Anyone that knew Chris knows that there wasn’t a more fun-loving, generous, kinder-hearted person on earth and that he lived life to the fullest.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Roland and Lucille Ayres and George W. and Alice Caudill. He is survived by his parents, Bruce and Janet; brother, Brian (Lisa); niece and nephews, Amanda, James and Matthew; dogs Max and Bosley; and a tremendous number of dear friends, especially those close to him from Chelsea’s.
