He was a devoted follower of Christ, a servant leader, small group leader, mentor, encourager, teacher and prayer warrior. He loved his family immensely, enjoyed golfing, going for long drives and cooking for those he loved. He loved and valued people well. He saw the significance in everyone. Chris was a great listener and wonderful comforter, always ready to give the biggest hugs. He was funny and was always joking and laughing with those that encountered him.

I will never forget how he would give me big hug every Sunday at the movie theater. He was a very very kind person who loved people and made them feel important.

Many years ago Chris was in my homeroom and also a student of mine. I vividly remember the smile and his gentle nature. The start of each school day was a pleasure because of his presence. My condolences at your loss. The world has lost an angel.
