The gregarious style guru rose to fame alongside fellow designer Steven Sabados -- Hyndman's partner onscreen and off -- in a series of TV shows that featured the couple's chemistry and affectionate rapport. In addition to CBC's "Steven and Chris," that included HGTV's "Designer Guys" and "Design Rivals" and the Slice makeover program "So Chic with Steven and Chris." Have you watched any of their shows?
Yes, didn't miss any

The story of Chris and Steven's relationship is a testament to true love. The two met in 1988, while arguing about feminism and the rest, as they say, was meant to be. The pair not only enjoyed a long and full relationship (they married in 2008 ), they formed a working relationship that endured. They started off founding a design company, and went on to become style gurus. What set them apart was their affectionate love and respect for each other that came through on screen and endeared them to their audiences. Even if they disagreed, they did it with respect and love, and this was responsible for a wave of similar shows, where two or more hosts discussed (and did not always agree) a variety of topics. Do you enjoy these types of "friendly banter" talk shows? I love these types of shows

Twitter has been full of testimonials to Chris, most calling him a "class act" and a truly wonderful human being. His death is being investigated, so information is limited. Since he was found dead in an alleyway, and police are not releasing information, do you think it is possible that it was an attack or hate crime since Chris was openly gay? Yes, I feel it will turn out that this is the case
