service.
Jaenschy,
It was an honour and a pleasure to know you. Your friendliness, warmth and sense of humour are going to be sorely missed- particularly amongst your mates at Qantas.
I have no doubt you’re in a better place- someone like you deserves nothing less.
Rest in peace Chris,
Dom.
So glad to have had the experience of working with Chris, even if briefly. A truly nice guy. My condolences to the family.
Our hearts break knowing the pain you’re feeling having to say goodbye to your dearly loved Chris. We’re thinking of you all & send our love. We haven’t seen him since he was little but he certainly grew into a handsome man.
Chris,
My profound sense of sadness today is tempered by the many great memories of being on your crew – over many missions and years, and in different parts of the world. I am indeed privileged to have known you as an aviator and a friend.
To the Jaensch family,
Please accept my deepest condolences and those of the wider RAAF community who knew and loved Chris so very much.
A lovely service, allowing us to hear how Chris graced others with his presence and providing us the opportunity to reflect on the memories we shared with him. A very special soul indeed.
Rest In Peace Jaenschy.

It was a privilege to share a little piece of your wonderful journey through life Chris. The laughs, love and friendship you so genuinely gave through your years here amongst us is a beautiful legacy that will live on in our hearts. Much love and big hugs Lizzy, Isaac and Mason.
Farewell Jaenschy.
Such a wonderful service for Chris.
In so many ways I felt so empty in the first 4 or 5 days after his passing when I thought about not seeing him or ever catching up with him again to enjoy his company.
Then I began to think more about just how fortunate I was to have met him in the first place and how lucky I was to be able to call him my friend.
My head and my heart will now be forever full of happy memories of the times spent together with him.
Farewell Chris. Blue skies and tailwinds.
Dave Franklin

I’ll forever miss your friendship mate, albeit brief. I smile at the memory of the last time we hung out in Canberra, where my daughter threw your coffee all over your eggs and me giving you heaps for wearing that silly hat in the lobby. You were certainly one in a million. Much love to your family; until we meet again my friend. Wade.
