Christopher Hess Obituary
Christopher Scott Hess, 62, of Bellevue, Michigan, passed away Friday, December 26. He was born October 10th, 1963, to Suzanne and Clyde Hess.
Chris was an avid outdoorsman, loved tinkering with his many treasures in the garage, and was constantly working on cars. Chris had quite a personality—you had to know it to love him. He is lovingly remembered by his companion and devoted dog, Molly, whom he took everywhere with him.
Chris was preceded in death by his grandparents, Glenn and Gloria Loveless, Clyde and Esther Hess; his best friend, Keith Kleinfelt; and his nephew, Jesse Shepard.
He is survived by his children, Emily Hess (Charles Dudgeon), Jena Hess (Cecil Rose), and Dustin Long; his granddaughters, Graycen and Hudson; his mother, Suzanne Hess; his father, Clyde Hess; his siblings, Angie Hess (Noah DeWyse) and Curt Hess; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces.
Respecting his wishes, there will be no public service.
