Eventually, Christopher was presented with the opportunity to work for Stanly County EMS, an opportunity that meant a great deal to him, and he made lifelong friends along this journey. Christopher then joined the Davidson County EMS and advanced his career. While there, he also became a member of the New London Volunteer Fire Department. Eventually, he accepted a position at Providence Transport. Along his career path, Christopher was honored with the local Home Town Hero Award.

As much as Christopher loved being a son and brother, his main love and passion was his career as an EMT. This was a lifelong dream of his, and he fulfilled his dream and passion. He loved helping others.

Christopher was a family man. He loved spending time with his family at cookouts, as well as fishing and camping. Christopher had the biggest heart and loved helping his community and neighbors. Whether it was volunteering at the fire department BBQ fundraisers or stopping to help during an accident or responding to calls in the middle of the night, this was his passion and what he loved to do.

Christopher overcame many obstacles in life and felt very fortunate to be living his dream. He will be remembered for his loving and caring nature. The community describes him as a gentle giant known for big teddy bear hugs and his unwavering love and compassion for others. The lives he touched in his short life are amazing.
