Chris will be remembered for his fun-loving spirit and his unwavering dedication to those he loved. He will be missed dearly by all who had the privilege of knowing him. In the words of one of his loved ones, "My favorite memory of Chris was the first time he held Christopher for the first time. My first impression wasn't the best of Chris, but after Christopher was born, it was like meeting him all over again."
