Chris enjoyed spending his free time building guns, following the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the football field, and taking his wife, Kristie, on trips to various historic sites across the United States. His loved ones and acquaintances remembered him as an enthusiastic student of history who also had a sweet spot in his heart for the company of cats. Chris is the kind of person that would assist anyone at any time, no matter the circumstance. He had an undying love for his wife, his children, and every one of his other friends and acquaintances. Our affection for him will last till the end of time, and we will take a piece of his spirit with us everywhere we go.
