I am so very sorry to hear of Kris passing away. He was such a bright light in this world. He had a way of making people laugh and a smile that was contagious. I’m grateful to have called him family. My hugs to all and deep condolences. He will not be forgotten. 

Kris and I connected when he joined Blue Mountain in 2021. We started at the same time so shared an office for a while during training and quickly became friends. I had a similar background as I also started in Association Management in Orange County, CA before moving to Oregon. He was a light - always encouraging and willing to share from his plethora of knowledge and experience. I will miss his late-night texts with photos of his kitties and his newest home decor additions. He recently told me he was thinking about writing children's books as it had been a lifelong dream of his, and I am heartbroken that we will never see that come to fruition but also so encouraged to know that he was feeling like himself again and wanting to pursue his dreams. He was so full of life and I know his hope and positivity has carried over to wherever his beautiful soul has moved on to. He will be so missed. Sending so much love to his family.

Kris was a great stepdad to me and my sister.
