Chris Ostermueller (43), a loving father, brother, son, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend, was taken from us too soon on April 9, 2018.  For those who knew Chris, he is most remembered for his quick wit and sense of humor.

Sadly, Chris left behind his five year old son, Owen.  A smart little boy whose smile and energy lights up the room more then the lights in this picture (a fond memory at Storybook Land with Owen's cousins).

Amongst all the uncertainties and questions, the one absolute we hang on to is Chris' love  and unwavering desire for Owen to have the best life possible.  

This GoFundMe account is a direct effort to continue Chris' purpose and help Owen follow his dreams.  No gift is too big or too small.  All donations will be set aside for Owen's education as well as a park memorial as a reminder of their many adventurers together https://www.pittsburghparks.org/plant-a-tree. Any questions, can be sent to Chris' sister, Shana.

While we will miss Chris immensely, we look forward to seeing him shine through via Owen in the years to come.

We cannot express how grateful we are for the love and support.   Our hearts are forever changed.
