He was living in Memphis where he lived for 48 years. Chris truly knew that it was more blessed to give than to receive. His generosity knew no bounds. He was not only generous in life, but also in death as an organ donor. Chris was a loving father and soon to be a grandfather with a beautiful soul who would help anyone.

He was also an avid Cowboy's fan and was an extensive reader. He lived life to the fullest and especially loved spending time at the golf course, with his family and friends.
