Chris was loved by all who knew him. He loved kids and working with kids. He was an accomplished chef the duration of his working career. He worked for Duck City Bistro, Abbey Hotel, and Arrowhead Ranch to name a few. He loved the outdoors to include camping, fishing, hunting, nurturing his garden and running his beloved dog, Liberty. Chris’ life and career was afflicted by the onset of multiple sclerosis for the last decade of his life. He was never a complainer and asked for nothing; very gracious and humble. He was in the care of his mother, Marie, brother and sister-in-law, Ron & Virginia and Nicholas Bundy until the end.

He leaves behind his brother, Ron and sister-in-law, Virginia, nephew, Jessie (Stacy), nieces, Johanna Williams and Gretchen Calloway. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Marie, brother, Douglas Brobston, grandparents, Herman and Margaret Tank, and Richard and Evelyn Brobston.
