Christopher Fox Obituary
Christopher Douglas Fox is our hero. It was his joy and honor to sacrifice for the ones he loved. When surrender was all that was required, he fought with great valor, a true Marine. His bravery beyond compare. While battling death, he pursued a dream to mountain bike the arduous and spectacular White Rim. He accomplished this feat unassisted by the typical support vehicle and crew utilized by others taking the journey; just the precisely weighed and measured contents of the trailer fastidiously anchored to the back of his mountain bike, and the love of his life, Arlene Fox, riding fiercely beside him. There is no way to recount his many adventures. There are no words that can express what he means to us or describe the remarkable life he lived. Hero? Inspiration? Adventurer? Father? Husband? Brother? Son? Friend? Badass? He is all of these things and so much more. He lives on in all of us: his passionate (and occasionally difficult :)) wife; his three daughters; his many, many friends.
From us, to him: you are the most wonderful man in the world.
And what about some advice from the fantastic Mr. Fox? Drive fast and take chances!

Chris was my friend. I remember spending hours talking, him in Colorado and me in South Africa. I am shocked and saddened beyond measure to learn of his passing. He made me believe in myself. He taught me the meaning of perspective. I am honoured to have known him.

Chris Fox was my neighbor and friend. I had the privilege of watching Chris and Arlene raise their three wonderful daughters. He was a role model of what a father can be. I would witness his "one on one" lunches with each of his girls...they all have grown into the loveliest women. And it was so lovely to see the strong love between he and Arlene. I grieve the loss of this exceptional human being when our world needs all the good guys it can get. Rest In Peace , Chris. You lived a splendid, important life. Sending so much love and sympathy to the family.
