Christopher Carl Andrus was born June 25, 1983, in Rock Island, the son of Robert E. and Pam (Romani) Andrus.

Chris was extremely proud of his boys, and loved watching them play baseball and basketball. His greatest passion was coaching the boys and the QC Legends family. Without question, family was the most important thing to Chris.

He is survived by the love of his life, Jen; his pride and joy, sons Landon and Rylan; his parents, Robert E. and Pam Andrus of Moline; his brother/best friend and sister-in-law, Eric and Sarah Andrus of East Moline; nephews and a niece, Ethan, Evan, and Emma Andrus; his grandmother, Audrey Andrus; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by grandparents, Carl and Anna Mae Romani, and Robert D. Andrus.
