Christopher Kevin Waffle was born August 5, 1964, in Moline, the son of Bruce and Cecelia (Bargas) Waffle. He married the love of his life, Helen Barnett, on November 4, 1990. Together the couple shared over 35 years of happiness. He worked as a foreman for White Roofing.

Chris loved music and going to concerts, traveling (especially Colorado), and was an avid Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs fan. Above all else, nothing brought Chris more joy than times spent with his wife, daughters, and his pride and joy, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
