I’ll always remember the way he looked at Renae on their wedding day, it was beautiful. I remember visiting them both in the hospital when Aleah was born, and then along came Savannah, and Emma! They are forever blessed to call him their father. His memory will stay alive forever through those beautiful girls! ❤️ We love you Renae, Aleah, Savannah, and Emma!

We are so sorry to hear of Chris’ passing. We fondly remember him growing up and spending time with Michael. We moved to Monona and Chris was surprised when Chris came to check our furnace. He enjoyed seeing him again and catching up with him. Our hearts are aching. Thinking of all of and hoping your memories of Chris provide peace at this time. Chris and Tammy Ellis

Chris serviced our furnace several times in the past years while employed by R and A. He was a professional worker and a pleasure to work with. He was a kind person who spoke about his family and his love of the outdoors. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris and his family and friends.
