Chris lived and survived a tough life that consisted of many losses, hardships, struggles, and a lifetime of illnesses. Throughout all the hardships, Chris always had the innate ability to make everyone around him feel loved and bring a smile to everyone’s face despite the situation. Chris’s one of a kind soul will never be replicated and will always be missed.
Chris was a loving father, husband, and grandpa. He met the love of his life, Stephanie Beck, while attending Calhoun County High School, and shortly after, they had their only son, Derek.
Chris was a “jack of all trades.” There was nothing he could not do with a hammer and nails. Chris helped build beautiful homes, created breathtaking gardens, and could even re-build cars. Chris enjoyed traveling with his wife, hanging out with his son, spending time with his nieces and nephews, watching the Astros, and more recently spoiling his beautiful grandchildren.
Chris is preceded in death by his mother, Judy; father, Patrick; all grandparents, and several other precious family members. His memory will live on through his wife, Stephanie; son, Derek (wife Tara); Brothers, Patrick Jr. “Bubba” (wife Wendy) and Jesse (wife Amanda). His nieces: Kayla and EmmaLeigh, Nephews: Brenden, Sean, and Nate, and his grandchildren: Kaia and Kole Beck.
