In 1954, Chris’s family moved to Mobile, AL. At the time of death, Chris was a resident of Loxley, AL. At a very early age Christian developed a true love of horses and grew up a true American Cowboy. Over the years, our cowboy instilled the same passion in so many of our youth and adults as well.

He began his military career in 1967 in the Army and was honorably discharged in October of 1973. Over the years, Chris led a successful career in the sales industry travelling from state to state.
