Life story

"Chris was the youngest of ten children. He was raised on a farm in Guilford, Indiana; which he loved. His sister Abby remembers him little, playing under the dining room table with his nephew, they played with toy tractors, combines, and wagons. Chris enjoyed football, and he did get to play for awhile, but had to stop due to a loss of his eye in an accident. He went to East Central High School where he wrestled, and he was pretty good! He also enjoyed being a part of 4-H. Chris loved music, dirt biking, off roading, helping on the farm, fishing, hunting, and traveling, and making people laugh!
Chris was a member of Local 392 Pipefitters Union, and later moved on to be an Iron Worker in Local Union 44. He was a great welder.
Chris was baptized with his daughter on June 25, 1995 at the St. John Church in Sunman, IN. That was a great joy for him. Chris loved his children, and his family very much. "
