Chris, "Topher" to his friends, was a wonderful son, brother, and friend. He could light up the world with his smile. Even on your worst day, he could lift your spirits. He shared his love of life and enthusiasm with every person he ever met. Chris loved to play hard, in his boat, on his watercraft, camping, fishing, hunting, spending time with family and friends, and riding the open air on his Harley Davidson. Chris also had a home in Starkweather, ND, where he enjoyed hunting, riding his snowmobile, dirt biking, and ice fishing. Chris graduated from Tulare Western in 2002 and WyoTech University, in Laramie, WY. Chris leaves behind a legacy of love to, his mother, Paula Lasseter of Midway Park, NC. His parents, Earl and Yolonda Allen of Tulare, CA. Brother Greg Lasseter and sister, Brittney Rhoads, and husband Vincent, of Midway Park, NC. Brothers Rick Hodson, Jr. and fiancé Amber and Derek Hodson and wife Lula, all of Tulare, CA. Grandmother Peggy O'Dell of Sutherlin, OR, Grandparents Gene and Suzanne Capron of Pomona, CA, Van and Rosemary Allen of Lakeside, CA and Earl and Fredi Hammer of Mocksville, NC, many aunts and uncles, 9 nieces and nephews whom he doted on and played with as if he, too, was a childhood friend, not just an uncle. Chris had too many friends to name, but his life was shared with his companion, Shelbi Enos, and very special friends, Ryan and Sarah Giannini, Kevin Elliott, Matt Viera and his cousin Joshua Weece Vaughn. Chris was welcomed into the loving arms of his Sister Anneka Lasseter, Grandmother Cathy Weece, friend Beau DeLima, and his beloved dog, Powers, in the heavens above.
