Christopher was a kind, gentle and loving husband, father, brother, uncle, son, friend, and Code Sensei who told everyone he met how much he loved his wife. His was a genuine soul that will be greatly missed. He was an active member of the community as a business owner and never missed an opportunity to make those around him smile. He was a talented maker who was in his element creating all kinds of things. The last year of his life, Christopher was a Code Sensei where he taught ‘his kids’ how to code. He was a member of the Front Royal Moose Lodge #829 and the 829 Moose Riders. Above all, Christopher knew his own truth and made sure he told us all regularly.

His time with us may have been short, but his impact could not possibly be overstated. Hail and farewell.
In the relatively short time I knew you, you quickly became one of my favorite people. Always happy, always looking out for everyone you knew and lending a hand if they needed it without complaining or thinking twice about it. You never allowed negativity to impact you or bring you down. You would tell anyone who would listen how much you loved your wife, how much this family meant to you and how grateful you were that you had all of this in your life after so much turmoil and heartbreak in your past. Instead of being bitter, you became better, and we should all take a piece of that light and carry it with us.
I will forever remember your twisted sense of humor, and the good times we shared at camp & family gatherings. It won’t be the same without you. Love you brother, rest in paradise <3
My dear friend. Its been awhile since I talked to you. And I hate to see this of your passing. You were always such a good friend to me! I thank you for that! Rest easy my dear friend.

My dear man. I will never forget the beautiful love and soul you brought to Kimmie and everyone you met. The kindness you showed so many and to me even caring about MY migraines when a gift given to you would fit perfectly in my life for relief. I captured great times and memories through my lens with you and I am happy to be able to have frozen those beautiful and fun times forever. Watch over Kimmie as I know you will. You will be deeply remembered and missed. ♡
Christopher met you and Kimmie thru Dana and Bryan Henry and we became friends very quickly. You helped me do work over my house and could not have thanked you enough. I looked forward to hanging out with you both at the Moose and around Front Royal always a lot of fun and genuinely a great person. I like everyone was shocked to hear you were not only in the hospital but of your passing my heart broke knowing when I came home would not see you again. I was blessed to call you my friend. Prayers go out to Kimmie and the entire family. May you rest in peace and we have gained another angel. You will live on in all our 💕 hearts forever!!
Truly will be missed by me wish i would have got to see you one last time but our meeting always ended in a hug and i love you brother and i always will love you brother a true happy soul
