My name is Jennifer. My husband and I are trying to raise funds to ease the financial stresses that have hit our dear friend's family upon his death.

After fighting Stage Four Cancer for six years, Chris can finally rest. He fought hard all those years to be there for his daughter, wife, and mother. He remained strong, steadfast, and focused on his family's well-being till the very end. Chris did everything to be here with his family, including surgeries, chemotherapies, immunotherapies, radiation, and so much more. His strength, determination, and good humor never faltered and were, and still are, an inspiration to his family.

Chris was just 54 years old and now his wife Ann Marie is left to raise their daughter Laurel on her own, navigating the emotional and financial aftermath of losing a beloved husband and father.

With Ann Marie working as a substitute teacher, the uncertain status of their ongoing insurance coverage, costs associated with Chris's illness and passing, and Ann Marie's determination to provide Laurel with a stable future - Chris' main concern was for the well-being of his family and getting them some assistance.

All of Chris' family and friends touched his life, and he treasured all of the conversations and memories.

Any help to make finances one less thing to stress about as they come to terms with his passing would mean so much. Your support will help ease these worries and show them they are not alone during this incredibly difficult time.

A Celebration of Life is being planned for this summer, more information to come.
