I'm a resident of Maple Grove Villas and would visit with Chris from time to time when he would answer a call for maintenance at my apartment. Chris once told me about the great time he and Aarin had at the motorcycle rally in Sturgis last year. I asked him if he would bring his Harley to my apartment so I could see it and hear it run. So that's what he did. Chris obviously, and rightly so, took a lot of pride in his iron horse. Chris was a good guy and will be sorely missed by me and all of us residents at Maple Grove who got to know him a little. RIP brother.

My sincere condolences to Chris wife and family. I went to Grandview high school with Chris and he was such a great friend. I got the honor to hear him sing later in life and wow! This earth is going to be a little void without him in it. Fly high Chris and will see you someday soon.
