He is survived by his loving wife, Tracy; his father, Bill; his older brother, Craig; younger brother, Eric; younger sister, Lisa; nephews, Matthew, Michael and Daniel; nieces, Jillian and Amanda.
The memorial service will be held at 12 noon on Sunday, Dec. 12 at the Rose Family Funeral Home, and will be followed by a party in celebration of Chris's life.
