Chris Junker Obituary

Chris Junker, age 35, was born on April 2, 1975, in Covina, CA. He attended Centennial High School. He worked at Fresca Foods from 1993 until he began truck driving in 1999. Chris met his soul mate Melissa in 1993. Chris is blessed with three loving children. Chris passed away on Saturday, September 25, 2010, while doing what he loved - riding his motorcycle with his friends. He loved the outdoors and spending time with his family and friends. Chris had a contagious sense of humor and whenever he was around, there was never a dull moment. Chris was a dedicated hard working son, husband and father. Chris is survived by his parents, Larry and Gerr Ann; sisters, Lori Gibson, Stephanie Pratt-Kurko and Stacey Junker; wife, Melissa; and children, Kayla, Lane and LaKendra. Chris will be missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Melissa Junker at any US Bank location. There will be a celebration of Chris's life on Friday at 7:00 p.m. for the Bike Night located at Krispy Kreme Donuts on Eagle and Fairview, Meridian, Idaho. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Alden-Waggoner Funeral Chapel, Boise.

I knew Stacey and Chris from junior high school. I don't know if Stacey is around Boise, but she was a great friend in junior high. I was thinking of her today and looking for her and found this memorial for Chris. My deepest condolences to the Junker family.

I haven't known you guys for too long, but have thoroughly have enjoyed your company & friendship. I'm really sad that I didn't spend more time with your family, I loved every moment of it though, (especially picking on Lane & both Chris's egging it on.) You're a great family and are very strong. Chris will be greatly missed, but you guys will always remind me of him in things that you do.

Junker Family,

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Chris will be missed by many, and will continue to live on in our hearts and memories.

Although i'd seen him on the forum, I was glad that I got the chance to meet him in person (9/24/2010) - he was a great guy, awesome sense of humor; really fun to be around.

Will keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

"Hubbs"
