Chris Brenizer February 5, 1962 - April 23, 2025
Chris Brenizer was a quiet force-a private man with an easy smile. Long before "IT guy" was a common phrase, Chris was already building computers from scratch, solving tech problems just for the challenge. Highly intelligent, he never sought attention-he just wanted to understand how things worked.
He was a man of few words-but when he spoke, it was usually paired with a dry sense of humor. Chris grew up in Decatur County, Iowa. He attended Central Decatur and later pursued tech school in Des Moines.
Chris was also an incredibly gifted artist, filling many sketchbooks with his drawings.
Chris is survived by his parents, Raymond and Nancy Brenizer; his brother, Brent Brenizer and wife Tricia; his sister, Kelly Proctor and husband Dustin; and his daughter, Savannah and special family friends, Marlene & Jim Scott.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents.
