In Memory of Chris: Support for Aspen and Family

Hello everyone. I’m sharing here today the life of a man gone far too soon. Chris Wimes, married to my sister-in-law, Aspen. He was recently in a car crash that took his life.

I only knew him for 4 short years, but in that time I got to know and love him like he was my own brother. I could go on and on about him, but I’ll keep it short and sweet; he was the guy you could rely on for anything and everything- whether it was to reach something on the top shelf (perks of being 6’5) or helping fix your car or work on your house, or just making you laugh when you were down. He was the guy for it all. He also loved to paint and always had an art project going on, and BOY was he talented.

In the 6 years that he had been with Aspen, they had created a beautiful family. 2 sweet children of their own, Caiden (4) and Charli (2). Prior to meeting Chris, Aspen had Asher (12). Chris met him when he was only 5, but loved that boy like his own from day one. Just ask anyone and they’ll tell you- Asher was his favorite guy on the planet. Not only was he a father and a husband, but he was a loving brother and a son who also lost a parent too soon. He had love that knew no bounds when it came to his family and his friends.

While our family tries to navigate this difficult time, we are asking for your support. The money we raise here will go to covering costs of the funeral, medical bills, as well as just everyday life things that Aspen and her babies will need. Any amount you donate will help to create some ease for Aspen, and her mom and babies, as they try and find their way through this.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. All the kindness in your hearts, your thought and prayers, and your digital hugs that you send from near and far- they all mean the world to us.
