Chris grew up in Pickerington, Ohio and lived most of his adult life in Reynoldsburg. He loved all sports but golf found a special place in his heart! He was a regular at Blacklick Woods Golf Course, and could be found there many nights working on his game. As his kids grew older, they joined him and it became a great bonding place for him and his family. In January of 2016, Chris was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell sarcoma (kidney cancer). After a long 3-year battle, Chris lost his fight against the disease. While he is no longer with us here on earth, his spirit will always live on through the legacy that he left behind. All proceeds made through this foundation will go directly towards kidney cancer research at The James Cancer Hospital, in the hopes that one day no family will have to suffer from the devastating effects of this disease.
