It is with shattered hearts that we share the devastating loss of Chris Ashbaugh, who tragically lost his life in a senseless shooting while doing what he loved most, working as a tow truck driver for Oaks Auto Truck Service.

Chris took tremendous pride in his work and the people he helped every single day. He was the kind of man who never hesitated to show up when someone needed help, no matter the hour, weather, or situation. His work was more than just a job to him, it was part of who he was. Tragically, while simply doing the work he cared so deeply about, his life was taken far too soon.

In an instant, a wife lost her husband, children lost their father, grandchildren lost their grandfather, and an entire community lost a truly good man. The pain his family is experiencing is impossible to put into words. He was their protector, their support system, their comfort, and the person they could always count on. His grandchildren adored him, and his family meant absolutely everything to him.

This unimaginable tragedy has left the family not only grieving a heartbreaking loss, but also facing the sudden financial burden that comes with it. We are asking for support to help cover funeral expenses, household bills, and to help give the family the time and stability they need to begin navigating life without him.

No amount of money could ever replace Chris or heal the heartbreak his loved ones are carrying, but any donation, prayer, or share can help lighten the weight they are facing during this incredibly painful time.

Please keep his family, friends, and coworkers at Oaks Auto Truck Service in your thoughts and prayers as they try to process the loss of a man who was deeply loved and taken far too soon.
