Christopher Varner Obituary
Born in Asheville on November 19, 1978, Christopher was a man of diverse talents and intellect.

He most recently applied his skills and hard work as a member of the team at HCA Mission Hospital.
Christopher was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth Donald Varner Sr., and his stepfather, Tim Phillips.
He is survived by his mother, Janet Lynn Lindsey Phillips of Asheville; his children, Kayla and Izik; his brothers, Kenneth of Asheville and Jean-Paul (Sarah); and his sisters, Stephanie Varner (Chuck) and Melissa Ketterman (Anthony).

His next of kin is Stephanie Varner. I haven't spoken with Chris in ages, but he had a lot of heart, and is someone I grew up with. I will never forget him. Rest in peace brother.
