My heart goes out to you and your family. You will be in my prayers at this sad time.
My prayers are for you all. I met Chris at QT. He was a good friend of my husbands, and he would always stop in to talk to Chris after he got off work. I started working down the street from Quik Trip & my husband Robbie introduced me to Chris. I went in everyday to feed my Diet Dr Pepper addiction and became friends with him also. In the year 2000, I was working at a Magnet School sign up event & saw him and his family walking towards me. I was totally shocked when I saw them! His wife Ellen & I have been friends since we were little. I had talked to her about her husband over the years, but had never met him in person, and had no idea that I already knew him. After that, we all started going out for dinner and became very good friends as couples. It really is such a small world. We are going to miss Chris dearly and will always be there for Ellen when she needs us. Rosie & Robbie Britton
Elizabeth and Family, My condolences to you, I can’t imagine loosing a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Hugs Elizabeth
My condolences to the family, it was my pleasure to have known such a wonderful man.
I met Chris when I was on the midnight shift of the Wichita Police Department and he was working midnights at Quick Trip. Chris was always a cheerful, outgoing, kind person who made every day better. With his magic act name of Chris Starr, he earned the name “Starman” as dubbed by my wife. Ad Astra, Starrman Darrell Haynes
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
