Chris grew up in Summerville, Georgia surrounded by extensive family, friends, and a gaggle of cousins. He was a standout football player at Chattooga High School. Chris loved life and was loved by all. He never met a stranger and stopped to help anyone in need. He loved family, friends, camping, cruises, fishing, the Georgia Bulldogs and making the best damn asphalt in America. Chris held a BS in Asphaltology and dabbled in stocks.

A visitation will be at 3:00 p.m., followed by a brief service at 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Chris’s memory to Satsuma Baptist Church would be appreciated.
