Update from May 15, 2025

Today, as we hold Chris close in our hearts on his birthday, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the love and support you’ve shown us over these past six months. Whether you were there in person, have helped with tasks, donated to help offset costs, or sent kind words from afar, your presence has made a lasting difference on us.

We’re so grateful to have shared Chris’s celebration of life with those that could make it — a beautiful day filled with laughter, tears, and beautiful memories. As we remember him today, we wanted to share the photos from that day, along with the video tribute that was played during the celebration. Feel free to share with those that couldn’t make it as well! Apologize in the delay, been a crazy couple of months!

We know Chris is definitely having a blast today — probably with a Fireball shot in hand and dancing to some Bill Withers with his shirt off. When you think of him, we hope you remember the way he lived: with unconditional love for friends and family, quiet selflessness, a strong work ethic, perseverance, and, most of all, an unshakable ability to find joy and laughter even in life’s darkest moments.

Thank you again for walking alongside us through this difficult time, and for helping us honor the incredible person Chris was — and always will be — to all of us. We are so so grateful to be surrounded by the best people.

With love,
Margie, Gianna, and Niko
