In Memory of Christopher Smith

In the early hours of December 31, 2020 Christopher Smith was robbed, shot, and killed in Spokane, WA. His family and friends don’t even know where to begin to grapple with this tragedy. Chris was a kind and loving person that wouldn’t hesitate to give someone the shirt off of his back. While we knew this about him, we have been shocked at the amount of stories we have been hearing about just how much he helped others and quite literally would give the clothes he was wearing.  He leaves behind his longtime love Andrea and their 10 year old daughter Ellanor as well as many family and friends. They had many plans for the future and had just purchased a home and Andrea discovered yesterday that he had purchased an engagement ring just days prior to his death and had plans to propose. Andrea is not the type to ask for help - she is always a selfless caretaker to others. She will need to adjust to a single income with many expenses such as funeral, transport of his remains from Spokane to tacoma, locksmith - both her house keys and car keys were with Chris and were taken, living expenses, grief counseling, etc. Please help us to support Andrea and Ellanor during this time as they start to navigate this tragedy. Gofundme does charge a lot of fees - if you would prefer to provide support in other ways Andrea does have Venmo, cashapp and Facebook pay. If you are not able to support financially please share this post.
