personally and a loss to our entire community. Chris was a special person—a wise and thoughtful man who generously shared his time with the people and the causes he believed in.
reality as a successful homebuilder. The safety, shelter, and financial security that comes from owning your home—Chris helped make that possible for so many. He was also a driving force in shaping Tucson's hospitality industry as a partner in the company that constructed one of the signature resorts that our desert community is famous for—Loews Ventana Canyon Resort.
Homebuilders Association, and the Tucson International Airport Authority was a true expression of just how intentionally he cared about the Tucson community, which he called home for the past 50 years.
improving our community for those who live there today and for the next generation. He was a man of integrity, a man true to his word, a man you wanted close to you.
Chris and Jacque's love for the Lord was truly evident. They both always took time to greet each one of my kids and make them feel special. They brought joy into every room they entered, and together they led a life marked by service and passion.
as we all grieve this heartbreaking loss. We are grateful for all he gave to our community. He will be deeply missed and his legacy will live on in the lives he touched.
May my dear friend Chris, and his wife Jacque, rest in peace.
