Chris was born on May 6, 1963 in Medford, OR son of Leah Reavis Queen of Medford, and the late Melvin.

In addition to Diane, Chris is survived by his stepchildren, Kaitlin (Nick) Polastri of Branford and Justin (Jennifer) Pelazza of Wallingford; his granddaughter Charlotte Polastri, his sister Cindy Queen of Portland, OR and his brother Joseph Queen of Medford, OR.
