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. Christopher is also a proud alumnus of the distinguished Dallas Institute of Funeral Service spring class of 2005. Where he served as class Chaplain and was a Co-recipient of the distinguished Bill Pierce Award. He is a Member of the National Funeral Directors Association, National Funeral Directors and Morticians Association, Texas Funeral Directors Association, and Independent Funeral Directors Association. Chris has an enduring love for creation and enjoys traveling and experiencing nature in his spare time. The motto that he lives by and will follow him for the rest of his life is “May the works I’ve done speak for me” … 

I was 3 years old when first experiencing the death and funeral of my Grandad - William Claude Stout, and only 8 years old when my father was killed - US-Army Sgt. Harold Ray Stout. (I still recall every detail, as if it were yesterday.)

I've been personally engaged with the funerals of 29 loved ones, to some degree, and experienced the loss of many friends throughout the years. 

All my life I've felt a calling towards the deathcare industry. And I petition your prayers and blessings as I enter this chapter of service to our neighbors, friends, and loved ones.
