On May 8, 2026, our family suffered an unimaginable loss. My son’s father, Christopher Banks, a 39-year-old son, father, brother, and uncle, was taken from us far too soon. He was looking forward to going with his daughter to view colleges, but unfortunately, due to health issues and his unexpected passing, that didn’t happen. There was nothing anyone could do to save him, and now our family is facing the most difficult days of our lives. His children and siblings should never have to bury their father or brother, and the pain is made even harder by the financial burdens that come with such a tragedy.

Christopher was known to many as "Big Chris"—he lit up every room he entered and loved to joke around. He leaves behind children, family, and friends who loved him dearly. We are now faced with the overwhelming costs of funeral arrangements. We are reaching out to anyone who can find it in their heart to help. Your donation, no matter the size, will help us lay Christopher "Big Chris" to rest. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser or offering a prayer for our family.

No words can heal our pain, but your kindness and support mean the world to us. Thank you to everyone who shares, prays, and donates.
