Christopher Allmand-Abarca Obituary
He is survived by 2 beautiful daughters, Kaylynn Abarca and Kalea Abarca,
Buggy was a loving son, a dedicated father, and a best friend to many. His early education began at Waianae Elementary and culminated at Redmond High School, setting the stage for his future endeavors. Professionally, Buggy excelled as a Real Estate Broker and Contractor, demonstrating a strong work ethic and a deep commitment to his craft.
Outside of his professional life, Buggy was an avid outdoorsman. He relished in hunting, fishing, and playing baseball and softball, sharing these joys with family and friends whom he cherished deeply. His love for the outdoors was paralleled only by the love he had for his family.
Buggy is survived by his mother, Tammy Burkley; stepfather, Micah Burkley; siblings, Jimenez Allmand-Abarca, Sasha Wolfe, Michael Allmand-Abarca, Maranda Wood, and Chloe Burkley. He was preceded in death by his father, Jimenez Abarca Jr.; grandparents, Henry and Connie Allmand, Jimenez Abarca Sr., and Flora Zamora Abarca.
A Celebration of Life will be held on June 1, 2024. Autumn Funerals in Redmond, Oregon, will assist with the arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Cocos Kids in Redmond, Oregon, a cause close to Buggy's heart, reflecting his love and care for the well-being of children.

I miss you Bug...so much. Life is going on, but it is not the same without you around. It´s so hard to find peace and I know you would want me to....Your memories flood my mind everyday and I think often of you and your girls. I remember when you loved to ride our horse happy, you were so little Bug..the years flew by........seems like life is so unfair. I hope heaven is as amazing as the Bible says it is. Love you Bug

Met Chris for the first time when Tammy sold my parents their home. He was so little. I have loved all of the times we ran into Tammy and the kids. He would give you a hug no matter what. Heaven gained a beautiful soul and can only imagine how much fun they are having with Chris.

Chris was an absolute wonderful person, even in grade school and high school. He was the same age as my son and they played baseball together. One day during a game, I was sitting in car way out in parking lot due to weather being very cold and me forgetting a blanket that day. Chris hit a foul ball and low and behold it hit my windshield. Chris came over after the game and apologized profusely. Tammy - what a wonderful son you raised. So likeable and loved his smile - wonderful personality and so polite.

Buggy is my middle son. He was an incredible man, a great son and father. He was talented and could build or fix just about anything.
He was involved in the family and deeply embedded in our community. He loved life and enjoyed many things like hunting, fishing, having a beer with his buddies and being with his family. His brothers and sisters could always count on him to be there for anything they threw together. He was the life of the party and is missed deeply.
