Hello friends and family. We are extremely sad to share there has been a tragic boating accident that has taken our Chris, Lori, Zack and Nate from us. Katie and her friend were involved also and came away with minor injuries. Katie has requested that her and her family's privacy be respected at this very difficult time. Your well wishes and kind words are appreciated.

Many people have asked how they can help Katie through this difficult time. Katie is finishing her undergraduate degree and aspires to go onto to complete her masters. She will have expenses coming up.

Our family thanks you all for your love and support during this tragic time.
