Chris' life revolved around many things he loved. He was an avid U of L basketball and football fan, as well as the New England Patriots, enjoyed working out at LAC and dreamed of running in the Disney Marathon. Music was also a big part of Chris' life, having played saxophone throughout his school years, participated in Kentucky Baptist Youth Choir, and sang at many events throughout high school and college, and also played guitar in his younger years, recently renewing his interest. Chris enjoyed his family vacations to Disney starting at a young age, and continued to November of this year when he introduced his baby son, Tyler, to Mickey Mouse. Chris was looking forward to the years ahead sharing the magic of Disney with him as well as putting his son on Santa's lap for his first Christmas. Those who knew him will remember his great sense of humor and his infectious smile which would light up any room. He smiled biggest talking about his baby boy "Taco".
