Chris was born December 3, 1980, in Houston, TX, and resided in Austin for the last 15 years. He worked as a Master Elite Technician at Southwest Kia and was a car enthusiast and avid motorcyclist. A dedicated Cowboys fan, he never missed a game. He shared this love with his family, especially his mom. He was a bright soul that loved hard and lived fast, believing that life was too short not to enjoy every moment to the fullest. His smile could light up a room and inspired everyone around him.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Karen Forrest.
He is survived by his wife, Megan Forrest, of Austin; his sister, Amber Box, and husband, Benjamin, of Dallas; mother-in-law, Sara Julian, and husband, Gary, of Austin; father-in-law, Ed Moss, and wife, Chris, of Tempe, AZ; sister-in-law, Lindsey Hill, and husband, David, of Austin; four nephews, Lincoln and London Box and David Aaron and Levi Hill; one niece, Emerson Box; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was surrounded by so many that loved him, including his work family, his motorcycle brothers, and numerous friends who all considered him family.
His Celebration of Life will be held on July 29, 2019 at Cook-Walden Chapel of the Hills Funeral Home in Austin, TX from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
