Chris dedicated his life to commercial construction and home improvement, working in the industry until his retirement. To know Chris was to love him. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was known for his tall tales, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Chris treasured time with his family, especially his grandsons. He enjoyed teaching them everything from fishing and bowling, to working on cars and tackling projects. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and share what he knew. Chris also loved our pets as if they were his grandchildren. The memories and knowledge he shared with us will live on for years to come.

Chris enjoyed trips to the lake, sitting on the porch at his daughter’s house, cooking out, and celebrating holidays, especially Halloween. He loved having a good time, listening to music, sharing stories and laughter, and enjoying an ice-cold Natural Light. His generous spirit, willingness to help others, and unforgettable personality made him a special part of the lives of all who knew and loved him.

Funeral Services will be held Sunday, October 25, 2026, 4:00 pm at American Cremation & Funeral Service.
