He was a member of the Operating Engineers Local 428 and operated heavy equipment in the state of Arizona and the last 10 years in the tri-city area. He also transported and drove trucks. You always knew it was Chris driving up on your job, because his best friend, Molly, his red Queensland Heeler, was riding shotgun. Chris loved the outdoors, camping and hunting. He shared many memories of his hunts with his brother in Unit 6A. He also enjoyed bowling and golf, but guns and target shooting were the ultimate. He was a member of the NRA and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Chris, thanks for being a part of our lives. Your time spent here on Earth was way too short, but your lessons were learned. The depth of your soul, the love and laughter you brought to us, will be remembered in every sunrise and sunset until we meet again.
