October 7th, 1967 – July 6th, 2025
Christopher Joseph Kies, 57, and his wife Jessica Kies, 47, of Palm Bay, Florida, passed away together in a tragic accident on July 6, 2025.
Chris was born on October 7, 1967, sharing a birthday with his mother. He worked for the City of Palm Bay and built a life there with Jessica.
Chris is survived by his mother Sheila Delgado, and her husband Danny; his brother Jason Kies and wife Jennifer; his father Bruce Kies and his wife Marion "Beep" Kies; his sister Latisha Waters and her husband Chet; and a large family of siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who loved him.
They are gone too soon and will be missed more than words can express.
In honor of Chris and Jessica, the family encourages everyone to reach out to someone who may be struggling. A small act of kindness can make a lasting difference.
A private memorial will be held for immediate family.

I met Chris through Jess when I started working at DG. Although I left, he asked me to stay. He said, "Don´t leave my wife; she likes working with you." And I like you too. Jess trained and taught me everything I knew. They were the sweetest and funniest couple I´ve ever known. I think it was my 2nd week working and I remember one day Jess was not feeling well but she came to work anyway because they couldn´t find no one to cover her. I told Jess I said life is to short girl you should´ve of stayed home. But I made her sit in the office all day. Chris said Tasha keep an eye on her and if any happens call me and she gave me his number. I usually don´t write in these books ever since I lost my son, but this couple meant something to me.

Ken and I are so very sorry for the loss of Chris and Jessica. Chris was a very kind and sweet man who always had a smile on his face and a friendly greeting. May they rest in eternal peace.
