Chris never met a stranger, accepted everyone, and had friends from all walks of life. He loved to laugh and drew people in with his charming personality and quick wit. He was a music fan with eclectic taste, enjoyed watching USC football, riding jet skis, fishing, eating anything hot, hanging out with his dog, Charlie, and working with his hands. He enjoyed making furniture from old sewing machines and mill spools. He was a most respectful and mannerly young man. Chris has left a void in our hearts that only he could fill.

Although not with us, Chris was an organ donor and has blessed other families with his gift of life.

The family will receive friends Friday, April 21^st, 2-3PM at Dunbar Funeral Home. Funeral services will follow in the Chapel at 3PM.
