\nChris loved going to any sporting event and really found peace at Lavalette Beach.<\/p>\n
\nBeyond his professional life, Chris was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Courtney Robinson Colombo. Together, they shared dreams and built a life filled with love and laughter through many of life\u2019s challenges. Chris was a remarkable role model to his step children Brody and Kieran Gallagher.<\/p>\n
