He was a proud father, happy to share his birthday with his baby girl Chrissy and he was his son CJ’s biggest fan on the football field. Though he presented himself as a warrior to the world, he always saved his funny and caring true character for his family with his infamous smirk-like smile. Chris was known for flashy baseball caps and watches, enjoying a good cup of tea in the morning, and reaching out just to check in with a “you good” text.

He enjoyed sports and would occasionally participate in a pick-up game of basketball. He gave back to the community that raised him in his own way, by cheering on local youth at the community games or sharing a few dollars with some of the neighborhood children to get candy from the corner store. 

To have known Chris was to have known loyalty.
