He had a heart for helping others and gave to people in need. Chris was excited to remodel his home, he was a great cook and loved trying out new recipes. He loved his friends, his two dogs and even his cat. Most of all, Chris loved his “Little Jenny Slone”, his children, and fiercely loved his family. He will be dearly missed and forever loved.
