Being a light, showing love, and compassion to all mankind is the core of who Christopher is. The trials and tribulations of life have molded him into the gentle serving man that he is today. Being a proud resident of Mansfield, TX, and an alumnus of Mansfield High School class of 93, has given Chris a strong love and appreciation for our local area. Chris is the father of three amazing children, which he affectionately refers to as “The Blessed Trinity”. Being a strong man of faith his motivation every day is to show Love to every person he encounters. Chris started his journey in the death care industry at the age of 14, working for the late Great Rev. Dr. Gregory W. Spencer. Having been mentored by such an amazing mortician and his staff of great morticians instilled in Chris the integrity and excellence in funeral service he has today. After high school, he joined the United States Navy where he served aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN72), until the end of his enlistment where he was Honorably discharged. Realizing something was missing in his life, Chris decided to go back to his first love of serving people during the most difficult time in their life.
