Christopher Wayne Summy, 57, of Bethany, Missouri, passed away in his home on October 24th, 2025. Born on November 14, 1967, Chris was a lifelong Kansas City Chiefs fan, which was a passion that he shared with those closest to him. His enthusiasm and warmth brought people together whether he was talking about sports, telling stories, sharing memories, or simply spending time with the people he loved most.

Chris is survived by his children, Constance (James) Slavens, Seth Summy, and Erin Summy; his 3 grandchildren, Jocelyn, Charlotte, and Jameson Slavens; his brothers, Billy Summy, Brandon Summy, and Waylon (Kelsey) Wheeler; his sisters, Kimberly Groves, Katherine (Chris) Thoele, and Nancy (Frank) Porter; and many beloved nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Laren Summy and Francis Wheeler. His remaining family is comforted knowing he is now in the embrace of his loving parents.
