Chris was a beautiful soul who impacted many of our lives in meaningful ways. He brought laughter, joy, and demonstrated his love for everyone. Music was more than just a passion for Chris, it was how many of us were brought together. If the music didn't pull you in, his words did. More often, those words came with a laugh (maybe a laugh at his own expense). Those closest to him know “Bad Luck Chris” all too well, and are probably smiling just reading that.

Since 2018, Chris overcame multiple brain surgeries that would help mitigate the growth of a tumor in the back of his head. His outlook never changed. Even through his own battles, Chris never let his light dim. He loved fiercely, lived fully, and gave generously. All while carrying more than most could bear. He showed up for everyone he cared about whether it be events, shows, or special milestone moments. That’s just who Chris was. The memories he left behind are not just moments in time, they are pieces of him that live in all of us. Let us honor that.

Chris loved his wife Jennifer. They shared over two decades of partnership, and celebrated more than a decade of marriage. A love that only grew stronger through everything life handed them. He never missed the chance to remind his beloved wife and partner in crime just how much she meant to him. For Chris, Jennifer is his angel, his rock, and everything that kept him together.

This GoFundMe is to help cover funeral and medical expenses, and to help alleviate the financial burden on Jennifer and his family during this unbearable time.

As Chris would say, “Til’ the wheels fall off!”.

Rest In Power, Chris.
