Chris was a loving, caring and kind person. He cared deeply for his family, he was a loving son, brother, grandson, uncle, husband, dad and grandpa, He was looking forward to all things he would be able to do with his grandson. He would do anything to make the girls, and I laugh, wearing a princess headband to M&Ms or stuffing melons in his shirt and walk through the living room. He loved his daughters unconditionally. He was a great dad. Chris had an infectious laugh. He liked riding his Harley, playing on his computer, watching NASCAR and going to Eldora, Chris was also a hardworking guy, he loved working at Crown and the people he worked “Mister F03” is what he would refer to himself as. He will be missed by many.
