In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Burlington County, NJ Animal Shelter via https://burlingtoncountynj.formstack.com/forms/animal_shelter_donations.

Chris was an organ donor. His generous contributions ensured that several others will live on in his absence. "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls". Matthew 11:28-29
