Chris was born in El Paso, Texas on December 21, 1942. He passed away peacefully at his home in Woden, TX, surrounded by his beloved family, on October 25, 2018. Chris is preceded in death by his parents, Noel and Gilda Breedlove, and brother Kenneth Ray. Chris is survived by is wife of 55 years, Martha Jane Breedlove, his daughters, Kelly Breedlove, Kimberly Breedlove, and Karen Breedlove, his grandchildren, Alexandra Day, Jessica Raines, and Jacob Raines, and great granddaughter, Lexy Jo Ramsey.
Chris was raised in Mt. Pleasant, TX, where he would meet his wife, Martha. They moved to Waco. Chris attended Baylor University and earned a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Chemistry. He also played football during his time at Baylor.
Chris worked in the welding supply industry for all of his life. He mostly worked in management until 1980s when he was able to buy his own business. He also spent time working on his farm. He always said “a ride on the John Deere was his golf game.” Monday through Saturday was full of hard work, but Sunday was reserved for his highest calling.
Chris loved The Lord. On Sunday, he could be found singing old hymnals in church. He believed in serving the Lord with everything he had, and wanted no credit for that in return. He was loved by his church and by those whose life he impacted.
After a lifetime of hard work, Chris retired. During this time, he and Martha enjoyed fishing on the Texas Coast and driving the jeeps in the mountains, in Colorado. He also liked to spend his mornings with his friends at the “coffee shop.”
Simply, Chris loved God, his ranch, and his family. He will be missed so deeply.
