Chris lived an amazing life. He was the youngest son of John and Wendy Ruppel and grew up in Sandy, Utah. He attended Murray High school and served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Japan, Tokyo south mission. Following his mission, he attended BYU-Idaho (formerly Rick’s College) and Westminster College. He married Christi Martin in the Bountiful Temple. They became the proud parents of Madison and Gillian, their two beautiful girls. Chris worked as a project management professional and enjoyed associating with the best and brightest colleagues and friends imaginable.
