He was a kindhearted man who would do just about anything he could for anyone he knew. Chris enjoyed watching horror movies and UFC as well listening to all types of music, especially Korn, and attending concerts all of which he enjoyed sharing either via FaceTime or in person with his sister Alisa. He was always dressed to the nines, and was easy to get along with. Chris loved his bulldog Rex and his dog pixie who will miss him dearly. He was very proud of his children, especially the fact that Christian was serving in the Air Force and that Miah was studying to be a nurse. In addition to his father, he has proceeded in death by his grandparents, Jennie and Vincent Castor and Jessie and Harry Rearick, Sr.
