Chris was the most selfless, caring, goofy and kind man anyone could be lucky enough to encounter. He would do anything he could to help others out. He could make everyone in the room laugh, and he always did. Holidays and family gatherings will never be the same without you. You are my favorite uncle and that will never change. I hope you know what an impact you had on people and how loved you are. I’ll root for the chiefs now, just for you. I’ll never forget calling you and you were crying when they won that superbowl in 2020 😂 Thank you for the memories. I love you and will always miss you. This is a hard loss for so many people.
Love you forever,
Shannah
