Christopher Daniel Koch Obituary
Chris was born on April 6th, 1977, and spent 45 beautiful years on this earth with his friends and family, before joining his loved ones in Heaven on November 2nd, 2022.
The ones who were lucky to know Chris, know how much of a gem he was. His infectious laugh would make your cheeks hurt from smiling, he had a heart of gold, and most importantly, he loved his kids more than life itself.
Chris attended Foothill High School here in Bakersfield and graduated in 1995. He continued to work for his grandfathers diesel shop, Walt’s Diesel Repair, where he built up a powerful reputation in this industry. His talents are well known across the industry.
Chris became a first-time father in 1999 and welcomed his second child shortly after in 2001. Caylie and Collin were his pride and joy and they proudly represent his legacy today.
We will be holding a graveside burial for Chris on Monday, November 21st, at 1PM located at Hillcrest Memorial Park.
