Christopher Noel Rios

Chris brought joy into our lives. He taught us the meaning of patience, how to deeply love, to not take life for granted, to cherish every moment, and to never give up no matter how hard the struggles were.

He enjoyed the outdoors and music. He enjoyed spending time at the beach or near any body of water. Listening to the sound of waves and birds chirping. Chris loved listening to Instrumental classic music from an early age. Enjoyed hearing the voices of Children, it would bring a smile to his face. Chris attended school for a short period of his life but then was exempt from education due to reoccurring illness.

Chris's life journey was not an easy one. He beat the odds over and over with his family at his side. His expectancy was one year but blessed with eighteen and a half years. He is very loved by his entire family and huge extended family. Chris will greatly be missed and is loved dearly.

Chris is survived by his parents Rene and Yolanda Rios; his loving sisters Cassandra Rios, Priscilla Hernandez-Gomez, Adriana Rios, Stephanie Rios, and Ailea Rios; Loving nieces Jayla Gallo, Serina Vasquez, Selena Gallo, and Avaia Figueroa; loving nephews Jaydon Gallo, Marco Gallo, Pedro Gallo III and Romeo Sixtos; loving grandparents Antonio and Lupe Ochoa, Alfredo and the late Esperanza Rios; loving aunt Alicia Ordonez and Evangelina Rios Toledano; loving uncles Jose Ordonez, Carlos Toledano, Oscar Rios, Ullises Rios, Rogelio Rios and Fred Rios; loving brother in laws Pedro Gallo Jr., Jesus Hernandez-Gomez, Alberto Sixtos and Joseph Figueroa; beloved uncles Noel Ochoa, Antonio Ochoa Jr. (Tony) and Ernesto Rios; beloved aunt Maria Rios, and many loving extended family.
