Christopher Ryan Bedwell

Christopher never met a stranger and was always the life of any gathering. His laughter and his sense of humor were some of his best qualities. He had a passion for life and always lived it to the fullest. In his younger years he served on the Chandler Volunteer Fire Department, and then Ohio Township Fire Department. For ten years he served the communities he lived in until his first child was born. Christopher’s greatest love of all was for his four children, Olivia, Lincoln, Waylon, and Sloane. They were truly his pride and joy. He spent hours at ballparks or basketball courts with them. He cherished every moment they were together. Christopher also loved to fish and spend time outdoors or hanging out with family and friends. His latest passion was riding his motorcycle. He enjoyed the freedom of riding the backroads and meeting a new group of friends that shared his passion. If you were lucky enough to be at a gathering with Christopher, you know he loved to cook! He was always looking for new recipes and always enjoyed trying new foods. He was best known for his smoked meat or his infamous smoked mac and cheese. Christopher was a loving son to his parents, Tracy and Wendell and a caring and thoughtful brother to Adam. It didn’t matter what the project was, Christopher was there and always provided the comedic relief. He also enjoyed coming up with all the project ideas that might not have been needed but were always timed perfectly.

Christopher had many jobs over the years, starting out at Toyota. The past two years he spent as a melting operator at Kaiser Aluminum. It didn’t matter where he worked, he made lifelong friends.

Survivors include his children, Olivia, Lincoln, Waylon, and Sloane along with their mother, Tiffany. He is also survived by his parents, Tracy and Wendell Cron, his brother, Adam Cron (Kyla); grandmother, Judith Bateman Whiting; grandparents, Linda and Rollin Bedwell; uncle, Rick Bedwell and his daughter, Taylor Bedwell.

A celebration of life will be held at 5:00 on Sunday, September 13, 2026 at Alexander Funeral Home in Newburgh, IN. Visitation will be held at 1:00 until the celebration of Christopher’s life at 5:00.
