Christopher James Elberth

Christopher was a loving soul who had a huge heart and the desire to help people. He was always there to try and make someone smile or laugh because it made him happy to do so.

But nothing made him happier than his little girl Claudia Marie. His love for her literally had no bounds! When he spoke of her, his eyes would light up and you could see his heart swell with love and pride.

Christopher served honorably in the United States Army as a combat medic during his tour in Afghanistan where he provided comfort to his comrades, as well as life-saving treatment on many occasions.

He leaves behind his loving daughter Claudia Marie, father Steven Elberth, mother Tammy Messenger, loving stepmother Maggie Marker, step-siblings Carly and Michael, sister Sami and his brother William, who he idolized and adored.

He loved his family with all of his heart and every fiber of his being as they loved him in return.

He will be remembered as a brave man, a loving soul, a loving father, son, brother, but most of all, he will be remembered.
