With profound sadness we announce that Chris passed away at Grand River Hospital on Monday October 21, 2019 after a courageous cancer battle at the age of 54 years.
Beloved husband and soulmate to Connie (nee Schroeder) for 32 years. Proud father of Brett (Nicole), Nathan (Jocelyn) and Eric (Kaitlyn). Dear brother of John (Tracy), Paul (Brenda) and Jerry (Leslie); son-in-law of Jean Schroeder; brother-in-law of Cathy Mathers and Steve Schroeder (Brenda). Predeceased by his parents Harry and Anne (nee Vernooy), father-in-law Harold Schroeder and brother -in-law Jerry Mathers. He will be fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, friends and colleagues.
Chris graduated from University of Waterloo in 1989 and had a career as a Professional Engineer, working the past 17 years at Andronowski & Associates. Chris’s passions were anything outdoors; fishing, biking, snowmobiling and was often seen puttering outside at his home in Conestogo with his faithful dog Zoey nearby. Chris will be remembered for his energy, thoughtfulness and devotion to his family.
Cremation has taken place. A private family interment will take place in Exeter Public Cemetery, Exeter Ontario. A Celebration of Life to be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Mark Preece Family House (Hamilton) or Grand River Regional Cancer Centre as expressions of sympathy would be appreciated. Messages and condolences may be left for the family at www.tricitycremations.com or 519.772.1237.
