April 14, 2023 at 4:51 pmTo Chris’s family. May you find peace in knowing that Chris was a special Guy and no doubt is was because he came from such a loving family. He was part of a Chilis family where Chris was a standout for sure. His smile was contagious and through good time and not so good he had a positive attitude that could change your mood in an instant. I along with those who had the privilege of knowing and working with Chris are heartbroken and will cherish the memories we created together. You are in our thoughts and prayers may Chris rest easy now. 💙💔🌶
