Born in Hampton, VA, to Jack Hall and Susan Schrum, Chris graduated from Kecoughtan High School in 2004. Growing up on or close to the water, he developed a deep affinity for fishing, boating, and water sports. After graduation and into his adult life, he worked and found comfort in places where the ocean or other bodies of water were close. Be it in Nags Head or Charlotte, North Carolina, Chris was always close to the ocean or lakes. In Charlotte, he and his family were given the greatest gift - a son, a grandson, a great grandson, and a nephew, Coleman Hall. Later in life, he moved back home to Hampton where he worked for his father’s business, Jack’s Tile and Carpet. From childhood and until his passing, Chris always had a smile on his face and a laugh that lit up the room. He never met a stranger and was always eager to share his passion for fishing and anything on the water. In addition to fishing, boating, and other water sports, Chris loved playing soccer and golf. From the time Coleman was an infant, Chris enjoyed spending time with his now eight year old son teaching him how to fish, golf, or boogie board in Nags Head. No matter how young or how old, cherish every moment you have with your loved ones, don’t hold grudges, and live life with no regrets.
Chris is survived by his son, Coleman Jackson Hall; his mother, Susan Schrum (Michael); father, Jack S. Hall Jr.; his fiancée, Erin O'Neill; sisters, Catharine Hall and Casey Schrum Stewart (Scott); brothers, Robert Hall, Chris Schrum (Chelsie) and Carter Schrum; and his grandmothers, Shirley Barham and Jean White.
Chris will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.
