He was a member of the Christ Community United Methodist Church. He was formerly a member of the Mercer Road Volunteer Fire Department Station 6 of Butler Township.
Chris enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, water skiing and snow skiing. Although Chris had many accomplishments, his great accomplishment in life was his two children, who were his entire world. He was the most proud, devoted, loving and caring father any child could ask for. Words cannot express the love they shared.
