Chris was one of life’s true good souls. He loved his wife, his children, and his grandchildren deeply, and that love shone in everything he did.
He had a warmth about him that drew people in—kind, generous, and full of quiet strength. To so many of us, he felt like a real‑life Santa Claus, always ready with a smile, a helping hand, or a moment of joy.
Even as he faced mesothelioma with courage and grace, his goodness never wavered. Chris will be deeply missed, but always remembered with love and gratitude for the light he brought into our lives.
Rest in peace, dear Chris, love Jayne and family xx
