On Tuesday, September 9th, our family suffered an unimaginable loss. Our dad, Chris Dries, passed away suddenly on his way home from work.

Chris was a loving husband, father, and friend whose warm heart and laughter enlightened everyones life who was lucky enough to meet him. His passing has left a deep void in our hearts, and we are now faced with the difficult task of arranging his funeral and saying our goodbyes.

I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of our mom, Jen Hobby-Dries, to help cover funeral expenses and ease some of the financial burden during this painful time.

Any support you can give—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—means the world to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers as we honor Chris’s memory.
