Christopher Gene Schuessler, 35

June 14, 1981 - Nov. 27, 2016

Christopher was born in Spokane, Wash., on June 14, 1981. He was an amazing father figure, son, brother, friend and colleague who was taken from us unexpectedly and far too soon.

Chris was a consummate professional who spent his career in the financial service industry closing deals and making many friends along the way. He was an avid San Francisco 49ers, Giants and Warriors fan, sticking with them through good and bad. He was extremely active volunteering in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene communities, as well as supporting Eastern Washington University among various other organizations.

He was the definition of “Genuine Soul” always putting family first in his pursuits.

Welcome to “Paradise City” my love. You’ll forever be in our hearts.

Chris is preceded in death by his grandparents, Herman Schuessler and Julita Kramer; and survived by an enormous world full of Moms, Dads, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Bride to be, Children… with or without fur, Cousins, Friends, Colleagues and Customers, all of whom Chris loved like family.

A celebration of life will be held Jan. 14, 2016. Time and place to be determined.

Please make any memorial contributions in Christopher’s name to the Chase Youth Foundation or Eastern Washington University Alumni.

Please visit Chris’ memorial and sign his online guest book at www.cdapress.com/obituaries.

“I call you by name and you are mine. From all eternity I have loved you and to eternity I shall love you. Your mind cannot comprehend this but your heart can respond to it.” — Hal M. Helms
