He enjoyed working with his hands building fences and using his carpentry skills to make furniture. His favorite gift he completed with his father was a doll house he built for his granddaughter Ainsley.
Before illness took over Chris moved home to care for his mother in her last years where he cooked, cleaned, shopped, and honored her in her last days and he later did the same for his father.
In the last years of his life Chris found the Lord and peace in life. He was looking forward to seeing his parents and sister in heaven.
