He always loved having big meals during the holidays, especially, when he was the primary Chef. Chris loved watching movies, old television shows like the Golden Girls and listening to music. Chris was a huge Diana “The Boss” Ross fan. Chris would come to her defense in any situation, whether she was right or wrong. In his down time, he often read tabloids like the National Enquirer. Chris maintained long-term relationships with childhood friends from high school and Wiggins Village Housing Complex.
Chris left a lifelong and positive impact on many and he will be missed by all who knew him.
