Way too many awesome memories to post about Chris....he was always fun to be around. I will miss his craziness, upbeat personality and his incessant need to watch out for and take care of all of the girls in the family. He was always there for anyone at anytime needed. He was the epitomy of an incredible, loyal husband and father, family member and friend. What an incredible role model. Continued prayers for my sweet Angie, my Ashy Poo, my strong Lolo and all of the family. Not always together, but never apart. All of my Love :heart:

I believe I met him once at Six Mile, Toledo Bend. Very nice young man. He shared the story of his cancer and that he was getting some fishing done before he left. Now he is fishing with Jesus! Chris Kolb

I am saddened by the passing of Chris. I never had the opportunity to enjoy the company of my son-in-law. Although, I've followed the stories of his life as my daughter, Angie's husband. I remain very proud that he was an amazing part of her life and exemplary father to my beautiful grandchildren. I am confident that Chris has been joyfully delivered into the loving arms of Our Lord and that he is safe & without pain in the presence of God. May God Bless all of his family and all who came to know and love him. Dennis F. Sorensen Sr.
