Chris was an amazingly loving father and his children were his life. He was a devoted friend and would do anything for his friends and family. Chris enjoyed mountain biking, camping, ski biking, fishing and anything that involved being outdoors. He was an extraordinary individual who could build anything, whether that be rocket cars, a trike for his son, rebuilding anything with a motor and he took extreme pride in building custom car stereos and equipment.
