During his early years, he welcomed 2 children into the world, Kristin Danielle and Lakin Christopher. He truly loved his children. Chris was a friend to many.

There truly was nothing he wouldn't do for someone in need. At the end of his life, he gave the wonderful gift of life as an organ donor. He was able to give someone another chance through his heart, kidney, liver, tissue, and eyes.

His pond out back at the family home will always be a reminder of him to his family, as he built that pond with love for his Mama and Daddy.
