Christopher grew up hunting with his papa, Eddie, who adored him and taught him everything he knew about hunting. He also enjoyed fishing, hiking, and being with his two labs outside whenever possible. Christopher especially loved being around his friends and family. He was one of a kind with a big heart and a smile so beautiful, he lit up every room he entered.
