Christopher "Chris" Lee Cheesman, age 42, of Latonia, KY, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at St. Elizabeth in Ft. Thomas, surrounded by his loving family and friends. Born on September 6, 1982, Chris was the cherished son of Tammy Cheesman and the late Robert Cheesman Sr. He worked at McDonald's, where he was known for his dedication and friendly spirit. Chris was a man of simple joys and deep connections. He found peace in fishing, loved music, and was a devoted fan of the Cincinnati Bengals and NASCAR.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Heather Thomas-Cheesman; his children: Natasha 9Connor) Hicks, Zachary Thomas, Domanic Thomas (Jalynn Staley), Ashlee Miller, and Mary Lewis; and his grandchildren: Zane, Barbara, Hazelynn, and Preston. Chris also leaves behind his brother, Robert Cheesman Jr. (Heather) and Brian Cheesman (Madison); sisters, Diana, Sue (Frank) and Crystal (Hemilo); six nieces; eight nephews; sisters-in-law, Holly (Lloyd); and Mary Beth; nephews, Logan and Connor; niece: Sierra; his Mother and Father- in-laws, Michelle and Ken and his close friends: Bobby Skaggs, who was like a brother and Jackie, who all loved him dearly. Chris will be remembered for his warmth, humor, and the love he poured into every relationship. His presence will be deeply missed but never forgotten. A celebration of life will be held at the convenience of the family. Online condolences may be shared at SerenityFuneralCare.com or via Facebook.
