Chris was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and lifelong friend to many. His passion was taking care of his family which included 2 daughters; Bailey Nicole Herrera, Ellieanna Kaciena Herrera and granddaughter; Sophia Rose Rosales.

This included attending every game or tournament and devoting his spare time to the athletic booster club. His talents and vast knowledge seemed endless to all that knew him, which gave him the ability to always lend a helping hand whenever asked or needed by anyone. This also helped him to recently achieve his goal of starting his own blade sharpening business, known as Preferred Edge. He is preceded in death by his father-in-law; James Harry Leamon.
