Kris was a very special brother. He always had a smile on his face and a warm hello for everyone. He had a pure heart and was the best Christian I have ever known. I will miss him very much but I am comforted by the knowledge that he is now healed and in heaven with his Lord and Savior. Jill Helber

Jack, Dottie, and family, you have my deepest sympathy at your loss. I did not have the honor to know Kris, but am so very glad to hear he knew our Lord and Savior. May God bless you and all those grieving Kris' loss with the strength, comfort, and peace that only He can provide. I apologize for having to miss the services Thursday, and wanted to pass along this note since I've grown so fond of your friendship and fellowship at St. John. In His name and for His glory, Chuck

Kris had an amazing gift of hospitality. He would always greet you by name and with an enormous smile. I don't think he ever knew a stranger and he had an uncanny knack for making you feel welcome and at home. I will miss this pillar of our church. He was an absolute joy to know.

Kris was a special, important part of our Xalt family at UALC Mill Run. He will be dearly missed.
