Why is it that those who give selfless love and smile so easily are taken from us? Topher was a kind of fierce friend, uncle, brother and son. Age 35. He had plans for a bright and happy future. Every phone call, he'd share his dreams of one day having a job and to live with his brothers, Derek and Joshua, who still serve on active duty in the US Armed Forces. And it was their dream too that he should live with them...we all just needed more time. He was as patriotic as they come and kept the brotherly Navy vs Air Force competition live and well. Topher loved God, America and country music. He took his beer cold and ribeye medium-rare, and he never said no to a good time with four-wheeler rides, game nights and fishing. In honor of Christopher, donations will go to starting the Dignity Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to provide what Topher represents and what he sought after: stability, dignity, and hope for all Americans in support of their daily well-being.
