I have come to know Chris through work he has done for me over the years. He always gave me good advice regarding work, was fair in business, and usually exceeded my expectations with the finished job. I always looked forward to dealing with Chris when I had a need. He will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with the Allgeier Family.

So sad to hear of your passing, Chris. Through the years we always seemed to run into each other somewhere, usually at Lowe's.
Caring, compassionate, friendly, and loyal are just a few of the words that describe you.
I will never forget the words that you shared with me at my son, Derek's funeral. "Hang in there. God is with him." You comforted me. And I will never forget that, Chris.
I pray that God will bless your family with comfort and healing.
You will be missed, friend.

We were saddened to learn of Chris' death. He did a couple different concrete jobs for us about 12 years ago. He was so particular and such a kind and compassionate man. He touched our lives.

The news of Chris's death has deeply saddened me. My heartfelt and deepest sympathy goes out to his family. He was such a kind and sweet funny man. My husband , son and I met him when he came to do concrete work for us. He was the nicest guy and so easy to talk to. Ill never forget when my son Logan was younger, Chris made his hands and footprints in our beautiful patio he made for us. Later he took some of my sons baby chicks to keep for him and told him he could come and visit them and we did, along with my parents many times. What a wonderful man, you better believe Heaven has gained another beautiful angel. Rest in peace Chris and may God bless your family at this difficult time. ... Sincerely, Becky, Stacy and Logan Spaw

I met Chris last year in the driveway process. It is amazing what a mark someone can make on your life in such a short time. We had heard what great concrete work he did, we were not expecting this friendship that we immediately kindled. He was a man full of passion for his work his faith and his family. This man will be sorely missed by all who knew him and whose lives he touched.

Chris did work for my husband and I in late 2011 and again in 2012. He made such a impression on us; he was quite the perfectionist and his convictions were so strong. He was so unique and we loved him. He also would speak of his daughters and former wife and we knew how he loved them and how proud he was of them. We are praying for you all. May the perfect peace of Jesus be with you all.
