Chris was an Aviation Electrician 3rd Class in the US Navy. He was a member of the American Legion Riders Post 352 in
Somers Point, NJ. Chris recently began working at NRG Energy Incorporated in Delaware as a Plant Equipment Operator.
Chris most enjoyed being around family. He could always be found playing with the kids or playing guitar, singing during a family function. If given the chance, Chris would talk your ear off about his kids. Tanner, Hunter, Michaela, and Ashley were his pride and joy. He was beyond proud to be their father and everything they have accomplished. Chris was the loud voice cheering on his kids, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews at basketball, soccer, softball, baseball, and lacrosse games. He always wanted to be there to support the people he loved. Chris loved spending time with Cindy, especially relaxing at the beach.
Chris was the person to go to if you needed anything and would give you the shirt off his back. He will be missed by so many that loved him, laughed with and at him, sang with, and enjoyed life with him.
