Christopher Ward Obituary
Graduating from Weiser High School, Chris went on to hone his skills at the MPC Fire Academy. His professional life was marked by a diverse career, initially in the automotive sector, then as the owner of CRS Computers, and later as a Fire Apparatus Engineer for CalFire, a role that showcased his dedication and hardworking spirit.
Chris was deeply devoted to his faith, actively participating in the community of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His hobbies included spending quality time with his family, traveling, indulging his love for movies, and embracing the excitement of sports, hunting, and fishing.
He leaves behind his beloved wife, Faith, and his children, Rebeca and Evan. Chris was preceded in death by his brother Kenneth Ward and his parents, Paulette Collins and Arthur Boone Ward II.
A service to honor his life will be held on Saturday, September 7th, 2024, at 12:00 PM at The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, located at 1670 Cienega Rd, Hollister, CA. The arrangements are being handled by Black and Cooper Funeral Home in Hollister, CA. Christopher's legacy of humor, intelligence, and selflessness will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Faith and your family. My husband spoke of Chris often because he loved his sense of humor. We were honored to get to spend time with Chris and Faith and was hoping to get to again recently but life took this unexpected turn. As a believer, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I know you are in good hands Chris but you will be missed.

I truly enjoyed watching Chris and Faith in Church as they sat together with such love for our Heavenly Father. Such a sweet loving family he will definitely be missed by all. So thankful for our heavenly father´s plan of salvation that we will all be together again for eternity..

When I think of Chris, so many memories come to mind. Meeting him 20 years ago when my son and Evan started school together. I remember how his face would break into a smile whenever he saw me - at a school event, as I walked into his IT shop, or on the street. He was so very friendly and kind.

Chris had the biggest heart of anyone I know, as does Faith. The love he has showered upon my brother Alan is beyond imagining and we will always be in awe of the grace he bestowed to so many in his fully packed life. He will be in our hearts forever

Chris opened his home to my family at a really difficult time in mine and my siblings life as teenagers. He went out of his way to help us feel like we had a place to spend time and be cared for. I´ll remember his generosity to us forever.
