Chris contributed so much to the senior living industry. I worked with Chris as an employee at one of the Sunrise and we always had a strong mutual respect for each other. My sincerest condolences go to the family.

My deepest sympathy for your family. Chris and I worked together at Sunrise and remained friends after we moved on to other companies. Although he was a man of few words he would occasionally reach out and ask how I was doing. I always smiled when he would send those one sentence messages.
May he Rest In Peace.

He often shared how much he loved his precious children and family. He will always be remembered for his caring and thoughtfulness.

Kelly, Kay, and Children
I pray for you all that TIME will bring you Peace and Comfort. Nothing will sooth this pain but Time.
There are no words to convey the loss of my friend and colleague Chris Pfeifer. I've know him for over 20 years and learned so much from him professionally and personally. Even though I would tell him I don't believe he realize how valuable of a human being he was. God knows his contributions left on this earth.
