He was an active member of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church where he was an acolyte for over 25 years. Chris was a kind person who knew never knew a stranger. He was respected by his co-workers at Wendy’s and loved greeting the customers. He was well known around Circleville often seen walking on errands downtown. He was a fan of the rock band, KISS, and attended many rock concerts with his friends and family. He was a member of the Hawks Special Olympics championship basketball team in 1988 and loved to watch Ohio State football with his dad.
