He served in the Marine Corps from 1999-2003 (2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine, 2nd Marine Division), was stationed at Camp Lejeune and deployed to Afghanistan. Following his active duty service (Lance Corporal), Chris worked for Blackwater Security under contract by the Department of Defense and returned to Afghanistan until an injury brought him home in 2007. Recently he had returned to school and was working on completing his degree. Chris was a loving son and devoted father. He was always quick to help when someone needed assistance and above all else, loved being with his son, his family and his friends. He enjoyed the excitement of riding his motorcycle, seemingly fearless in his zeal for the sport of it. His quick smile and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
