Christopher James "Chris" Bauer

I will always remember how Chris could always put a smile on your face even when you were having a rough day I met him while I was towing for absolute down in Newport and would always end up bringing a loaf to his shop Chris was a very down to earth real person at heart he will be deeply missed RIP bro

I met Chris when I worked at O'Reilly Auto Parts. It was my third or 4th day and he busted my chops for the way I was dressed since I hadn't gotten my uniform yet. I wasn't sure about him after our initial meeting, but as the time went on I realized that was his his style of humor and I started giving it back as much as he gave and we became great friends. The day I learned that Chris had the biggest heart was a few days after my mom passed he took me aside and we had the best conversation about the loss of our mothers. He knew exactly what I was going through and that conversation helped me more than I could ever express to him. I will miss his laugh and how we loved to mess with each other on a daily basis. My heart goes out to his family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My sincere sympathy to Lori and his entire family. Continue to enjoy all of your fond memories of him and I hope they can ease your pain.
