It is with great sadness and disbelief that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of Chris Eckland, at the young age of 49.

Chris leaves behind his beautiful, loving wife April of 27 years and two amazing children, Kailey and Brandon. As you can imagine, this news has forever changed their lives.

Those that knew Chris, and there were many of you, knew he was the type of guy that would give the shirt off his back. He worked hard to provide for his family and truly loved them with his whole being.

With all of the emotional pain and stress that a death brings, it also brings financial burdens. It is in these times of loss and sadness when people come together to help one another make it through and to support the people we care for. Any support you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated so that April, Kailey, and Brandon can focus on one another as they learn to navigate through this unimaginable time.

If you live in Lake Havasu and have anything you would like to give to the family instead of giving through GoFundMe, you can reach out to me and I will come to you and get it to the family.

Please keep April, Kailey, and Brandon in your prayers, and we thank you for any help you may give. Even if you are not in a position to help out, please share this GoFundMe page with your friends and family.
