Christopher Michael Wells was a man of strength, warmth, and deep compassion. As a husband, he was a true partner—loving, thoughtful, and endlessly supportive. As a father, he beamed with pride at every milestone, always marveling at the intelligence, kindness, and love that radiated from his children. His family was the center of his world, and he never missed a chance to express his gratitude for them.
Chris had a passion for food and music. He and his family shared many adventures exploring new restaurants and rocking to their favorite concerts. These moments, simple yet profound, were filled with joy and laughter—the kind only he could bring to every room.
His laughter—unmistakable and contagious—could lift any spirit, even on the darkest days. Chris had a wicked sense of humor and a heart big enough to hold space for everyone. He never wanted others to worry about him and always wore a smile, offering peace and comfort even when he faced life’s hardest trials.
Chris was a dreamer and a doer. His ambition and drive built the life he was so proud of. He was a provider in every sense—working hard not just to give, but to inspire, to encourage, and to dream bigger. Everything he touched, he touched with love.
