Chris Welter, who loved his wife Jaime and their son Oliver, a good guitar riff, fancy beer, a beautiful sunset and peak foliage was killed in a motor vehicle collision on August 20, 2021. Chris grew up on the Jersey Shore with his younger sister Katy, who he found annoyingly close in age as a child, but later cherished. He attended Northeastern University in Boston and earned a Bachelor's in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. He treasured his deep rooted friendships from college and became known to these wonderful friends as "Topher" who still call him that to this day. There was not a stranger in the world to Chris, as he could chat and connect with anyone, anywhere. He used his connection skills to create a successful sales and marketing career, helping startups such as Unreal Candy, Izze Soda, and Suja Juice become thriving businesses. Chris especially enjoyed his most recent job in sales at Suja and was proud of what he learned, the relationships he built, accomplishments, and this 5+ year tenure working with a phenomenal team. He loved the Boston area and made it his home, enjoying many close friendships, bowling leagues, and converting to a Red Sox fan after growing up as a Yankee fan. His soulmate Jaime Joy entered his life and they married several years later in 2016 on a gorgeous farm, followed shortly by their adoption of "Big Dog", '99 Gray Camry Hot Sauce Welter. Chris couldn't wait to be a father. Being at Jaime's side during pregnancy and the birth of their son was a beautiful sight, affectionately calling Jaime "Big Mama". Ollie loved watching him play the guitar, loved hiking on his back on trails near their house in southern Vermont, and playing with smart baby toys that may have entertained Chris more than Ollie. Chris used his brilliant mind teaching himself to play guitar and golf, managing numerous fantasy sports teams and leagues, and strategizing the best seats for the next baseball trip with his mom. Everyone who ever knew him is grieving his loss, including Jaime, Ollie, and Camry; his mother Anne and sister Katy; many aunts, uncles and cousins on the Welter and Hartman sides; a long list of Pierson sisters- and brothers in- law, nieces and nephews, mother- and father- in- law Linda and Fred; friends, coworkers, and neighbors.
