He graduated from Northwood High School and was an integral part of the Northwood community. Chris was the life of any gathering that he attended and was dearly loved by all who knew him. His fun-loving spirit was contagious. His love of life was only surpassed by his love for his children, Cole, Carson and Connor. Chris was a dedicated father who did whatever it took to never miss a baseball game or any event that his boys were participating in. He was so much more than a father, he was an amazing dad.

He was always giving her a hard time, while making sure she was taken care of. Chris loved his sister, Robin, like no other brother has ever loved a sister. She was his best friend and he was hers. They remained incredibly close filling their time with lots of laughter until his passing. He will also be missed by family and countless friends.
