Of all the experiences of life, Chris loved his family the most. He was the secret keeper, the nickname giver, the story library. He documented his love with pictures, and with his presence. Chris showed up, every time. From the oldest to the youngest, he made each person feel special. He shared his love generously. He lived his life walking in Faith, supporting with Honor, and Loving with his whole heart. With his unique combination of characteristics, he could not fail.
