I didn't know Chris, but he helped me out when I was wanting to go to the Elvis tribute concert. I wanted to take my 92 sister but it was sold out. I called the theater, talked to Chris, and he comped me with two tickets.
My heartfelt condolences to the family.

I did not know Chris until the Aztec Theater re-opened. I noticed right away what a bright smile he displayed everyday. I also noticed the love he had for his family. I am so happy I got to meet this man and could share his joy, Thank you Chris for all you have done to make Shawnee what it is today. God bless you. Rest in Peace.
