The Dredge family is facing an unimaginable loss after the sudden passing of Chris, a devoted husband, father, and friend. Chris was a free spirit, known for his laughter, joy, and passion for life. He was a die-hard Detroit Lions fan, but above all, he cherished his family. Recently, Chris had moved to Michigan for a job promotion, excited about the future and the opportunities it would bring for his loved ones. His enthusiasm for life was infectious, whether he was playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends, celebrating a touchdown, or working side by side on home projects. Chris was truly larger than life—a mentor and friend who left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Now, his family is left to navigate a difficult road ahead. Chris leaves behind his life partner and five precious children, Maddex, Addie, Tillie, Mila, and Violet, ranging in age from 16 years old to just 18 months. In the wake of this tragedy, the Dredge family must relocate back to Utah from Michigan to be closer to extended family and support. They are facing significant expenses, including the transportation of Chris back to Utah, funeral costs, living expenses, and child support during this painful time. The need is urgent, and every contribution will help ease the burden on this family as they work to rebuild and honor Chris’s legacy.

Chris always put others first, caring deeply about the well-being of those around him. By supporting the Dredge family, you are helping to commemorate and celebrate the remarkable man he was and the lasting impact he had on so many lives. Any and all support is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward helping his family through this challenging time. Thank you for showing your kindness and for helping to support Chris’s legacy. Please keep the Dredge family in your thoughts and prayers.
