MATHERLY, Chris, 18, died Saturday, June 12, 2010 in Chesterfield, Va. Christopher Scott was born March 9, 1992 in Springfield, Mo. He loved his family, friends, music, and the colors black and red. He was goofy and a lot of fun. As he was giving in life, he is giving with his passing. Two organ recipients' lives have been changed forever because of Chris's gifts. In accordance with Chris's wishes, he was cremated. The family wants to thank all the emergency responders, the staff at VCU, and LifeNet for all their caring and expertise. Chris is survived by his mom, Janna Schaeffer, and brother, Anthony Schaeffer, both of the family home in Powhatan; his stepfather, Jason Schaeffer of Chesterfield; his grannie and granddad, Ann and David Burch of Aurora, Colo.; Nana and Papa of St. Joseph, Mich.; his Ma, Greatgran, Papa and Bernadine, aunts, uncles, and cousins of Texas; Skooter; and friends everywhere who all loved him dearly and will miss him every day. Celebration of Chris's much-too-short life will be Saturday, June 19 at 9 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Central Baptist Church, 1500 Courthouse Road, with Dr. J. David Turner officiating. Friends are welcome to come share their memories of Chris. In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested memorials be sent to Chris Matherly, P.O. Box 5562, Midlothian, Va. 23112.
