“Chris’ tragic death has left an irreparable hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
He was a devoted, loving and loyal father, husband, son, brother and friend.
He had a passion for the outdoors and lived a life full of adventure. Chris never put less than 100% into every aspect of his life, his family, friends, hobbies and career.
