Chris was born in Whitewood, SK to Marilyn and Bill Maki.  He grew up on a farm located above the beautiful  Qu’Appelle Valley, near Tantallon.

He attended elementary school in Tantallon and completed high school in Esterhazy.  After graduating he became a snowboard instructor at Asessippi Ski  Resort in Manitoba. Later he attended a Travel and Tourism program in Medicine Hat, AB.  Upon returning to Tantallon, he worked as a farmhand and then worked in Grand Cache, AB on  pipeline construction.

At the age of 22 he met Candice and married her in 2008 in the Dominican Republic. Having finished a welding program at N.A.I.T, the couple settled in Star City to be closer to family.

Chris was employed as journeyman welder for W.S.I. Construction.

Baby Phoenix came to them on  July 3, 2012. As Phoenix grew, Chris spent much time with his son  patiently sharing his knowledge of dirt bikes, snowmobiles, snowboarding, home improvement and organizational skills. He was very proud of his son’s talents and   abilities.

As a loyal husband and father, Chris was very attentive to his family’s needs, and they never doubted his endless love for them.

His memory will be forever cherished by: his wife Candice; son Phoenix; parents: Marilyn, Bill (Maurine); brothers: Blair (Tara), Jesse (Alissa) and sister  Shelby (Pratik).

He will be remembered by his large extended family as well as many friends who were touched by his life.

A service celebrating Christopher’s life was held from the Star City Elks Hall, Star City, SK on Saturday, March 12, 2022.  The interment will take place at a later date in Tantallon.

Friends so wishing may make memorial contributions to a trust fund for his son Phoenix.
