Chris was well known and very active in the Welborn Community. He owned and operated Elite Creative Construction, LLC Custom Home Builder and was a great contractor. He enjoyed being outdoors doing things like hunting, fishing, and camping. Chris loved traveling and being adventurous. He liked riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, Metallica, and Alabama football, but more than anything, he loved being with his family. Chris put his family above all else and made them his everything. Chris had a smile that could light up a room and you could see his smile in his blue eyes before you saw it on his face. He never met a stranger and saw the absolute best in everyone. He was always willing to help and give those a second chance that needed it. Chris was a jokester and a prankster and could keep those around him laughing. Chris was a loving and caring husband, father, son, brother, and friend, and will be deeply missed that all those that loved him. The family would like to extend a special thank you to all of the family and friends for all of the love and prayers sent to the family.
