Honoring Chris Redman: Funeral and Memorial Support

Chris Redman unexpectedly passed away on July 6, 2024, from coronary atherosclerosis (plaque in the arteries). It can lead to sudden and unexpected death. Plaque ruptures are the most common cause of death in young men under 50 who die suddenly. Chris was almost 43 years old.

Because his passing was tragic and without warning, his family is grieving while faced with large funeral expense costs as Chris did not have life insurance.
