Christopher Gross, age 40, died early Saturday morning, the 27th of July, from a sudden heart attack. 

Chris was husband to Katie (née Kaiser) and father to Lucian, Edmund, Aurelia, Zoe, Genevieve, and Beatrice. Anyone who knew Chris remembers him as a hard worker and a brother to us all. He was a great friend, a devoted father, and a loving husband. This is truly a difficult time for the Gross family. Chris was a good provider and financially responsible. 

Many people have so kindly asked how they can help; here are a couple ways:

First and foremost ... prayers! We ask all of you to please remember Chris in your daily prayers along with the rest of the family. This would be the greatest consolation to us all.

Secondly, monetary donations would help pay for funeral expenses and a little extra to give Katie a buffer while the details of the estate are worked out. We do not want Katie to have to worry about rent, school tuition, food, and other monthly bills that will add any unnecessary stress during this time of grieving..

Thank you for the overwhelming support. A Mass will be said for anyone who contributes in anyway! God bless.
