Shannon and Chris were partners in every sense of the word, building a life together filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Chris was not only Shannon’s husband, but also her best friend and biggest supporter. He encouraged her to pursue her passions, including her love of horses, and always stood by her side as she chased her dreams. Their bond was strong, and they looked forward to a future together with Chris’s children. He leaves behind two sons.
Chris and his brother Tyler shared a deep connection as brothers and friends. Chris was always looking out for Tyler, and was helping him relocate to be closer so their families could spend more time together. The two were inseparable, supporting each other through life’s ups and downs. Tyler also leaves behind a daughter who will miss him dearly.
Tragically, that future was taken from them when Chris and Tyler were killed in a sudden car accident. The loss has left Shannon a widow, Chris’s sons without a father, and Tyler’s daughter without their dad. Chris’s and Tyler’s absence is deeply felt by everyone who knew them, but especially by their families, who now face the overwhelming challenges of planning funerals, managing living expenses, and supporting their children through this heartbreaking time.
This fundraiser is to help Shannon cover funeral costs, living expenses, and provide some stability for her and Chris and Tyler’s children as they begin to rebuild their lives. It is also a way to honor the memory of both brothers and the love they had for their families. Please consider supporting these families in any way you can. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference and offer hope as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
