Chris was an accomplished carpenter. He loved his dogs, Bay & Cocoa, who accompanied him on many camping trips with friends to the West Virginia Mountains, where he was in his element and one with nature. He took care of a plethora of plants, acquired unique and unusual artwork and was happiest when purchasing and giving gifts to loved ones, family and friends. Towards the end of his life, he wrote daily in a journal, listened to podcasts, researched many topics and spent one on one time with family and dear friends.

Chris and family are very grateful to his Oncologist, Dr. George J. Kannarkat, MD, and his compassionate and caring staff.
