Christopher "Chris" Steven Jaggers

Christopher "Chris" Jaggers, 38, of Louisville, Kentucky, departed this life on Saturday November 2, 2024. His journey on Earth touched many, and he will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege to know him.

Born on September 17, 1986, in Louisville, Kentucky, Chris was welcomed into the world by his loving parents, Steve and Sherry (Helson) Jaggers. He is preceded in death by his brother, Shawn Jaggers, as well as his grandfathers, Michael Helson, Oval Dotson, and Larry Mabe, his uncles, Paul Jaggers and Robert "Billy" Jones, and the mother of his beloved sons, Amber Smith.

Chris is survived by a devoted family who will forever hold him in their hearts. He leaves behind his parents, Steve and Sherry; his three wonderful sons, Chris Jr., Chase, and Colton; his brothers, Joseph Jaggers and Lawrence Johnson; and his treasured nephews, Adam and Anthony Jaggers. His grandmothers, Pamela "Granny Moose" Mabe and Glenda Dotson, along with countless extended family members and friends, will miss his remarkable spirit dearly.

An extraordinary father, Chris dedicated his life to his sons, beautifully embodying the role of an involved dad and beloved uncle. He cherished every moment spent with family, whether sharing laughter with his parents and brothers or teaching his sons and nephews the intricate art of working on cars. As an accomplished auto mechanic, Chris had a passion for restoring vehicles and had an innate ability to tackle any automotive challenge.

Chris's warmth and compassion were felt by all. He was a gentle soul with a heart of gold, always eager to lend a helping hand and provide support to others in need. His friends knew they could rely on him, and he found purpose in being there for them.
