Chris was a manager at Water Products Co of Illinois in Bloomington since 2006. He was previously employed with Bradford Water Supply from 1999 to 2006. He enjoyed playing softball and was an avid car guy spending endless hours taking care of his BMW (aka his baby). Chris was a tremendous multiple sport athlete and a fierce competitor throughout his lifetime, and had found his ultimate passion training at Band of Brothers Martial Arts. It was there that he found true peace and an atmosphere of brotherhood.

Chris was a true family man, a caring and dedicated husband, loving father, son and brother, he loved nothing more than spending time with his wife, children and extended family. He was very fortunate to come from a very large family where faith, love and laughter was always abundant, he treasured having so many siblings and cousins in close proximity for his children to grow up with.

Chris had a tremendous work ethic, he was very driven to always give 110% into everything he put his mind to. He will be loved through eternity and missed beyond measure.
