Chris was a happy, loving child, spending his early years in Gretna and moving to St Tammany as a teenager. He first lived temporarily at a camp on the marsh, enjoying nature, boating, and fishing, before moving out to the countryside in Bush, where he attended Covington High School. Chris grew up enjoying all things mechanical, and acquired the ability to take anything apart and put it back together at an early age. Known affectionately as the MacGyver of the family, he was the first to be called when something wasn't working and always came running to assist. His generosity and good nature was evidenced by the kindness and love he showed for the children he helped raise over the past few years. Chris never hesitated to help anyone that needed a hand. He truly enjoyed having lengthy discussions on all sorts of topics with his father, brother and uncles. He loved cars, boats, computers, camping, traveling, and being with his family. He affectionately loved his three Dachshunds, Nappy, Gracie, and Ruby.

Relatives and friends of the family and his coworkers and friends at Cox Enterprise, where he worked as an automotive technician, are invited to attend the funeral services held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, LA on Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at 12:00 noon.
