Chris was known to always have a smile on his face and a joke in his heart. He lived to make everyone laugh. He was loved for his humble personality and his ability to make them feel confident, loved and appreciated. He was the kind of person who would give you absolutely anything if you needed it. He was sometimes too kind, to a fault, but that was him. He loved his family more than life itself and his friends were family to him. He was one of a kind.

Nieces Fianna Quinn, Celia Irelyn, nephew Castle William. Grandsons David and Gunner. Granddaughters Jillian, Presley and Harlow and a list of friends too long to include.
