Even though life throws challenges at all of us, Chris never let things interfere with the man he chose to be. He invested time as a husband, a father, a friend, and a worker. He was passionate in all he did. It was impressive to watch Chris own his time on this Earth. The world was a better place with Chris and he will be missed.
